"Sir, let me, it could be a trap," the woman said much more quietly, coming to take it from her leader. Plastered together in the narrow lee of the boulder, Brin nodded. Hawkeye leaned out just enough to shoot the Damian in possession of the balloon in the shoulder. It fell and broke, splashing them both liberally with molten sugar, which boils hotter is stickier than almost anything, possibly excluding tar. The Sar fainted, but his subordinate screamed until the Oakenling shot her again.

The wait for the last pair of Damians took longer than Brin had feared, despite the fact that they'd been running, gaining ground. Now the bloodborn were tracking, stalking slowly, yet oddly still talking to each other, instead of silent. "My Sar, I don't believe they're down here. We've seen no sign that they descended, and they can't have used the stair-step formation we did; it's on the other side. The Witch lied." "Quite possibly," the commander was admitting, when he found the balloon.

"I won't melt," Brin said, and then, kneeling beside a small pool, she filled a rubber balloon with water, stuffed a tube inside, and knotted it closed. "However, the Damians might think they're going to." The Witch left the water balloon in plain sight, a little to the side of the path. "In the shadow of that big boulder looks like a good place to lie in wait. My intuition is telling me... somehow, I don't think they're all that far behind us. Do you?" "Not far enough," Hawkeye concurred.

In that fashion, the fugitives reached the bottom of the gully, which turned out to be both narrower and less flat than they'd hoped, yet always presented at least one reasonable path to follow among the stony outcroppings. Neither Brin nor Hawkeye were up to running again, but they walked briskly and made surprisingly good time. Soon a rill of stream water burbled beside them. "This is about to become a creek bed, and not too far distant from here, I think," the Oakenling warned the Witch.

When her companion joined her on the first ledge, bringing the rope she'd just been hanging from with him, the High Mistress asked, "Well? Did you pitch him into the ravine also?" "No," the Oakenling replied, golden eyes bright, "I used his own cord to hoist him pretty high into an evergreen. I doubt his comrades will find him immediately." "So, what now?" Brin asked. "I anchor the line, while you descend to the next place wide enough to stand on, and then we repeat it," Hawkeye said logically.
