Need ideas for evil PCs to help invade a city
Looking to do something "a little different" with my players this week and run a 1-off one shot.
The premise is that they've been tasked by the BBEG to infiltrate a city, and weaken it from the inside so it'll be easier to invade when his undead army arrives at dusk the following day.
I'm obviously thinking having encounters like talking their way past the town guard, but what else should they have to do? Maybe tasks that weaken or sabotage the city, while still keeping a low profile? Have the final fight against some good-aligned monster that protects the city?
Could use either resources or just ideas on what to include!
Thanks in advance!

Give them objectives and let them come up with the plan. For examples:
Destroy city communications
Neutralise city guard
Instigate rebellion
As a dm, I could think of things for the played to do to achieve such objectives, but I wouldn’t tell them. Just let them come up with ideas and play what they decide!
I agree with this.
Neutralising the temple/s also makes sense, given the undead element.
But it's then up to them to blow them up, bribe the high priest, etc.
