Help Us! Ugh!
Or, you could not rest and rapidly head off after Prince Henry.
Sounds like Theo and Thaka have conflicting views. Post in and say what you're doing. No posty, I'll assume you're going with Thaka to continue your stated quest.
Having a horse turns out to not be much of an advantage. Mainly, because Gorgos is a big water town. It'd be like having a Ferrari in Venice; worse so. Actually I have no idea what I'm talking about, having never been to Venice.

You head back to the temple of Apollo, and for free, you can be healed to full. (No spells back yet.) This is the acolytes saying thanks for getting the Oracle's eye back. Donate if you wanna of course. The Oracle will not see you and stays at the edge of Lukros, staring at the sky. Somewhere, The Cure plays.
Then you hire another water taxi to take you to port, and from there, a boat to take you to the main island (see the map... you're going to Mammon's Point from Gorgos).
It's stormy as all hell, but you make it to the shore, and head along the trail, which winds up into the cliffs towering above Gorgos proper. The scale on the map is way off... Gorgos is just a few miles offshore from the main island, you can get there in an afternoon. The main delay is waiting for a boat to take you there. Everyone going, pay 10 gp for the boatride. Thaka, pay another 15 gp for your pony.
It's pouring and the weather sucks. And the road sucks too. Muddy and rocky up and up and up. Again, horse not much help, really.
You reach shore by late afternoon. It's mid-evening when, somewhere along the trail, you run into problems. One big problem and a bunch of small problems. Currently not your problem, but you might not have a choice. I'll explain.
Up ahead, in the growing gloom of sunset, you see through the haze of rain a combat in progress. It looks like a few fighter-type guys in uniforms vs large rats. Rats the size of fat little pigs, hard to say how many... a dozen? Leading the rats are what look like two rat men!
You're on a mountain trail, without much choice to pass on by unless you want to scale cliffs. One of the humans yells to you "Hey! Citizens! Help us! Ugh!"
