Day 31. Week 4 begins with the party leaving Vinyaes after a short stay during which Abigaël Aidelbaum and Tudagub murdered Haldor the Alchemist. It is said the next town is 4 days away (Willowbrook is said to be only 16.4 miles away later on - ed). Maar has 2 new horses to replace those that were eaten by the .
On the road, half way though the day, the party has stopped for lunch when they are approached by 3 riders from Vinyaes. A fighter, a cleric and a wizard. They are here to arrest Tudagub for murder. Tudagub flees. The riders give chase. The party stay with Maar and the wagon.
Tudagub casts : Fall on the wizard rider, and it works. The other riders catch up but miss their attacks against Tudagub. Tudagub casts : Flee at the cleric which works. The fighter gets their sword stuck in a tree.
Vincent and Bregor go to resolve the situation. Vincent puts the sword to the fallen over wizard and asks that they talk this out. The wizard agrees. The Cleric approached Vincent & Bregor and casts on them. The wizard gets back on his horse. The wizard and cleric then ride after Tudagub.
The warrior catches up to the fleeing Tudagub and attacks him. Abigaël fires her bow at the warrior, but misses. 
Tudagub, down to 2 HP, surrenders to the riders, while casting on himself. The riders march Tudagub back to Vinyaes. Maar and the party decide to also go back to Vinyaes. On the way back Vincent wants to attack the riders, but Bregor convinces him it wouldn't be a good idea.
It is night when they group get back to Vinyaes. They go to Lord Feng's keep at the edge of town, and Tudagub is immediately imprisoned in the dungeons under the keep. The guards at the keep want to keep the party under house arrest in the keep, but Vincent insists they will be staying at the tavern. When a guard protests, Vincent slaps them hard.
