Elscene awakens in the morning, feel much healthier and less enervated than she had the previous evening. Sitting up, she notices people going about their morning rituals in their slightly cramped space, and notes Duras kneeling to his prayers.

Deciding that no one is going anywhere anytime soon, she opens her pack and begins her morning meal. As she eats, she wonders how the wall will be eliminated, for the riddle remains meaningless to her. She spares a moment to mourn for Anavren, whom she assumes died during the night, since he is not in evidence.

Once she has finished eating, she will pick up her bow, and spend half an hour waxing the string and working the wood, having dropped it in the dirt at the beginning of the fight and then being unable to properly care for it the night before.

When the others begin to armor themselves, she rises and dons what little, and apparently rather unprotective, armor she has, wondering if someone has learned how to pass the wall.
