The group arrives at pondergap (18:05)- - The group goes about trying to find someone who knows “something about something”. They ask a random surly young gnome who gives them directions to the Hallowells house. The group is being watched by the townsfolk because they are strangers, but that is all.

The group (45:29) minus Leona is talking with Santi Hallowell, very poorly. Leona and Hazel rejoin the group in the living room. Santi does not trust Maudit, but only lightly shows his prejudice.
