2. You arrive in a town that used to have 600 inhabitants before the apocalypse. Most of the people are dead or turned into zombies or skeletons. The walls and keep are still standing, but they are made of plaster and wood. The lower levels of the keep were a dungeon, which has now been overrun by orcs. The orcs were still able to use magic before the world fell apart. The orcs were able to cast a spell that allowed them to keep very large monsters stored in magic jars. These large monsters still make up part of their population as well as the orc's population. The orcs are vicious and use large wyverns, giant spiders, dire wolves and chimeras as mounts. They have 12d8 large monsters that they keep in magic jars.
