Fleeing from janissaries, the party leaves Menedék a final time and sets off in the general direction of Zipser. Along the way, they come across an old witch in a hut who offers them what they desire most in life. Afterwards, they find a ruined cottage and rest for a week. Eventually, the party arrives in a semi-abandoned village, where they’re given news of the Habsburg soldiers and learn of a shortcut to Zipser.
