If They Don't Know You're a Knight...

It's that memory, the way the Hob-goblin had shifted to deferential reverence the moment he realized that you were a Knight of Gondolia that led you to a startling idea. One that you couldn't stop thinking about the moment it came to you. What protects you, unfortunately, from the Hob-goblins is your status, your reputation, and the signifiers of that status and reputation. Without them, you'd just be an attractive and physically fit woman wandering around in the middle of the woods.

So if you truly wished to expierience firsthand what it would mean to be harnessed, saddled, and used as a Wo-Mount, then it would be a simple matter. The Hob-Goblins would have to find you alone in the woods, without armor, weapons, or any proof of your birth or abilities. Then you'd have to feign the sort of resistance that an untrained, but physically capable, wench might. Then there's no doubt you'd be brought back for harnessing.

It would be dangerous of course. Something besides a Hob-Goblin might find you, even if this was there territory. However, you could keep some protective items around just in case. Then there was the always possible risk that they'd forgo taking you as a Wo-Mount, and simply kill you. However, with your beauty, you were reasonably confident that no eager Hob-Goblin male would pass up on a woman like you.

You giggled to yourself at the thought. How scandalous. A knight of Gondolia pretending to be a common girl just so Hob-Goblins would kidnap and enslave her. Surely you could never actually go through with such a thing, right?
