It's probably not what you're looking for, but I thought this sounded similar to this greentext story about a necromancer.
A short story I read online a few years ago - a group of Heroes in Name Only are going to defeat the evil dictator who rules their land. It begins in an inn where they’re staying, and they’ve stolen from and/or murdered someone else in the inn under some pretense of them being fugitives or something. When they get to the Overlord, it’s revealed that he’s actually a wise and benevolent ruler, and most of the hatred towards him is because of racial prejudice, and his reforms for tolerance. He’s some kind of orc or something, and one of the group brings up that he eats worms, and he says “speak for yourself, flesh-eater!” I want to find it again cause I can’t remember how it ends!
