Renna:
Saiqa nods, "Kabir is a meeting point for several Hisari tribes - hill people, mostly miners and herders. A market where ores are refined, bought, and sold to be shipped down to the sands where the Faqari deliver them to us. The Yafeu Clan holds the monopoly on the Kabir route last I checked, but they're always fighting and the routes change hands faster than we can keep up sometimes. I want those mines operational and the tin flowing, and I grant you the authority to do whatever you deem necessary to make that happen. Give the Hisari whatever assistance they need to resume work. If Dev are sacking Kabir and the surrounding mining settlements, obviously no one will be shipping us anything."
[What would constitute better treatment for her soldiers to Renna? You can make Bargain rolls or arguments in favour of alterations to the contract. Right now the terms are very favourable to Saiqa in that she pays you relatively little up front, and only pays you based on how successful you are at getting tin delivered to the Principate. This means if you all die she hasn't lost too much money, but it also means that if you save the town of Kabir but can't break out to secure the mines you won't be paid very much.
Saiqa is currently less willing to make concessions or lend aid because she doesn't believe this will be a successful long term working relationship given the strong distrust of sorcerers amongst your officers, so if you all get yourselves killed it's unfortunate but not a huge loss.]
