For the next few months, Riina would largely ignore the outside world and focus solely on the activities of Hoid and Charlie on the planet. At some stage she managed to hack into Fort's translation device allowing her to see and hear what he did. This served as an easy way for her to keep tabs on the crew of the [[Crow's Song]] and Hoid himself.{{book ref|tress|60}} Hoid speculates that it was around this time she grew worried that he might actually make good on his bet and so began work to sabotage him further.{{book ref|tress|61}} Eventually, by happenstance, both Charlie and Tress arrived on the boat and Riina was able to keep tabs on them as well.{{book ref|tress|60}}{{book ref|tress|13}} She watched Tress' journey to the midnight sea, and eventual capture by the Sorceress' midnight essence.{{book ref|tress|59}}
 
Upon arriving, Tress attempted to Barterbarter for Charlie and Riina played along, attempting to pass one of her spies off as Charlie using [[lightweaving]]. Tress was about to leave with the fake Charlie when she realized the ruse and turned back to confront Riina, who then explained the full details of Charlie's curse to Tress.{{book ref|tress|61}} While having this conversation with the pair she failed to notice the crew of the Crow's Song breaching her defences and getting just outside of her tower. This caused Riina to panic and set up her defences on the island itself leading her to not notice Tress and Charlie using her own computer to communicate to Fort and [[Salay]] about a plan to get Hoid into the tower itself and break his curse.{{book ref|tress|62}} Watching her defences fail Riina still felt that Hoid would fail since there was no way for him to enter the tower, she was mistaken however as Hoid managed to sneak into the tower whilst she turned to try and curse Tress in retribution for ruining her day. This allowed Hoid to break his curse and block Riina's curse. Following this Riina offered to let the crew leave but Tress refused and instead demanded Riina herself leave the planet for her crimes against locals there, Riina dismissed this threat until Tress ordered Hoid to help and he indicated that he would. Whilst Riina reckoned that her chances of losing was only around one-in-five she decided this was a risk too much and agreed. She had Tress and her crew leave so that they could watch her ship leave the system from the distance.{{book ref|Tress|64}}
