An Orcish raiding party charges into your building. How do you react?

Edward Longpork

I'm in an office with open-plan seating, and I sit by the door, so I'd be in a lot of trouble.

I think my first move would be to pick up the chair I'm sitting in and use it as a shield. If an orc is coming at me, I'd heave the chair at him and then run the other way.

My boss, who sits next to me, would definitely get kicked towards the orcs.

There is nothing at my desk I could use as a weapon. Closest thing would be some scissors. Best I could hope for would be to put out an eye and run. I would grab a box of push-pins and scatter them behind me like caltrops.

The survival plan would be to get to the stairwell, run down a few floors, and then hide in a filing cabinet or something. I wouldn't fuck with the elevator.

I direct them upstairs to their audience with Little Orange. I assume they're petitioning her for something, and I don't meddle in her business.

Probably get bludgeoned while googling "orc attack" then refining my results to "what to do in an orc attack" and finding a bunch of unhelpful lists before I go with "orc weakness" at which point they are probably through the door.

Demand a perception check and a default IQ roll before the initiative is rolled to determine if they're Tolkien orcs or Warhammer orcs. Failing to make a distinction, I roll initiative and attempt a grapple against the closest if they and I are both unarmed and proceed to beat a motherfucker with another motherfucker until I can improvise a weapon of some sort. If they are at all armed I would attempt a fighting retreat as I throw any and all of the plentiful handy objects scattered around my apartment and make a move for my windows overlooking the parking lot.

If Warhammer orcs I bend over and kiss my pinkskin, Umie backside goodbye. Even if I somehow managed to flee or even defeat them this world is now doomed to the Green Death. I'd still fight the best I could, being stubborn, but hold no illusions about victory.

If Tolkien orcs I commit totally to killing them as expediently as possible and will under no circumstances allow myself to be taken alive. If Uruk-hai I flee as per armed orcs, see above, but intend to circle around after I get to my car for a few useful items and a genuine weapon or two. Odds are very good that if they're here for me specifically I won't have to go looking for them, but I'm not leaving them alive if I can help it.

Life can be seen as a game with no reset button, no extra lives, and if the power goes out there is no restarting.  If that's all you see life as you are not long for this world, and never will get it.
