Hey guys, I'd like some ideas for a scene in a fantasy-fiction story I'm writing. Basically I'm having trouble figuring out how something should be done and I'd like ideas.
Here's the scenario.
This is set in a fantasy fiction setting like Lord of the Rings or whatever. The hero needs to partially destroy the enemy camp of roughly 30,000 enemies (when fully gathered) which are orc-like minions to the main antagonists. This is a solo mission and the minion camp is situated in a mountain valley. The enemy army consists of regular minions as opposed to a large variety of enemy monsters and creatures due to the lost power of the main antagonists of the story (there were 8 antagonists and now only one remains). The remaining antagonist creates more of these minions at about a rate of 1,000 more or less everyday. The camp needs to be destroyed in hopes of lowering the number of minions in the army before the actual battle.
Here's the limitations and important things. There might be more.
-this is a solo mission, nobody can help the hero
-the hero is very powerful, has been practicing magic for over 40,000 years (this story is the 4th in a series I've been writing)
-stealth is important, though there can be a big thing that the hero can stealthily build up to if you know what I mean. (like a sudden fire that engulfs a large portion of the enemy army)
-hero may go into the camp to accomplish this, though he must remain undetected
