Omaru helps the fishermen spot fish. Joe explains his predicament to Shen. Joe is let go and given 1 silver. Joe heads to the inn. Joe stands outside the bar and dances while asking for help in his language. Omaru sees Morituri entering the city with a mass of people and a bag of mithril. Omaru and Morituri pass Joe outside. Jessica is inside, tries to gain a sample of the ore. Shen takes the ore and leaves. Jessica is told by the second-in-charge Dremal that she can speak with the prospectors tomorrow. A large celebration is thrown. Dan does not drink. Omaru drinks milk. Jenseb enters the tavern and tells Morituri about the madman. Morituri begins to pack. Morituri and Jenseb plan to leave in the morning.
Around 8pm the party hears loud noises from outside the inn. The party goes to the west. Screams are heard from the lake and fires sprout up. Omaru drops over the side and scouts to find many giant, dragon-like creatures slaughtering everyone outside. Jenseb pulls fleeing people over the fence with his rope. Morituri goes north while the attackers' leader with electricity flowing over his skin speaks. He says the town has been warned once before and the city is allowed 30 minutes to leave or everyone remaining will die. The party decides to stay and fight.
After 30 minutes, the 500 attackers outside the city surround the north, west, and south sides. They stay out of arrow range. The attackers begin to teleport inside the city, and some of the attackers fly overhead breathing fire onto the buildings. The party immediately decides to leave through the city. The party ends up fighting three times: 2 duni askai, 2 askai, and 3 askai. The party jump out the southeast side of the town and leave via the road to Sansun.
