Bido, outside of the blocked off alley leading to the Devil's Nest, hears and sees that there are soldiers in town and hopes they're not there to hunt down all the chimeras. Soldiers standing guard in the area where the last of the chimeras were cut down are surprised when two of them, Loa and Dorchet, rise up apparently from the dead. Neither guard remains standing after the two chimeras finish with them. They head off into the tunnels to make their escape.
