Mradoric is still standing waiting for something to happen wondering what the Orcs are going to do and how many they will be facing. He is still wondering what is going to happen when he sees, Zinnathyra Corren and Carrick coming back and not running like being chased.
Zinna looks to the other two. " I hope I didn't make a mistake. I knew the desperate need for help and also wanted to prevent an attack on Durmista. " She runs her hand through a lock of her auburn hair. " So… who should do the talking at Durmista to get the supplies. I mean I will if necessary. I'm the one that promised this to Oomigig. Just wondering if maybe Carrick might be more effective with the elves there. "
Corren is obviously fighting to control his emotions. He looks at Leo and Mradoric and speaks softly so no others can hear. "The orcs are not going to attack. Yet. Provided we bring them food they are going with us to be our diversion for the Illiosani. Oomigog, or however it is pronounced, has done a deal with Zinna to help. He and his band have split from the main tribe, as the tribe is making peace with the Illiosani, but he wants his revenge. If Zinna had not made the deal they were going to attack Durmista for supplies. That has been forestalled for now. So buy as much food as we can carry from the Lighthair here and lead the orcs away. Please don't ask for more details right now. Let's just get it over with. Tell the elves the orcs are not going to attack, and we need to buy food and supplies, since we have to go."
Leo blinks a few times, a little nonplussed, "I doubt they're going to just accept that at face value Corren. It will look to many like we are running away and leaving them to the Orcs. It may be best to tell them the truth, or at least a version of it. We could say we're leading them off to tangle with the Iliosani instead easily enough."

Zinna grins. " We have our own personal orc warband. Things are going well. We could tell them the truth. Just leave out the part with them threatening to attack Durmista. We could tell them that they were looking for me. I know Oomigig from the Iliosani caverns. They are purchasing food from us and will help us against the Iliosani. They are civilized orcs. " Zinna laughs.
Mradoric agrees that using the orc war band to help them with the Illiosani will be a great Idea. Just getting them food seems it may be a little bit of a challenge. He is not entirely convinced the war band is going to be their best option but sees no other options right now.
