"I'm not so sure, there may be more." Boris waits a couple of seconds before continuing. "I think I should stay up here on watch for the night. Make sure that was the only one."

We... don't have much, but what we do have is yours, lords. I swear on my father's grave, far away as it may be, Mścisław says sincerely. He then falls silent as the Watchman before him appears to discuss something with his collague through that strange device.

"Do you want some back-up?" Adir asks through the earpiece, putting Mscislaw on hold for a moment.

[Field]

Mścisław rubs the back of his head. It's not a comfortable topic for him, but since the saviour of his village wants to know...
Well, he left our village to become a soldier. Later on we heard he'd killed a noble and got hanged for it. Our poor mother didn't take that well.
