After this failure, Moash introduced Graves to Kaladin one evening at the [[Ornery Chull]], hoping to earn the captain's support. Graves attempted to recruit Kaladin to their cause by appealing to Kaladin's experience as a surgeon. Though hesitant at first, Kaladin eventually agreed to aid in Graves' conspiracy.{{book ref|sa2|68}} Graves developed a second plan in which Kaladin would lead Elhokar to a predetermined location where Graves himself would shoot the king with an arrow.{{book ref|sa2|68}}

 

These plans were revised when Dalinar announced his intent to march to the center of the Shattered Plains--leaving the king vulnerable for several days.{{book ref|sa2|77}} With this opening, Graves and Moash went to the [[Pinnacle]] to assassinate Elhokar directly with their Shardblades. When Kaladin confronted the pair, Graves was frustrated with Moash, who had promised that Kaladin would not interfere. Moash dispatched Kaladin easily, and the two began to argue over who would bear the responsibility of killing the incapacitated king. Kaladin stood in their way again, and Graves ordered Moash to kill his friend. When Kaladin spoke the third [[Immortal Words|Ideal]] of the [[Windrunners]], Graves fell back in shock and began laughing hysterically after claiming that the Diagram had predicted Kaladin's ascension but they had failed to interpret it correctly.{{book ref|sa2|83}}{{book ref|sa2|84}}
