The Bard in my party keeps convincing the NPC bad guys to join us after we kill off their leadership by offering them space to build a house in the small village I own as part of my noble heritage. I will keep the land, they will pay me taxes, but they can build and live there. The typical feudal set up. I instead of course recruited actual knights and guards with scruples. So we now have an army and we're headed to have an epic battle with this orc army at their encampment bringing the battle to them for the King and catching them completely off guard. Last session we took out the orc scouts in this awesome three pronged pincer attack.
This session the first NPC we convinced to join us died while we were camping. A bag man infected our bag of holding or however it happened. We staked the bag and buried it in a ten foot deep hole that we can return to with a priest or something to deal with it proper. We tried to save him but the bag of holding ate him so we tied a silk rope to a tree and sent a Mage Hand into the bag to fish him out and nearly did. Just as we saw him the druid reached out, touched him, and Misty Stepped away with him but... it was only his upper half. The bag ate his lower half like a flipping shark or something! Then we held a funeral for them and released his other two former bandit friends from our services paying out his shares to them. It was actually a really touching and deep story driven role-playing segment sandwiched in between two pretty epic battles.
The next battle we were able to dispatch the goblin look outs with a synchronized barrage of heavy crossbow quarrels. Then we got into their base and slowly started killing the orcs in their sleep, but the other half of their army just showed up except our army in now in their fortifications. So next session is a reverse seige.
