* After Iselle is unexpectedly betrothed to [[CompleteMonster Dondo]] and pledged to be married in a few days, Cazaril tries desperately to get in to assassinate Dondo rather than leave Iselle to Dondo's nonexistent mercies. When human means fail, he sneaks into an abandoned tower to attempt a death miracle, arcane "magic" which if successful will bring divine death down upon Dondo but which will also cost Cazaril his life.

* Trying to figure out how to track down Tronio, Penric and company ask Blessed Iroki to pray for guidance. He prays instead for the God to let him finish the job as quick as possible. The next morning, Tronio shows up at the Xarre estate in an attempt to arrest Penric, bringing along along all the witnesses Penric needs and putting himself close enough to Iroki for the Bastard to reclaim his demon. Des comments that Tronio was "like a chicken that brought its own pot and onions." Iroki later says he just left it up to the God, because he'd have "asked too small".
