The house had obviously been abandoned for sometime. The soldier led them around to the side, to an added on room.
The soldier said that orders had been given not to disturb anything until the BetterMan Knights had a chance to inspect the scene.
Sir Sonic pushed his way past and entered the room. He looked around, saw a chair with remnants of rope still attached and evidence of vomit on the floor. He used the point of his sword to lift up Sir Stud's ripped up clothes and saw traces of blood and that they had been cut with a knife.
Sir Rob, came around from the side of the house and said that he had found
a pile of straw and fresh wagon tracks. He also said that one of the wagon wheels had a large chip out of the wheel.
King Arthur said, "I'm going to take all but twenty soldiers and return to the castle, I need to talk to the family of the slain messenger. I have full faith in my Knights that you will find Sir Stud and deal with his Kidnappers. I would prefer that they be taken alive if possible, to stand trial."
The Captain formed up the soldiers and with the King leading, headed to the castle.
