Nigel, Oswald, Brizanthimus, and Xarth work their way through the tunnels, eventually reaching an abandoned cellar. After tearing apart a makeshift wall and up a set of narrow stairs they come out in the kitchens within the Lord Marshall of Bornheim's residence.

It causes a rather large commotion until the staff straightens out what has happened. They speak with Baron Lange and a Karashite priest called the Dawnwatcher. Oswald and Nigel accept the Dawnwatcher's invitation to visit the Temple of Luminous Kaskade, convincing Briz to come along with them. Xarth prefers to go speak with Merrick Stonearm about what is happening on the north wall.

Belenus goes in search of Mirwen in the Medaille District. He finds her with others that fought the burning Reavers. The battle has passes and they sit around drinking and talking about rebuilding and repairing what was damaged. It is a forced moment as the city remains besieged. Belenus speaks privately with Mirwen about the plans of Lord Brandr.

Mirwen has known several people that have gone over the north wall to scout the surrounding land. The demons seem disorganized attacking just about anything that moves. Most of the villages have been destroyed, with only a few towns still remaining. The exception is the village of Kernwerk, which has not yet been attacked. Several scouts have seen a mercenary band operating around the outskirts of the woods fighting the demons. Nobody has managed to make contact with them.

She plans to go over the wall and speak with these mercenaries to see if they can help shield refugees fleeing to the north. Belenus says he plans to travel to Kernwerk and see if the stonemasons there can be talked into helping the city. He knows they have some sort of powerful connection to the stone and it is possible they could widen the passages under the ridge south of the city. Mirwen wants Bel to be careful, there is something off-kilter about that village.
