His recruitment mission turns up better results than he could have hoped for. About a day's travel away, he finds a decent-sized orc camp, sitting outside of a mine, where, he can see, the orcs have a tribe of kobolds doing the mining for them. They have at least thirty orc warriors, several elite soldiers, at least a pair of shamen, including a fairly attractive, muscular, female one, as well as an entire tribe of kobolds.
