If I found 200,000 orcs on my front door, I would.... - The Barrow-Downs Discussion Forum

All right, beseiged it is. You bring the water and I'll bring the food and a deck of cards. You do play, don't you? Anyone else care to join? All head to Guy who be short's place, it's the one with the small front lawn. Don't forget to bring something to share.

Wonderful idea, Holbytlass

If the stores do run out, we can turn to cannibalism.

More details on the siege:
Board up the lower windows with planks from the garage so they cant be broken through.

Pour boiling water, the cheap substitute for oil, onto the orcs from the upper windows.

Throw antique lamps and other such parental belongings at the orcs. Perhaps set them on fire first.

Play loud rock music

Especially Blind Guardian.

Hm... I think I need more detail. What did the orcs bring? If they have siege weaponry I'm in trouble. I'm presuming they just have their little scimitars and swords?

We will have to enlist Formendacil's help. He/She said they had a generic-orc costume, and very good at mixing it up with the enemy. They could go on a reconnisance mission.

Oh dear...

It appears that I have been found out...

In reality, all references to my bravery, cleverness, bomb shelter, and even the Ork costume, are figments of my (rather active) imagination.

Although I imagine that a generic ork costume, due to the rather scruffy nature of the generic ork, would be quite easy to manufacture. Lots of cloth, rusty armour, assortment of dirty cultlery, and a lot of dark facepaint (well-smeared) ought to do the trick.

I'm far from an expert on the subject, but I'm willing to help, if I can... Although my main experience with lawn-battles tends to deal with lawnmowers....

Hope I had a fast horse and a back door.

Go back inside, of course!

I've just realised that my siege idea wouldn't work. Orcs wouldn't run out of stores - they'd just eat one another.
I guess I could try and withstand the siege and wait until the majority of the army has been consumed, then make a break for it...

Orc pie, anyone?
