Lordo was fully prepared but he really didn't want to clash with this lich lord, without at least parceling out his real reason for coming here. He really racked his mind about what was around Hoshi or maybe this particular dungeon. He is also checking if the Myrmirdons have the basic skill sets only. To his dismay they haven't earned all four skills, only having shield bash, and Spear Stab. He is impressed that the new cut of recruits is taking the harder route. He eventually asked Koraa, "Why do you think he is here."
Koraa isn't a deep thinker, she is a point-and-shoot kind of girl. She told him the first thing that came to mind, "Maybe because this village is most developed on this side of the river Tymac."
