Morgaine peppers Coggin with questions about home, attempting to both distract him and ease her own mind.  After feasting on the burned chickens from Coggin’s carts, they bed down early, keeping the standard watches.  In the morning, the party decides to travel along the road to make gains towards Otenazu.  As they near the road, once again Morgaine passes out and slumps to the ground.  Hooves approach on the road from the south.</blockquote>
