While Sandir recovers on bedrest, Quillathe and Griff try to lie low... but Griff can't help trying to steal back his money from the scamming Brownie at the general store, and Quillathe finds that it's very difficult to stop being the center of attention when you're used to being the grandest distraction in the room. There's a very drunk conversation between them when Quillathe plays bartender for the first time. The fernwitch, Maryiam Corg, scolds Quillathe for various reasons.

Griff and Sandir reluctantly work together to dispose of the physical evidence of the fight on the beach. Iggly tells Quillathe off for using too much force during the encounter, and the alarm system goes off; Wardens have swarmed the island in search of the missing Quillathe. The gang must make their escape to nurse their wounds elsewhere as the authorities descend on the manor, and prepare to be on the lam, unable to trust anyone but themselves.
