Our protagonists find themselves in a difficult situation.  They return to the village where Garant is recovering.  They are now out of supplies, with Jesyk and Greusch suffering the effects most acutely.  The villagers have no food to spare.  To make matters worse a group of Wretched, presumably out looking for them, is sighted.  The scouts gather up their equipment and leave the village, only to find that the Wretched seem to be well organised and numerous and have groups searching in all directions.  Temurian decides their only chance is to break through the cordon and escape west.
