- Bertilac and Orvine watch as the ship, The Trespasser, heads eastwards.
- Huey speaks to Bert, and the cook is unconvinced that Bert can actually talk to animals. But, he does admit their stew has been made with grass.
- Bert talks with Ulysses who is obsessed with being a big, strong horse. But, Bert convinces him to move the caravan back towards Krookhold.
- Lycidias asks for a priest and a child points them in the direction of a temple, the sole building made of stone in Krookhold. It's a square building with a dome on top. A lean individual opens the door, almost elf looking. Master Yiban breaks into the temple, past the priest.
- There is a dwarf, gagged and tied up against one of the walls. The priest is interrogating them. He questions them about whether sending someone to Garr is okay.
- Bertilac gets back to the centre of town and asks where Risses lived.
- The supposed priest, Hennex, and Alcott arrive. The taller of the two asks very strange questions, and boasts a lot. He asks for consent more than once. Then his healing is more like a plea, a wish, then channels power into him. He is very sketchy about which god bestows the individual with his powers.
- Hennex is wearing a long green coat and a yellow shirt. He's fascinated with other people's power.
- Hennex refers to everyone as ne'er-do-wells, learning about the town of Krookhold.
- Bertilac searches Risses house, finding little of value.
- Hennex asks Bertilac to consider all the power that Alaie has ever granted, then consider the power that the priest can impart. "Do you accept this great power?"
- Bertilac uses a divine sense on Hennex. He is a celestial.
- Lycidius heads to the tavern, The Lucky Crayfish. The bar keep, Valviun, seems keen to make a deal and claims to dislike Risses.
- Bertilac says that they will use Risses money to resupply, then return the rest to Hennex. Hennex claims to be moved.
- Bert carries Offir's body to the cart and wraps him in a bedroll.
- For 25gp, they provide 150 potions of rations for the group. They allow all the barrels to be filled with water, then two barrels of ale are bought - each covering 318 pints.
- A negotiation takes place to feed the horses properly, on top of the supplies.
- Valviun says they get a special spice in from Khazara called Dire Balrog.
- Hellex says vows are very important. He claims that if Master Yiban breaks his vow, he'd have no choice but to strike him down until he was just a spec of dust on the earth.
