He was glad the mask hid most of his face, as he had been expecting the orc to hide the fact he had needed a 'mere' human's help, but the fact he was so welcoming might just mean he understood that trade was almost always better than raiding. He gave the orc a nod of thanks. "I am always glad to help those wise enough to listen to the words of others. And friends are very good things to have, and I welcome adding another."<br/><br/>He seemed to simply glance at his prize, but he immediately noticed that the female was at least a half orc, if not 'merely' orc blooded. That explained why she was 'unclaimed' and unmarked by the traditional scars, despite the prevalence of both on the other female he had seen in the camp. Likely her power had been, as he had guessed, an inconvenience that kept the males from trying to dominate her. Well, their loss was most definitely his gain. Once he had paid the required lip service to politeness, he gathered his selected kobolds, thankful for Grizzip beside him to convince the kobolds that he was a better choice, and shaman, before heading back to the lair. Having a female ally would make things much more interesting about the lair, he had little doubt of that.<br/><br/>
