Kaelan heads towards the temple. On the plaza, there is a large group of soldiers standing in line, with a figure that seems to be the leader at the front facing the temple entrance. Three men stand just outside the doors and are shouting at the leader. It seems that the leader has a slim body.
Inser heads to the blacksmith and trades his daggers along with f10 for two new daggers. He gets 10 copper coins with holes in them for change.
Trendam is meditating when a man runs through the area he is in and trips over him. The person, who seems to be about 25 and has messy brown hair restrained by a headband, curses loudly and spins to look at Trendam.

Mier pays f40 for their help and sends them off. He then returns to the market. The outsider merchants didn't arrive here due to the incident at the ridge, so there isn't any rock available. The shopowners of the village are all talking about the couple caravans stranded at the ridge. Eavesdropping, Mier hears that they probably will try again in maybe three days.
