Dying in combat

[Mongoose Pete]

Yeah I guess I so. Right now they are fighting orcs, so maybe clan relatives could hunt them down. That would make for an interesting session.

Ah, my suggestions were for PCs killing members of their own race. Slaying members of a potentially antagonistic species will have other dynamics.

Still, provoking a neighbouring tribe into outright war will soon lose the PCs public support in their own community - perhaps the orc chieftain could threaten raids or reprisals unless the murderers are handed over for orc justice.

It all depends if you want to treat the orcs as a sapient race with rights, or simply turn them into monsters which can be justifiably slain out of hand. Either is enjoyable in its own fashion.
