The rest of the day passes uneventfully. From time to time small groups of people showing signs of blood veil are brought to the Hostel by Grey Maidens, but nobody apart from the Grey Maidens leaves again.
As night falls you meet up with Eries Yelloweyes again, in an alleyway near where she sets out her stall at daytime. A hooded figure accompanies her.
"This is Red," she says, "He's volunteered to help you."
Red gives a nod. You see a ratty snout beneath the hood.
"I's run the Shingles all me life," he says. "Ain't nothin' to teach me 'bout climbin'."
"Got some of my people to scout the Undercity for you too," says Eries. "Ent no way into that building from beneath, 's completely sealed, no connections to the Undercity."
