Way of the Wicked Book 2 question

[Patman]

OK, My PC's cleaned out the Horn, got provisions, hired a cook, smith, alchemist and torturer...My question is this, In the gazeteer, it says the Caer Bryr is teeming with barbarian tribe etc....They want to go recruiting gaurds from the barbarian tribes....I allowed the Antipaladin to recruit his max number of followers..so the have about 25 1st level puds, 2 2nd and a 3rd...but they want to find monsters and other guys to guard their dungeon...Any ideas how to tailor this...if they get a whole boatload of guys,l the good parties will just wipe pretty easily, don't you think?

Hallack's Crew will get wiped easily by that boatload of guards. That will most likely make the Player Charaters overconfident about their defenses.

The two "sisters" will be able to thin out quite a few of the guards and some of the more powerful monsters over several nights. The PCs will most likey will have to lead the search to hunt them down.

The remaining good parties should be too powerful for the guards, so the PCs should have devised a method to react quickly to an invading force.
