While passing through Vinyaes, a few of the local guards tell them they are not welcome in the city and to leave. Vincent acquiesces, but not before slapping the leader of the group unconscious. They stop next in Willow Brook. Tudagub seeks Jonathon and finds him drunk, unappreciative and insulting. Concerned they have been drinking his money away, he and Vincent both confront Johnathon and find that he had actually been paying for labour with the money, but also thought it important to use it to raise local morale.
