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, drinkingdrinks it and fallingfalls unconscious.
