So far the Old and poor district was in relative order. Minimal looting and little chaos, thanks to Havien and and his men. They worked efficiently and made sure those who could left and those too stubborn or stupid grouped together in the safer areas. Those who wanted to stay and fight were quickly armed with some sort of nearby weapon, though most had to go with the clothes on their backs.<br/><br/>There weren't many soldiers in the district, no real fault of the king himself. Havien knew it wasn't an oversight, but a necessary measure. The old quarter wasn't as important as industrial or market but was still important. That and Havien had made sure the old quarter had law and order.<br/><br/>"Lieutenant. set up barricades. I have received no word of where the Hallow men are coming from and I have no intention of being caught blind sighted. I want all paths leading in or out of the old district into Mourning wood barricaded. Leave the main path open, but build up the defense there. If the Hallow men come from that direction I wont condemn the good people of Mourning wood to their fate.<br/><br/>"All paths between here and the rest of the city are to be blocked completely, again, leave the main road open. If they Hallow men hit Market or Industrial they will need our help, as much as we will need help if we get hit. We need to form up four parties. We need to guard the Mourning Wood and City paths. Thats two parties. The third will form up here, which ever area gets hit, this, the center of the old quarter, can get to either side quickly.<br/><br/>The fourth and final party will need to be quick. They will be the group moving to help the rest of the city should it come to that. If we can get a few, I'd like some of our men to move to the other gates and help defend the city. I haven't made up my mind if I should be at the main gate or stay here, but I do want to at least scout the main gate."<br/><br/>His Lieutenant shrugged.<br/><br/>"If you can talk Harris, it'd be nice if you would."<br/><br/>The man just stood there. "Fine then, lets go."<br/><br/>Harris and twenty others followed Havien to the main gate. Arriving there, Havien witnesses a sight. Ravus returning, as if a Hallow man himself.<br/><br/>"Ho Ravus! Let us help you!" Havien shouted and ran forward, grasping the man's leg and stopping the horse as it trotted into the gates. What the man said was no comfort, but Havien pushed it back. The man was hurt and needed a rest before the night truly started.<br/><br/>"Come on Ravus. You need rest, a pint of ale at least, we've some time yet before they get here yet." Havien waved a couple of the others forward, ready to help Ravus off his horse. The man truly looked a Hallow man.
