After the stop, Adolin left the tower and met the expedition at the Oathgate for the Shattered Plains. He oversaw the workers packing the last of his armor and weapons on [[Gallant]] who will serve him this trip. Adolin had to talk to the Ryshadium and gave him some fruit before he allowed the workers to load him. When [[Godeke]] asked how many swords Adolin needed, he explained you couldn't have enough as different situations required a different sword. He then proceeded to show off every type he was with him.After Godeke hiked off, [[Zu]] joked that Adolin almost liked not being able to use a Shardblade and showed off hers. Adolin than mused that the shape adjusting abilities of the sword explained why most of the dead blades had such weird shapes. After finishing his equipment, Adolin checked on his man, all chosen for their levelheadedness. The [[Stump]] was the last of the Radiants to arrive, and Adolin headed to the people seeing off the expedition. He watches as Jasnah supervised a last soulcasting exercise by the Lightweavers. When ready, Dalinar gave a short speech wishing the expedition a good trip into shadesmar, followed by words from Jasnah and Taravangian. The expedition entered the Oathgate building and Adolin lingered last to have a conversation with his father.{{book ref|sa4|21}}
 
Dalinar started the conversation by thanking Adolin for taking care of Gallant. They talk took a turn when they disagreed on whether Dalinar was disappointment in Adolin or not. Dalinar wanted his son to become the best man he could be, while Adolin wants to be his own person without being defined by his father. When Dalinar hinted at Adolin's murder of Sadeas, Adolin though he had at least not burned his own wife to death. Adolin realized this was the cause of his feelings for his father, who he couldn't forgive. Despite their diverging views on morality, Dalinar expressed his confidence in Adolin to succeed with the mission. He then entered the control building where Shallan moved them to Shadesmar.{{book ref|sa4|21}}
