The Chieftain Orc has a soft spot.

The chieftain orc has requested an apprentice, and you landed the spot! Room and board, plus pay for every day you help them. However, you will have to live in the orc village. You have been given safe passage to roam the orc village within reason. The orc chief can't promise you safety in certain parts of the village; some of the orcs are hungry for outsider flesh.
