- Oh, that's a great idea. To be honest, I had some doubts myself. The contract seems simple, and hopefully, it will be, but... Have you ever been ambushed in a forest and shot at with arrows? It's an extremely unpleasant situation.
He extended his hand for a handshake.
- Sid Vander, my pleasure. I need to get to my post now, and I'll be finished closer to evening, after which I was planning to start the assignment. If we're going to cooperate, that would be around that time. But it will still be quite light, so there's no need to worry about that. We can discuss the details right now if you like. If you don't have any urgent matters, we can even take a short walk in the direction of my route," he nodded towards the road. "As I see, you also prefer close combat? I see two main problems with this contract. We will probably find them, but the extent of their training is unclear. The farmer said that they are most likely former slaves of the Lafirs, so they are unlikely to be particularly trained for war or hunting, but goblins are agile, who knows? You can kill them with an arrow even in the joint of their armor. And they might have dug up some primitive traps. It's not certain, of course, if they are just simple thieves and garden raiders, but I wouldn't rule out that possibility. We'll have to proceed very carefully. In addition, the farmer said he saw only three of them, but there may be more.
—Yes, evening would be fine. —Fey listened carefully to Sid, noting in his mind the important points that he had overlooked due to his inexperience. —Close combat against goblins will indeed be difficult. And I hadn't thought that there might be more than three of them. Hmm... Maybe we should try to set up an ambush ourselves near the farm, where they go?
