abstract	Tavore is standing on the marshaling grounds of Aren. The first legion to be arrayed, the 8th commanded by Fist Gamet, some four thousand soldiers, is in complete chaos and disorder. The other two Fists, Tene Baralta and Blistig, and the mages Nil and Nether are present too. Cuttle and Strings approach the Adjunct and Fist Gamet and ask permission to bring order to the chaotic 8th legion. Cuttle asks the Adjunct and the Fist to remove themselves some distance away, then asks String to draw him a line. The two set Moranth munitions into the cobbles at the edges of the grounds, and explode them, shocking the entire legion into silence. Cuttle tells them to assemble to the line drawn by Strings and promises to throw a Sharper if he isn't obeyed. Slowly the entire legion takes shape and before long, is assembled in tight even ranks. About to dismiss Gamet's legion, the Adjunct notices a small child standing where she had first stood, holding a human longbone. The child, named Grub, is collected by Captain Keneb who apologizes. But the damage has been done. The event has been recognized as an evil omen, one the means that a child leads the army to their death, the leg bone signifying their march under the curse of the desert sun. The army now effectively sees itself as dead due to the omen. Strings gathers a few senior Sergeants and Corporals around him and relates a tale of Admiral Nok to hammer home how not to deal with a bad omen by fighting it. He tells his listeners that to overcome it one has to 'swallow it whole' and suggests a visit to the local cemetery. The Adjunct meets the Fists and orders them to keep their soldiers in the barracks and ban alcohol and drugs. She also asks them to warn their soldiers that she would personally be visiting them. The Fists meet in private and Gamet tells them that if in two days time, the Adjunct does not deem the army worthy to march, she will make a final decision.
