'''Point of View: Allrianne, Elend, Straff, Sazed
 
Allrianne arrives at her father's army escorted by bandits that she used Rioting and the promise of a reward to manipulate into helping her. She confronts her father and argues that he should turn his army back to Luthadel instead of proceeding to their home dominance to improve their chances of survival.
 
Elend, Vin, and Spook break camp, confident that they have eluded Straff's scouts, though Spook does state that there is something following them, and Vin responds that it is the mysterious mist spirit.
 
Straff wakes up after being unconscious for almost three days. He issues orders to move their army back to their home dominance to give time for Zane's machinations to proceed.
 
Sazed fills metalminds in preparation for a koloss attack on Luthadel, and learns from Clubs that Straff's army has withdrawn. They discuss the dire circumstances of having to defend the city while being outnumbered by Jastes' army. Sazed tells Clubs of a religion of artists that he might be interested in, and presents him with a symbol of the [[Dadradah]] faith. Clubs says that Tindwyl is looking for Sazed so he leaves to meet with her. Sazed finds Dockson and Tindwyl discussing the deployment of their soldiers under command of Lord Penrod and city nobles. Sazed realizes that Dockson may be planning a rebellion and advises that it is not a good time, and Dockson concurs. Sazed and Tindwyl argue over why they remained in the city while having Elend and Vin leave, then they embrace each other briefly before an alarm sounds.
