Farid
- Farid waits for Dustfinger to return, but he doesn't; Mo and Elinor try to convince him to untie them.
- Finally Farid goes to look for Dustfinger in the village (after all, back in his own story, that's what the thieves used him for—scouting and blending in), but he unties Mo and Elinor first, and takes Gwin with him.
- Mo gives Farid a note to give to Meggie if he finds her. It's written in Elvish from The Lord of the Rings so that no one else can read it, and it tells her not to worry, he is coming for her.
