After about a week of travel you arrive outside the trolls cave. You hear a deep and threatening growl within, shaking the trees around the roughly hewn entrance. Bubol narrows his eyes and draws his sword, clutching it tightly with both hands.
You grin and reach out with your power. The trolls minds are brutish, even more so than the orcs. There is a base cunning, but you easily overwhelm it. The trolls howl inside the cave, and the 4 of them storm out.
Bubol and the orcs close by leap back with a curse, spears and weapons ready. The trolls come to a stop in front of your troops. 18ft to 20ft tall, they are covered in thick leathery skin over thick muscle.
You look over the orcs and offer another grin.
“Kneel,” you speak.
As one the trolls drop onto their knees, and rumble. Your grin grows wider.
“Welcome to the army. “

You scry Argonak and Zartha as they attempt to secure the raiding camp. It appears that they have in fact captured the camp, but the goblin raiders have fled instead of facing the 800 warriors. They will now try to hunt down the raiding parties

You now trace the thread to Pavlock and the two chiefs. Oh! It looks like they have the outpost under siege! Excellent!
But it looks like they were harried on their approach, and their initial attack on the outposts defenders was beaten off. It now seems that while they have the main force of the feral orcs ( estimated to be about 4 warbands worth) under siege, they have warriors harrying their flanks and supplies.
What do you do?
A. Help the group dealing with the raiders. Sooner we deal with them the sooner we can help with the outpost.
B. Help the outpost, since they appear to be in more immediate danger.
C. Head backs to your fortress.
D. Something else?
