As Kael dreamed, the situation on Gideon's side was indeed not good.
When Morgahl and Corath arrived to look at the "beaten Gideon," they found the man unconscious on the ground. However, the tribesman they'd sent to beat Gideon was also lying fainted beside him.
Suspicious but unwilling to waste time, Morgahl called for other tribesmen. A few more men were summoned to carry the unconscious Gideon and the fallen Kethar into the carriage.
Inside the carriage, the Gideon's crew looked up in shock, their hands still bound tightly with ropes.
Sensing approaching footsteps, Toby quickly dragged the sleeping roadrunner toward the center of the carriage roof, trying to keep him from being discovered and tied up as well.
Some guards who had accompanied Kethar from Grimsbane had also been ambushed by the Stormjackal's men and were now unceremoniously loaded into the carriage like some goods, destined to become a feast for the beast.
