You accept the quest! You are sure to inquire about any equipment upgrades, especially a new axe and boots. Thomas gives you a leather vest and riding pants. He gives you some sturdy leather boots. He also gives you a backpack with some food for the road. The pack also contains a map and compass.
"So, you're an axe man? I prefer a good halberd myself, but I'll see what I can find." He goes back into the armory and when he returns, he gives you a long battle axe. It has a heavy iron blade and a spike on the back. He lets you take a few swings with it and gives you a few tips. Its a bit slower than your old woodchopping axe, but you feel like once you get it going it will chop through anything.
He gives you a horse to use, but says he expects you to bring it back if you can. You're all fitted out like a rider!
Thomas doesn't think the castle would want the horns for a monument. "You might be able to sell them to somebody here in town, though..." he muses.
He declines your offer of a drink, saying he's going to be far to busy preparing the defense of the city. Also, he says you should be in a hurry! He offers some advice, "I would suggest that you go out the north gate and take the road north to Tollby and then head across the fields west to Frinardus. You could go cross-country all the way, it might be faster if you don't get lost, but who knows what you might run into! Although you've already shown that you can handle yourself, am I right?!" He slaps you hard on the back, nearly knocking you off the horse. "Off you go! Good luck!"
