I imagine you can find her 'round those parts. From what I heard, however, she only arrived at the gate to find it open after the fact. And we been questionin' folks all day tryin' to figure out where the goblins were first spotted. Seems they just up and attacked all at once, almost like they planned it. Not like goblins, but what do I know? I never really seen a live goblin 'till yesterday truth be told."The guard thinks for a moment, then shakes his head, "Nay, I dinna think anyone even thought about it. Bridges always got at least a pair of lookouts, and the river bank on the town side's pretty steep for the most part. Ways I hear it goblins don't much like water, and it's never been a problem before. We don't even patrol the beaches."Jamir recalls the following:<ul> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">Sheriff Hemlock inherited the post of sheriff when the previous holder died.</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">By and large, goblins are deathly afraid of horses and dogs. They love fire, but most of them aren't very adept at making it for themselves as they lack the patience. Putting out all the fires at a goblin camp has been known to be a fairly reliable way of keeping them from burning things down for a good while. "Longshanks" is a derogatory term for humans and demihumans; it usually refers to those demihumans taller than goblins but is often generalized to include all demihumans.</li> </ul>The guard does his best to comply with Nuko's request to be gentle in taking the goblin to the interrogation room, but the little monster does try to run away. It is a hopeless cause for him in his injured state however. The guard snatches him up and carries him off to the interrogation room. Inside the interrogation room, the goblin succumbs to the charm spell and is soon spilling the beans. He divulges to Nuko that he was ordered to kill everyone in town and burn down the place. As to how they got in, he only knows how his group got in--through the north gate, which was left open. When asked to speculate how some of the other goblins might have gotten in, all he has to say is, "Goblin sneaky!" That seems to be the primary extent of his knowledge. He cannot even seem to recall his leader's name, but when pressed, he does reveal: "we leader was one of you longshanks.""And that not all," the goblin continues. "We leader was on secret mission to sand town graveyard. Me not know what mission was though. It was secret, after all!"</blockquote>
