	[[Yang Chao]] and Esme went to inspect the colossus and [[Esme Harrington\|Esme]] climbed to the ~~beasts~~ back as [[Yang Chao]] returned to the campsite to sleep in the half-tent next to the passed out [[Maxwell Maddox\|Max]].

	As most slept, [[Vasker Raiden\|Vasker]] paced and kept watch until the gray dawn began to show through the clouds and fog. Pai Pai whistled from his mid-way outpost and [[Vasker Raiden\|Vasker]] awoke the party. Two dark figures approached as [[Vasker Raiden\|Vasker]] and Moonch marched out to meet them. The two attacked and combat ensued while [[Maxwell Maddox\|Max]] tried to mount up and ride into combat amid swordplay and shouts from the soldiers' tent and raining fire arrows. A shout, "Feeble Templar! Following your shrouded emperor has brought you only death!" pierced the fog from the far side of the camp as Yang stopped Max, urging him to lie low in his heavily injured condition. [[Maxwell Maddox\|Max]] finally complied and hid under a cloth cot and table after having flashbacks.

	From the attackers and the burning tent a woman, to whom [[Vasker Raiden\|Vasker]] referred as "sister", walked through the thinning fog and entranced [[Brigett]] for a moment before [[Brigett]] came to her senses and attacked the attractive dark haired lass, nearly losing her arm to a delicate, yet devastating counter attack. [[Yang Chao]] and [[Maxwell Maddox\|Max]] watched while [[Yang Chao]] toyed with throwing potions into the fray and [[Esme Harrington\|Esme]] tried to retrieve the [[Eye of the Mountain]].

	After joining the Imperial soldiers at their fires for food, the outlanders are left to themselves at one fire while Vasker joined Peeyong and his men. Max drifted into the darkness to check on Yang while Teernan began playing a loud and distracting tune. As Esme approached the soldiers' fire, Vasker escalated tensions calling into question Peeyong's right to hold command over the group. This escalation ~~let~~ do combat in which Max was twice speared by a darted guard in Peeyong's tent where Yang was bound and gagged. Also, Brigett cleaved two imperial soldiers and the Templar with Durl's Axe in a berserker frenzy while Vasker jockied for command of the unsure soldiers in the fog.
