Message: <blockquote data-quote="Ulorian - Agent of Chaos" data-source="post: 1954612" data-attributes="member: 16668">Horsom rubbed the back of his neck ruefully. "Barely outside of Long Archer, and things are already rolling uphill. That's what happens when you move without consulting the Baron or the Provost first." Horsom muttered to himself. "Think, Horsom, think." Using one of the lessons his mentor Corvo had taught him, Horsom took a deep breath and cleared his mind, attempting to obtain an objective view of the situation. As much of a hate-filled idiot as Rogger was, was it possible he was right about the goblin? Horsom's experience with goblins were with the (relatively) friendly and trustworthy craftsmen, guards, and dockworkers working the ports and caravans that he had frequented over the last few years. He knew, however, that there were tales, maybe somewhat exaggerated, about goblins waylaying lone travellers and the like. Was he about to become one of those waylaid travellers? "I don't think so." He went over his reasoning. There couldn't be an ambush waiting for them. They weren't on any road leading to any town, let alone Selby-by-the-Water. The goblin volunteered that he'd like to go to Selby, meaning that to get there they would have to take one of any number of routes. Impossible to lay an ambush if you don't know what route your quarry will be taking. That was good enough for Horsom and he shared his conclusions with the rest of the band."Look, not all goblins are evil. I've spent time around many goblins in my caravaning days and they've been by and large decent sorts. I'll be alright. Besides, the plan was for me to get to Selby-by-the-Water alone to get in touch with my guardsman buddies anyway." Just in case he was wrong about the goblin, Horsom carefully avoided mentioning the small sack of coins he carried, the one to be used as initial payment for any mercenaries he might hire.</blockquote>
