Felling night, the eighth day of the week finds six men at the Waystone Inn. Kote listens to Cob telling a story about Taborlin, the great, and his run-in with the insidious Chandrian, interjecting once to speak about a Tinker’s debt in verse. This story bears the first mentions of the signs that precede the Chandrian, specifically blue fire. It also speaks of Taborlin’s prowess at naming. The story is never finished as the five at the table fall to bickering over the details before being interrupted by the arrival of an injured Carter carrying his attacker, a Scraeling, in a bundle with him. Carter reveals that he was attacked on the road to Baedn-Bryt leaving Nelly, his horse, for dead. Kote proves the creature to be a demon by pressing a piece of iron into its side producing a sharp crackling sound. Later, they bring the dead Scraeling to a priest with Kote watching over them to make sure it is disposed of properly.
Bast, Kote’s student, brings him dinner once the latter has retired to his rooms. They speak about Bast playing truant and how much of a danger the Scrael truly is to the defenseless community of farmers that made up the town. Kote keeps in his room a thrice locked chest made from roah, a rare and heavy wood more than worth its weight gold. It is sealed once with a lock of iron, another of copper, and the last with a lock that could not be seen. Over the course of the next day, there are mentions of the Penitent King and his troubles with rebels in Resavek. The warring brought with it the chances of a third tax in an already bleak time which could break some of the less fortunate families in town. The roads were growing dangerous with roving bands of deserting soldiers who robbed travelers and merchants.
