| - Gruntle, Harllo, and Stonny Menackis bring Keruli's wagon over a dilapidated ford, Harllo and Stonny having had to push after betting with Gruntle that Bauchelain's massive wagon would sink while crossing. The two go to clean themselves up, and Gruntle sees a friend of his, Buke, getting hired by Bauchelain. He remembers when Buke lost his family to a tenement fire and has since taken to guarding poor merchants' caravans in an attempt to die nobly. Gruntle laments that joining with Bauchelain will only make Buke a witness to violence and death, not the victim. Gruntle invites Buke over for tea.

| - Gruntle, Harllo, and Stonny Menackis bring Keruli's wagon over a dilapidated ford, Harllo and Stonny having had to push after betting with Gruntle that Bauchelain's massive wagon would sink while crossing. The two go to clean themselves up, and Gruntle sees a friend of his, Buke, getting hired by Bauchelain. He remembers when Buke lost his family to a tenement fire and has since taken to guarding poor merchants' caravans in an attempt to die nobly. Gruntle laments that joining with Bauchelain will only make Buke a witness to violence and death, not the victim. Gruntle invites Buke over for tea. Buke speaks about a series of grisly murders in Darujhistan that attracted the attention of the T'orrud Cabal, who, in their inexplicable fear, hired the Assassins' Guild. Shortly after Bauchelain and Korbal Broach left the city, the murders stopped. Buke is convinced that Korbal Broach is the murderer. Gruntle realizes that Buke intends to try killing Korbal Broach, or die in the attempt. He tries to convince him to send word to the assassin's guild, but doesn't have much luck. Stonny and Harllo return, and Stonny confronts Buke, who leaves when she mocks his eagerness to step into dangerous scenarios. Gruntle thinks Stonny only says these things because she cares for him.
