[ He gives a dismissive look towards the healer as he keeps at what he's doing. ] Think you're going to gather all the herbs you need on your own? As much as I'd like to give orders to my men to do just that so I don't have to, it won't be happening. [ No needs to get to much into the details why. Who can't put the pieces together, anyway?

[ Either of them. Soldiers find reason to desert. Mages find reason to run. Just more trouble, more wasted time to gather them all back for judgement. Remove the head from the shoulders if they want to be free of this damn war, because it isn't going to be coming any time soon.
He lifts his head up. His jaw sets. There is muttering under his breath (should have kept her phylactery) before he goes back to adding to the pile that he has. Wouldn't have mattered. Those that decided to escape the tower were smart enough to destroy the phlactery area first. ]
