Our session Saturday night was mostly finishing up after the last adventure, and doing things such as identifying items, taking rescued prisoners to safety, and then preparing for the next part of the plot. Unfortunately, that means dealing with some high-level orcs, and of the two characters who speak that language, one used Charisma as a dump stat, and my character who is a) an elf, and b) shares in her people's racism. I don't expect that our interactions with them will go well.
Oh, also, we successfully introduced our new character, a priestess of Shelyn who will apparently be splitting between tanking and healing. I think that the new player works well with our group (that's a bit of an understatement), and I'll be glad that there will be someone else in full plate between me and the scary things. I'm still kicking myself for burning the components for a Limited Wish when there were clerics right there who could cure the suicidal ex-assassin.

Best of luck to you! Maybe your new party member just so happens to speak orcish? Either that or perhaps the charisma dump stat character will speak orcish like an orc and e respected for it. Break leg.

How many CR levels would a monster need to be above an adult red dragon to successfully prey upon them?
It's basically a draconic whale (including stubby legs) that lives in the desert swimming through the sand. I call it a drake eater. Ancient drake eaters have a bead the size of a roc's wing.
EDIT: I'm low-balling the ancient drake eaters at CR 28 (5E) and CR 27 (Pathfinder).

The new cleric might be a good choice, and I was reminded some time after posting that the necromancer has the Tongues spell, and she has a high charisma, and is probably our best chance. I'd probably save the rogue as the last choice, since I doubt that even speaking like an orc, rather than "Oxford Orcish" would cover the 12-14 point difference in social rolls.

Last weekend I went to a little Toronto event called OSRCon - Old School RPG Con. There were six games total - three in the morning, three in the afternoon.
In the morning I was in a very fun party using The Fantasy Trip (TFT) system. My character was basically Hawkeye. When his bow string snapped in the first combat it became very clear just how useless he was for anything else. In the second combat - where we had time to plan - I took out as many enemies as the rest of the party combined. I would totally play that ancient system again.
The afternoon session was in a system called Dungeon Crawl Classics (DCC). The adventure was Escape From The Purple Planet. Shades of Paranoia in that game system! It was a rollicking adventure. You start off with 4 zero level characters each - and see who survives long enough to make L1. At the end of the adventure I had one character dead, one maimed (lost leg), one transported to Barsoom and living his Best Life, and one still not dead. :) It was a blast. Also would totally play again.
What ancient systems have you folk enjoyed?
