I guess everyone still ... well, I guess you've all forgotten, but back when we were discussing how to deal with Aliang's gang, Cordova clearly stated that he's willing to help, but if things don't go smoothly with those kobolds after he goes down the mine and he has to get serious, then Motan and the others would have to help him with a little something.
The thing is, it's not that Cordova is willing to play the 'traitor'; even if he were simply asking Woof and others for a favor, Motan and the others would definitely not say no.
And we all know the result of that affair. Under Cordova's efforts, once Aliang's gang learned the truth, they not only withdrew from the mine on the same day but also humbly apologized to the Miner's Guild and the engineers involved.
