Gurmok listens to the unfortunate longshank's story. His overly dramatic retelling confuses him for a moment - himself would certainly have never reacted in this way - but he isnt't one to judge. If Zetath were to ask him for help to learn the way of Irori, he would start by explaining the basics of self-control, but that seems an unlikely prospect. Anyway, the help the man needs is not philosophical or educational, but physical in nature. Gurmok has seen a few examples of slavery in action in his travels, and never found a case of it being a good thing for all involved. Also, helping a longshank is also an opportunity to earn goodwill, and rehabilitate some of the reputational burden all goblins suffer from.
