Hasifar looks the orc leaving. Once he is far away, he starts explaining "Well mates, I'll tell you what I've found out, at least what the goblin told me.
It appears that one of Merric's competitors has used 'is goons against us. He has a specific competitor by the name of Ladoran who has recently been mendin' in 'is business. Ladoran is either an illusionist or a shapeshifter, Merric has not yet determined which, but the fella who accosted us received their instructions from one of Minotaur who was keepin' an eye over ya back there. The goblin claims that at the time of the meetin' where 'is men received their instructions, the Minotaur was accompanyin' 'im. He has no proof whatsoever, only that someone strong in magic or a shapeshiftin' could have convinced 'is men that the orders came from 'im. He says he is fairly well convinced that Ladoran is the one who has played both of us.
He claimed that he knew nothin' about the murders or the murderers, but he agrees with me, that the only reason that this Ladoran guy would have had to ambush us is that he is at least in some degree, guilty.
Or, he could have lied to me all the way around, and he could have been the one who sent the goons and now is misleadin' us." Hasifar Shrugs. "I guess I'm not good at telling who is lying, but the little imp seemed sincere."
