'''Point of View: Elend, Breeze, Straff
Elend prepares to depart for the Well of Ascension, while Tindwyl berates him for abandoning his people. Tindwyl questions Elend's and Vin's belief in the supernatural properties of the Well of Ascension. Elend grows angry and orders Tindwyl to leave, though he agrees to deliver a package to the Synod in [[Tathingdwen]]. Spook arrives, as does Allrianne, and she convinces them to allow her to join their company, stating that Breeze ordered her to leave the city. They leave the city through the Tin Gate, stating to the guards that they are going for help and will return. A group of archers tries to intercept them outside the city but Vin fights them off. Allrianne then parts ways with them.
Breeze, Demoux, Sazed, Hammond and Clubs watch from atop the city wall as Elend's party evades Straff's army. Sazed tells Breeze that Tindwyl decided to stay, but he doesn't know why. Clubs derides the Church of the Survivor and says that he doesn't like Demoux preaching to his soldiers. Clubs also states that Sazed's beliefs are situational and inconsistent, a point that Sazed does not contend. Hammond observes there is a large amount of smoke coming from the koloss camp.
Straff, feeling ill, receives a messenger who brings news of riders escaping from the city. Straff collapses to the ground, dizzy, and tells the guard [[Grent]] to summon [[Amaranta]]. She arrives and begins preparing an antidote but Straff realizes that something is wrong, and burns tin to increase his level of alertness. Straff realizes that Amaranta was sleeping with Zane, and she says that Zane had never poisoned him, but that rather his illness was due to withdrawal from a drug she was addicting him to. Angered, Straff strangles Amaranta and prepares a haphazard antidote by mixing various herbs into boiling water, drinking it and falling unconscious.
