He knew there was at least 1 dwarf being tortured, and the fact that they left before without getting him stuck in his craw.Before "today's" attack, I don't think we were aware the orcs were enslaved per se. I suspect the Colonel is not motivated to free them because letting a group of orcs free outside of the compound risks collateral damage that he doesn't see coming from the dwarves. As Fitz said, that's probably racist and might not be in the spirit of 5e. He's open to persuasion, but he has clearly been content to let the orcs stay, while he is going to extraordinary lengths to rescue the dwarves and other obvious prisoners.Feel free to talk him round.Keeping peace with the Stone Giants seems a good idea to the Colonel; he has had no conversations with the Fire Giant, and (rightly or wrongly) sees them as the puppet masters of the Hill Giants. If they were to see the Fire Giant, he plans on attacking. (and again he can be talked out of this.)I hope this helps. I think we are all mostly on the same page. Maybe this will help get our momentum going again.[/spoiler]</blockquote>
