Message: <blockquote data-quote="Maerdwyn" data-source="post: 1751587" data-attributes="member: 835">Fredar decides to wait until later to speak to Nate and the others.   He's a little disappointed that word of the traitor and the goblin woman have leaked.  He'll be looking out for us now, Fredar thinks, Less likely he'll slip up. Best to just take in what we can for now. During the course of the evening, he has an ear and a word for just about anyone who will speak or listen. <ul> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">The goblin raids are nothing to worry about, just goblins acting up.</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">We should call up the armsmen just in case.</li> </ul>"Aye, I think it would be good idea - the golins will trouble us only if they are organized and we are not.  If they see the good, stout people of the valley standing together against them, they'll stay well in the forests where they belong.  <ul> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">No offense but the goblins are just trying to stir up fears with stories of massing armies.</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">Someone working for the goblins? Rubbish.</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">A traitor huh? Well there could be, but I wouldn't know about that.</li> </ul>"Ah well, it could be all rubbish, I suppose - goblins telling stories. But even stories worth.  And they acting up - more than I've ever seen.   When was the last time someone came back from a journey to Seven with stories of being attacked by not one but two goblin bands?  You're probably right - there's probably no traitor. But the goblin?  They're real enough, and everyone needs to get ready for them."<ul> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">Ah well, what about that new servant of the Lady, or his friend. A dark one that.</li> </ul>"Well, the Lady's man took care of us right well this afternoon.  And I am not inclined to think a man so eager to undo so much of the goblins handiwork with one hand would be helping them with his other.  His friend, I don't know.  You may know something that would change my mind of course, but you can often tell a man by the company he keeps, can you not? I'm inclined to give him the benefit of the doubt."<ul> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">Ah well, What about the scholar?</li> </ul>"Aye? what about him? I've never had much time for books and scrolls myself, but what's he like?  A good fellow?" <ul> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">Ah well, the Landcarl spends alot of time out in the wilds all on his tod.</li> </ul>"Well, maybe he's seen some signs of this himself then, eh? Or maybe some things he has seen will fall into place for him when he thinks of in the context of our news.  I'll have a talk him.  Thanks - that's a help.  Anything I should know before I talk to him? Him being nobility, and all."<ul> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">Ah well, Mistress Honnis has done rather well for herself don't you think. Got herself a copse recently I hear.</li> </ul>"Good for her!  How did she manage that?"<ul> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">Ah well, Old Jaibobi is always turning up with odd bits and pieces. Never says where they come from though, will he?</li> </ul>"Ah, but the story is what turns odd bits and pieces into beloved treasures and heirlooms, isn't it? Now, what sort of things does this Old Jaibobi collect?  Nothing too alarming, surely?"</blockquote>
