=== Chapter 13 ===
Wayne enters the temple of the common man, basically a pub with altars and people praying. The "deity" is Breeze, so the worship ritual revolves around drinking. Normally, the people there are drinking and happy, but now they are morose and desperate. Wayne goes around changing everyone's drink to cheer them up, adding soda water, sugar, lime, etc. and he happens upon MeLaan.
Wax and Marasi have arrived, interrupting Wayne and MeLaan's belching contest. MeLaan warns that she is not great at impersonating, but Paalm is one of the best. Wax wants to know how to kill her, but MeLaan wants to help her because there are so few kandra left. The best way to neutralize her would be to pull her spike out, making her a [[mistwraith]]. (She has deliberately removed one spike so Harmony can't control her.) MeLaan gives them a needle and syringe with a substance that will cause a kandra to lose shape and become immobilized if injected with it. Unfortunately, it would kill a human, so Wax has to be sure before he can use it. MeLaan tells more about Paalm: she was the personal kandra of the [[Rashek|Lord Ruler]] and always out on missions, even perhaps imitating [[Inquisitors]]. She probably has special knowledge about Feruchemy and Allomancy. Marasi and MeLaan head to the precinct, and Wax orders Wayne back the governor's mansion.
