Gothic/Horatio the Peasant

Horatio is one of many who got thrown into the Colony for a minor crime (in his case, he accidentally killed a man) and is now serving a life sentence for it. He says he can teach you how to be strong like him if you can give him a good reason why (the available choices aren't satisfactory).

To get a good reason, go to the pub and ask Jeremiah about the Rice Lord. Go back to Horatio and he will now be satisfied with your answer, and awards you with +5 strength for free.
