The king watched him intently but nod his head a bit at the reply he received, seeming to take Gabriel's words very seriously. "I admit that it would be good to get the witnesses fast but it cannot be helped in this instance I suppose. Very well, I believe the leader of the Knights and this Dain will do, I will trust in your judgement. Its only to ascertain that the enemy cant just win this all simply by killing me. Hopefully it will not get that far, but i'd rather have a laugh from the grave than see it all fall apart because of my own carelessness some night. Nations have fallen with their leaders in the past."<br/><br/>He nod his head silently, then getting ready to head on out with Gabriel to meet with Dain and the Knights Commander. The ride out of town to head over to the barnhouse at the village at the close proximity of the town was met with no real concerns, the soldiers trusting the Tactician to know what he was doing it seemed.<br/><br/>Upon arrival however, it was all quiet. Dain was silent in the saddle, looking around. This village was abandoned before, when the land was turning harder to farm, and the people mostly moved to the town. The little stream past it had dried, leaving it a quiet ghost-town. Only now there was a silence that surpassed a normal, natural one. Not even a wind blowing.
