Gabriel nods what king's says but he is once again voice of reason and logic; "Yes sire, but marshalling our forces will take time. As Lady Luna is on a mission and I think she would make proper replacement of your court mage until better one is found. Also we need assess what losses we faced with this brutal attack and interrogation of Duke's daughter will take time. Also protectors need to be check up to see how many of them are alive and under your command, I saw commander being killed and what I saw from throne room Malek has been in throne room and had impaled a ogre in there to the wall.<br/><br/>Also Duke Wolfwood has largest military force so we need muster our numbers and develop strategy with your commanders how we march and engage with him. It needs a very talented logistic captain working together with brilliant strategic mind to lead your army. So what I am advicing is not to rush on this matter king, we now have face to our enemy and so we know how prepare to make sure the enemy is crushed without crippling ourselves in the process and leave us weakened after this civil war."<br/><br/>Gabriel escorts the king to scene where is duke's daughter and now deceased duke's son. Check also how roguish champion is doing in there. Also he tries think safe place for the king where to wait until all combats are over or where find the protectors, they may be scum but so far they appeared one way or another loyal scum. Also they are probably best figthers in king's service besides himself. Also he is self-concious about the time as he needs reach the tavern before leaders of the rebels do and prepare ambush there much as they can.<br/><br/>Once matters are settled in the castle briefly and fast as possible Gabriel departs to the meeting location on haste, with or without roguish champion or another nameless champion. He picks a room in first floor and ligths up candle and leaves a door little open so it shows the candle light to anyone who comes to main lobby of the tavern but not to outside.
