An enormous slime-creature has evidently hauled itself up out of the river and is oozing its way onto the plaza. The slime-creature has already crushed one of the net-drying frames that the fishermen of Cormondal leave on the ghats. One old fisherman stands shouting obscenties at the blob (Annika and Growling Ape recognise him as the irascible Grandfather Wen). Washerwomen flee from it, baskets of washing scattered everywhere. One trips and falls just feet from the slime creature.There is a solitary Guard of Unswerving Vigilance outside the narvinda, placed there to uphold the Vashti's house arrest. He stands catching flies rather than doing anything useful.</blockquote>
