==Dancer's Lament==
An escort of twenty Sword-Dancers brought Chulalorn's Askan emissary to Li Heng to negotiate with the Protectress Shalmanat. When hostilities erupted between Li Heng and Itko Kan, the Dancers were confined to their quarters as hostages.Dancer's Lament, Chapter 1, UK PB p.76/77Dancer's Lament, Chapter 4, UK PB p.135
After word reached their captain, Hallens, of a Kanese push to take Li Heng, the Sword-Dancers broke out of the compound. During the escape, Gisel and her fellow Dancer, Iko, were ordered by Hallens to climb a building with the help of knotted ropes lowered by Dancers already on top. Gisel presumably made it to the top but no further mention was made of her by name.Dancer's Lament, Chapter 15, UK PB p.375/376
