This gave Lem pause, but he ultimately approved since he knew Tress must have considered all other options.{{book ref|tress|6}} |

| − | Lem played a key role in Tress's escape from [[Diggen's Point]]. He visited an inn and talked to a few of his friends that he'd helped in the past. Lem had walked [[Rod (Lumar)|Rod]] home after a night of heavy drinking, he helped [[Jule]] repair his roof after a windstorm, and there were dozens of other examples of Lem's selflessness. The townspeople knew that Lem never asked for a debt to be repaid, and therefore his desire to help Tress must be extraordinary. Even though he did not explicitly ask for help, his message was understood, and [[Gremmy]], [[Sor]], [[Gret]], and [[Brick]] all agreed to help with the plan to infiltrate the ''[[Oot's Dream]]''.{{book ref|totes|7}} |
