evil campaign dwarves and murderhobos

[Count Coltello]

For my new campaign I decided to start the PC's in a prison camp.of sorts

This camp is ran by dwarves who want to use non lethal (as to not lose the work force)

The prisoners are put to work doing one of three things
Mining. In the middle of the camp.is a giant hole go down hole and bunch of tunnels

Hunting. To provide food for prisoners and gaurds heavily supervised

And smelting and crafting.
Who better to make all the armor and weapons than prisoners no pay lol

The players have a chance to.take over the camp (keeping production) or
Take over and kill everyone (using it as base of operations)

They wont be able to buy stuff due to Mega ultra evilness
That's why I made the prison camp into a crafting thing if they keep the prisoners (more of allies after prison break) than they will continue crafting but will get paid the PC's get armor and weapons and miscellaneous items from their camp and a steady supply of prisoners

One question I have is do I hint to the players sublty and diplomacy is better than murderhobo. For this part or let them play it out with no hints

Next one what kind of builds should nonlethal using dwarves have

And any ideas on how to run it for the break what kind of skills should I use for the mining hunting or crafting (the crafting I know)

And any general advice would help thanks

Be prepared for charactor creation hijinks if the players know in advance they are starting inprisoned. Monks, sorcerers, and any other classes with capabilities that do not rely on gear will be prevalent.

If you want the player to not kill everyone, I would suggest havning events that show solidarity amount the prisoners to build some investment in the playes in keeping the prisoners alive.

Just my two copper from work

The classes are already decided they chose bard and wizard both necro

In that case, make sure you are prepared for when they use the potter's field attached to the prison camp to spawn minion waves.

just be happy its a bard and not a cleric..

[Count Coltello]

They are planning to have a huge army of undead the bard is going vampire the wizard a lich. So they will have a decent army

[rorek55]

cleric would still be better in the undead horde area. but bards are probably more fun :3

Is this a Dwarven death camp?

Golarion Dwarves are known for their genocidal tendencies, so I am curious.

I don't know much of golarian dwarves ,
And bard is going dirge and skald bard (houseruled can take both he only taking one summoning power at lvl 10 oh and rage works on undead)
