Krado and Udzar
Krado has been silent since Raul's intense admonition to him, but he is looking increasingly nervous now, like he is about to have another outburst at any moment.
Chief Udzar clasps Darius's arm and says, "Welcome, Brother! He then produces a small flask of greenish glass, unstoppers it, and takes a good-sized slug. The he passes it to Darius with a toothsome grin.

First Post
As Darius raises the flask in salute, he says [highlight]"Well, I guess that makes you an honorary constable as well. See that you accord protection to law-abiding travelers and refrain from kidnapping citizens of Lauralie Summerhome. We welcome you as a brother."[/highlight] Darius hands over his baton with great ceremony before taking a slug from the flask.

The liquor Darius drank is evidently a secret, orcish brew of some sort. It tastes of mushrooms, or some such fungus, and burns all the way into your stomach like drinking molten steel. It's actually kinda good, though.
Udzar accepts the baton gratefully, his eyes brighten, and he cocks an eyebrow. "Excellent! I thank you, Brother. I will make it a point to visit "our" city within the year, so that we may renew these bonds."

Thea continued to keep mostly quiet- she didn't know exactly what might prompt a snag in the negotiating process, and she wanted to get the halfling back into the city. Partially that was an honest desire as a constable to see the endangered citizen safely home, but she also wanted to get rid of the little fellow- and by the gods, she wanted a nice hot bath as well. Just being near this crowd of orcs made her feel vaguely greasy, just as their tribal name would indicate....

Chief Udzar
"Well, that settles that matter, then! We give the halfling into your hands and are rid of him!"
But Chief Udzar motions his new brother Darius aside, away from the hearing of everyone else, and says in a whisper, "You do understand, don't you brother, that the halfling must be kept from coming to harm at the hands of.....of.....of that, don't you? Here he clearly indicates Wally as being "that."

"The Truth Comes Out, At Last," or "Wally's Story"
Chief Udzar says, "When that whelp of a cur, he points at Wally, was first brought to our tribe, we had soothsayers who warned of the trouble he would bring. You see, he was sired by the warrior who was our Chief at that time, Ugnutz, during a raid into a nearby settlement of humans. His mother's people, when they saw the half-breed nature of the child she carried, cast him away while she swooned from the travail, and, as fate would have it, he was found by our tribe. He was raised up with Ugnutz's brood, but he was never fully accepted by either his brothers or by Ugnutz's concubines who befouled their breasts with his half-breed lips. At any rate, he was never happy with his status in the tribe, since he felt he should be treated as a full prince, but that was never going to happen. (As luck would have it, not too long after this Ugnutz was challenged by my father, Gringrowlf, and his head soon became the centerpiece in our table, but that is another story.) Getting back to the whelp of a cur in question, he began to look for opportunities to raise his status in the tribe, and that was when he learned about the halfling mapmaker. The halfling was making maps of what you call the 13th Ward, and the cur thought that he could win acceptance in the tribe by stopping him. He kidnapped the halfling and brought him here, intending to torture and kill him in front of the tribe. But we knew that if any harm came to a Citizen of the City, then we would be in extreme danger from the vengeance that would surely follow. So I, Udzar, took the halfling away from the cur, and locked him away here to keep him safe while we tried to figure out how to return him home without bringing down war and ruin upon our own heads at the hands of the City. And now you have come, and we have together felt our mutual pain and our bodies are emblazoned with the seal that unites us. So now, since our Chief has this bond with a Constable of the City, we need not fear reprisals when our intentions were only for the good of the Tribe and of the City."
