Rand realizes the note he received about where to find Torval and Gedwyn must be a trap but he isn't worried. Min tries to discourage him from going but Nynaeve and Lan will be helping Rand. After Rand has been gone for a while, Min leaves the room to find Cadsuane so she can help Rand. They reach the roof but as they move across the slates Lan's boot slips. Rand catches his wrist, but Lan is too heavy and they both slide off the roof to the alley below.
