Gruthic takes out a pair of hatchets, "Try this," He lays a blade flat next to the object, the scraps it onto the blade of the first with the second. "I don't know much about magic, but it sounds like a leash for a whipped dog."
(Brilliant description of the intertwined magics, by the way! Necromancy for the base effect, Divination to alert the caster, and Evocation to project the main necromantic effect as well as channel secondary uses.)

”I don’t know too much about magic, but it sounds like the one strand is connected to ‘the host’ (the orc) and the other is connected to the one who cast it. This orc may have led his horde directly too us! Captain, should we send a scouting party to the Northwest after we learn more about the orb?”
"From what I've heard, they already know we're here. That's why this one's here." Guthric shoves the unconscious orc with his boot, "The choice is clear now. We must strike before they strike again."

"Perhaps we should get an idea of their numbers and whether it would be wise to attack them head on. We should send a scouting party but ready a larger force to follow directly behind if the odds are in our favor."
After cleaning his blade of the orcs ichor, Wraith, the albino half-elf warlock, turns to the group. "We were just discussing a scouting mission prior to this one's interruption.", Wraith says while nodding towards the unconscious orc. Wraith's accent clearly identifies him as hailing from the more hospitable Southern realms. "I believe it is even more imperative to do so now in light of this new information and before the orcs can organizeanother offensive against the supply camp. Captain Grubb, with your permission, I'd like to start organizing volunteers for a long patrol towards the direction of the magic Quoren discovered."
"My thoughts exactly. We should strike from darkness or draw them out in small bands."

Wraith looks about at the gathered soldiers before him with whom he has shared battle with along with the three new soldiers. "I think those gathered here would be a great scouting force."

Manon closes her eyes as the wind blows through the group. Though she is a native of the mountains far from this place, the natural energy of the swamp's blessing is comforting.
Corrin arrives at the camp, having received his new assignment, and looks around for whoever is in charge of the camp. As he approaches, the gnome grumbles something under his breath about his skills being wasted in a place like this, but that doesn't slow him down at all.
"Captain," the large outland turns to Captain Gubb, "Where are the orcs and do we know anything about their camp? If we attack at night and know what we face, we can do as much as a hundred."
