"Thank you, sir, I leave in peace," the soldier says, bowing to the old man before heading out.  And soon, the obnoxious task of tuning out Nara will be done; damn, annoying, that one.<br/><br/>The first order of business, however, is to let Maddy know what's going on, catching her on the way out.  "Maddy!  I have a lead on someone who should know where the chicken witch is; I'm heading up to the castle, but I'm not heading out 'til morning; we'll need the rest.  I suggest you stock up on supplies tonight if you want to come."  Unless the half-elf has something to say on the matter, that's the soldier's cue to get moving towards the castle.
