Tana shrugs. "The Orcs can help secure freedom. I'd be happy to have them help. As to these," he says, hefting his axe, "I find chains to be breakable."
While Raine talks to the orcs and sees if there are any chains they can secure the giants with, and Tana threatens the giants into silence, Afamrail quickly searches the room they're in.
"I know giants have treated your kind terribly," he says to Tana. "But I can not butcher creatures who have surrendered. There must be a way to keep them quiet."

Raine glances around the room to see if there are more chains than the ones securing these two. (Perception if needed: 18)
In orc, she says, "We will try to free the rest of your clan as well. Do you know where they are?" Turning around, she asks in common, "Afamrail, do you think you could unlock these?"

Not sure if he's entirely comfortable leaving Tana to watch over the giants, after searching the first room, Afamrail goes into the orc's room and tries unlocking their chains. He lays out his tools and examines the lock, and tries not to look at the orcs too much. Elves and orcs have never had the most friendly of relationships. But they have a common enemy here.
One of the orcs say mockingly "Ha! Now they are captured. That's irony. And payback."
The other orc whispers to Raine "There is a orc rebellion is some natural caverns, they would love to help destroy the stronghold. We can show you how to get there.
"We would be grateful for the help if you can lead us there," Raine whispers back in orc. "As I'm sure you can see, there are a few giants out there in the hall. They mean no harm to us or to you, but we'd rather err on the side of caution and find someplace to restrain them while all of this is happening. Do you know of anywhere we could do that?"
Afamrail looks from the orcs to Raine and back to Tana. Risha has been quiet through this whole exchange. It is likely orcs never treated her well.
They could try and extract a promise from the giants but he doesn't think an oath would mean much to any of them.
"Tana," he starts. "I am going to suggest we bring the giants with us until it no longer matters if there is quiet or not."
Sensing the objection that is about to come, he continues. "But, perhaps telling them they need to be quiet or it will end for them the same as the one that fought us, will sound more intimidating coming from you. Can you threaten them to be quiet or else?"
He knows it's not ideal to bring the six with them but despite their mission to stop the giant raids he is not sure he can bring himself to butcher these ones who are not a threat.

Tana sighs deeply. "Perhaps you are right, but let it be known that these Giants would not hesitate to slaughter us in reciprocal circumstances."
He will walk up to the six. "You are only alive from the generosity of the small one here. We will take you with us and let you live until we are done. If any of you attempts to break free, though," he says, making eye contact with each one, "He will not stop me from killing you like the one that fought us previously."

Afamrail feels calmer now that Tana seems to have accepted his proposal. He just hopes the giants are smart enough or scared enough to hold up their end.
Turning back to Raine, he says “these two orcs seem to have taken to you. Can you get them to show us the way to the orc rebels?”
As they prepare to leave, Afamrail does a quick search of both rooms.
"Can you show us the way now? The giants will be coming with us, but we've made it clear that if they attack, they'll meet a quick end. If that happens, I want you both to run and hide. We'll come find you once the battle is over." Raine stands and hefts her shield up, preparing to leave.
The orcs open a door into the first hall you were in, but at the other end. They bring you to west side and open it. You enter a small room with kitchen food and one points to a door in the south of the room. I"n that room there is stairs down to the dungeon, but their may be guards. By the way, I'm Wallish," she points to the other orc, "That's Flelykur"
"Hang on a second," says Tana. "We have the situation somewhat secured for the moment. If I took some time, I would be able to commune with my ancestors and gain guidance for the future. Would you spare half an hour's rest and watch while I do so?"
Afamrail calls after Raine.
"Are there chains enough in there to secure these six?" he says, gesturing to the giants.
Tana shrugs. "The Orcs can help secure freedom. I'd be happy to have them help. As to these," he says, hefting his axe, "I find chains to be breakable."

The other orc whispers to Raine "There is a orc rebellion is some natural caverns, they would love to help destroy the stronghold. We can show you how to get there.
Tana will overhear the whispers.“Show us the way. I would be happy to liberate your people.”
“This still leaves us the problem of these six giants.”
Turning to Raine he says, “Can you ask them if there is somewhere nearby that we can lock them up?”
"We would be grateful for the help if you can lead us there," Raine whispers back in orc. "As I'm sure you can see, there are a few giants out there in the hall.

"The stairs down to the lower level are located in that room, but they've warned us to be on the lookout for guards," Raine relays to the group.

Afamrail nods.
He goes to the door the orcs pointed out and listens for any noise.
"Hang on a second," says Tana. "We have the situation somewhat secured for the moment. If I took some time, I would be able to commune with my ancestors and gain guidance for the future. Would you spare half an hour's rest and watch while I do so?"
“I think that will depend on how well travelled this area is,” Afamrail says.
Turning to the giants, he asks “How often do servants or guards come through this area?”
"This place connects to kitchen, servants come here all the time."
