"A good question, Father Tanor, but are you absolutely sure anything else can be done to save the girl, or that you are not running out of time? I would prefer to save her, Radiant Light Grant That It Be So, as a raising is beyond my own abilities, but we cannot promise her life any more than you can, unfortunately. Your alternative is to wait to see if your two men in Eivanrach can raise the necessary army and return with it in the allotted time, and even then, they face the same problems we would. How to get in, unseen and unheard. How to interpose themselves in time between the girl and the orc who would slay her. But what is not in question is our willingness to do the task, our good souls as men, and our lethality with regard to orcs. We are an army, and we are here.For all we know, if the orcs have not shown her alive of late, the girl may already be murdered, with only your collective knowledge of it between them and their certain deaths. We do have the fact that, as even these orcs must know, the girl, if alive, is their only remaining hope to maintain the cessation of hostilities that exists - there are no other hostages left alive. Apparently, Father Tanor, you saw firsthand how orcs value negotiation. But they are not stupid, either.We can promise you this, as we promised Baxter earlier: if you wish to entrust us with the mission, we will do whatever can be done to return the girl alive, if at all it can be done, same as those you would have hired. Regardless, no orc will draw breath in Emmethrach, by dawn. I swear it on my immortal soul.Now, let us talk of what you know of the orcs who remain. Are there any spellcasters among them? And where is Raven?"</blockquote>
