>>54888246
Let them burn.

Leave town, they'll believe me pretty soon.

Is this thread going to fill up with retards who think the girl in OP's image is locked to the firebox?

>>54888246
come back and try again after we got some boost to Bluff

Is an army coming, or is this some sort of ruse?

>Run to the Orc army
>Steal an Orc
>Run back to town
>Show the Orc to the townsmen

>>54888327
This, or it's probably easier to kill them and bring them their heads, weapons etc.

>>54888375

>Bring some heads

Doesn't exactly prove an army is on the march.
You'd be wasting a lot of time too, and exposing yourselves to great risk.

>>54888246
Assuming we're telling the truth? Write them off as too stupid to live and leave them to their godawful deaths.

In most settings forming marauding armies and terrorizing helpless villages is the one thing orcs are known for. The village has no more reason to doubt their approach than a Floridian should doubt the impending swarm of lovebugs in May. Just let the idiots die.

I bet ya got those from a merchant. Always scaring us hard working farmers with your silly tales.

>Can't convince the townsmen

What could go wrong?

>>54888273
...yes

>>54888246
Scenario A, the orc army is a loud and foul thing. Just point a telescope where they are to prove your case. If they still refuse then pack your shit and take as many provisions as you can abs leave them to their fate.
Scenario B, the orc army is not only vast but led by a competent leader that makes then stay hidden. To fight them with anything short of several regiments of professional soldiers is suicide, so take your shit and leave using the dumb hicks as a meat shield to slow down the bastards for at least a couple hours.

We must accept these unfortunate refugees and welcome them into our homes.

>>54888246
>>54888654
At this point we'd just sack the village ourselves. Scorched earth will at least slow the Orcs down and keep our retainers fed. Earth sucking dirt farmers deserve it for not abiding servants of the one true God.

Set up to receive the army ourselves. We're fucking heroes goddammit, we don't care who believes us. When they see the banners and hear the war cries they'll put up or shut up. But not a damn one of them will die on our watch.

>>54888246
How am I supposed to fight the fire with an extinguisher until firefighters show up or I am driven back by heat or smoke if I am cuffed to the fucking alarm after I sound it?

>>54888246
>wat do

Let them get killed by the Orcs.
Your only responsibility was to warn them and help them if they asked for it, but it was their choice to believe you or not and clearly they've made their decision.

Let the firemen do their job honey

I think I might be an asshole because everytime something like that happens I enjoy watching shit biting the ass of people like that

Mmkay
Wait till the army is near
Laugh my ass off with town's despair, like really laughing my ass off, pointing fingers at children crying for their mothers and lauging, telling "you get to die, and you get to die, and you get to die" Oprah style
Dimension door 1 km away
Hear the scream from afar and watch the fire while eating popcorn

Do nothing and watch the Orc rapes from afar.

>>54893213
What if I'm also a fireman?

Stalk a couple of lumberjacks in the forest near the town. Kill them with orcish weapons, make it look gruesome. Call the guards to report a murder and have your Favored Enemy: Orc ranger testify that this is what orcish scouts leading an invasion force tend to do.

>>54888246

Gather all the children in the town church and hold them hostage, We'll wing it from there.

>>54888246
>tries to convince
Is there actually an orc army coming, or not?

>>54888246
>kill the orc army
>tell the villagers they were right after all

>>54892827
The bigger probolem as I see it is that you're stuck there until someone arrives to let you out, which might take long enough for the smoke and/or fire to reach and kill you.

Whoever designed that dumped wisdom hard.

>>54888246
Start gearing up to take on an orc army. Go set traps to divide the forces into easily defeated groups, hire some peasants to patch up where we can't go and eventually, when it's clear there is an orc army on the way to sack the town, the guards should join the fray of their own volition.
Possibly condesce to the guards about how we have to pick up their slack to get them on the ball faster.

>>54888246
I will send positive energy their way.

There is a Savage Worlds adventure in the back of the book where you play elves tasked with burning down a village before orc raiders get there, as the raiders WILL destroy the town and your war council doesn't want the orcs to gather more supplies. Unfortunately, the village is all humans that distrust elves, and you have to convince them to burn down their own village. I thought it was bretty gud.

>>54894528
FYI the handcuff is not attached to alarm box, just your hand. You are free to run with a big ugly thing attached to your hand, and if you are a prankster and there's no fire, you get arrested.

>>54888246
Keep it up, after a while me and my party just go to the warband and just say "have at it." And leave.

>>54888327
If you do that enough times, you will only hasten the armies arrival.

Silly anon

>>54888246
depends on what I'm playing, and why I care.

>a paladin who wants to save the village
I'd probably start making preparations as best I can, with gaps to be filled when the army turns up and people panic

>a warlock who wants something in the city
I'd probably pretend to give up, leave, then steal/do it in the confusion.

>a fighter who wants to get payed
shrug leave for the next city and see if they're more receptive

ect...

>>54894963
So can you just set the alarm off without putting your hand in?

>>54888327
OK JON

>>54893770
Then you should have the key.

>>54888246
We've done our due diligence. If these mouthbreathers don't take our warning seriously, they deserve what they get.

>>54888327
But first, you must bend the knee.

>>54898466
Who the hell would bend a knee to a town.

>>54888246

>don't care, lead army to slaughter orcs
>absorb village into my growing hobgoblin kingdom
>assign competent lackeys to oversee food production, collection, occasional whipping of slaves
>move onto the next

>>54888246
move on, the smoke from this town will halp convince the next one.

and maybe kidnap some children, especially if there's an orphanage. Those they send to chase you can help defend the town they chase you to.

>>54888251
This
Eventually only those towns that believe our warnings will be alive

>>54888246
Of course they wouldn't. Orcs don't exist on Gaïa.
Unless Eljared breaking Imperium's toy caused some hiccups in reality to occur.

>So can you just set the alarm off without putting your hand in?
No, dummy. The point of the device is that you can't pull the fire alarm without getting a piece of metal clamped around your wrist, so if there isn't really a fire, everyone will know that you're the one who pulled the alarm.

I don't understand why this idea is so challenging to people on 4chan.

Preach the truth for three days straight. Those whom turn to my word shall be warned to leave if their kinsmen should not take notice.

Take any of the people who listen to an open field where they are captured by the Orcs, and killed. I was a clever Orc, one who learned to shape shift!

In twenty-four hours' time we march into the city adorned in the flesh of the dead villagers, using their bones as weapons.

>>54904032
Too slow. Charms & Geases all around.

>>54903536
What is to stop one from using wrench of some other implement to turn a dial without sticking a hand inside?
Or just having a thin wrist, something a kid who pulls the fire alarm as a joke is likely to have?
