With the party splitting to investigate the happenings of Havnok, Pinky and Moss return to the Bread Wall. There they meet a doctor from The Watchers who shared with them some information. Pinky was approached by some angry townspeople about Vigil's taking children and she was able to deceive them into thinking she isn't a Vigil. Moss and Pinky then find a way into the undercity. As they are exploring they come across a Large Spider oozing black shadow from it's mandibled mouth which chases them back to their exit. Pinky goes for an attack at the top of a ladder and the spider is able to get a bite on her knocking her out with one bite. After the sickening thud of her body hitting the ground, moss makes the split second decision to heal Pinky. Pinky opens her eyes but her limbs don't respond as the venom of the spider has paralyzed her. With that realization, moss rips a patch off his cloak, falls beside Pinky, and plants the patch by her. A window forms and they slip out of the spider's clutches. Moss and Pinky ride down a rapid of drainage and exit out of the city from a sewer pipe. Going back to the rest of the group as they have gathered together at the outpost, Alia confronts Ren about his beliefs. After trying to help her see his point of veiw, Ren and Alia join Barren as they ask Opal what is going on. She explains her origins as a descendent of the Hero of Lillies who has been chosen to take up the hero's mantle. This burden along with the fear of not being able to be her own person pushed her to strike out and join the Vigil's. Finally Moss and Pinky return and the group gets ready to rest.
