Thanks!

I think I know what's going on, hehe...so here's my two cents worth:

I can see Khamir and anyone else who's typically "kill all orcs" taking the "exchanging hostages" route to avoid giving in, but also to avoid confronting fully the concept of Orc women and children, and Orcs who are "like them" in any way...and particularly to avoid dirtying their hands with killing them.

But then there's also the saving the children bit. Should everyone get involved with that? As in, should it be a mad rush to save them? Or should it be that some go to help, others stay to continue watching the orcs and stuff, and someone allows at least one of the orcs to go help (others don't notice or can't do anything about it cause of the confusion)?

I hope I'm not way off on what's going on precisely, and what the atmosphere is supposed to be like...I need to read through things more thoroughly.
