"Unable to profit at a legitimate occupation? she growls.  My father tried profiting at a legitimate occupation, and what did it get him?  A goblin's sword through his belly.  I'm trying to protect this country, and if a bunch of armed strangers can just wander through, I'm not doing a very good job, now am I?  I might not have fancy ancestors who did legendary deeds, so I'm going to have to do the deeds myself, but for that, I need resources.  I'd much rather get them from the goblins than from you, but I'll take what I can get."She closes her eyes and takes a deep breath."Okay, you're right," she says.  "No reason you should want to attack them in broad daylight--but you're not really all that far from Crovale.   If you kept walking until sunset today, you'd only need about six hours from dawn tomorrow.  It would barely be past noon when you got there.  I'm sure we can work something out."[sblock=Insight 14 (active or passive)]She seems anxious to work out a deal of some sort.[sblock=Insight 19 (same roll)]Although there's some  information she's holding back.[/sblock][/sblock]</blockquote>
