He smirked, before shrugging with his wings. "Not so much strength, but I do know a bit about making magic items behave. And thank you for informing me of their fear of magic, I need to start doing educational classes for the children. Reading, writing, math and magic."<br/><br/>He had put Talia on the task of using some funds to hunt down threats to his kingdom, so the first thing he did upon hearing that someone was making HIS people vanish was head down to her office. All the advisors had offices in the castle now, rather than spread out among a half dozen 'temporary' buildings. He knocked on the door, waited a moment to let her finish hiding the reports he 'didn't know about' and then walked in. "Talia, what do you know about these rumors of my people vanishing?"<br/><br/>He had already issued requests for Sak'bas, Sena, Tina and Korima to join him, but he wanted to know more about the rumors before he picked between Talia and Akiros. Once she gave him her answer, he told her she was on the expedition team, and they were leaving in an hour to go horror hunting.<br/><br/>The destination was somewhere west of town, but thanks to the actions of Jubilost, they knew of a few problem areas, and he planned to hit all of them. So he directed them to the south west, and then west past Beladame's lair.<br/><br/>(Route is to h6, g5, h4, g3, h2, g1, f2, e1, e3, e5, then back to town)
