Silver Princess #10 6/1/2215 - leaving the Palace - 5 CP

Rest overnight in lovers-statue cave with dead cultist-bandits, attempts to treat Saya's wound are unsuccessful.
Explore the caves, open rusty portcullis and recover 18gp from shallow pool. Hear approaching footsteps - turns out to be six Wolf Soldiers under a Wolf Knight. 'Ambush' pimply rearguard, Rollo pinning him to floor, but Laxus negotiates sucessfully with the Wolf Knight, persuading her that it must have been some other Nimothan who murdered Ser Kallegar, D'hmis' cousin. Tells her the Ruby has been taken by Cathrandamus, and he's heading for Nith. Follow them at a distance out of the dungeon; save the rearguard from the mad murderer Travis, they kill Travis & Ulfdin takes his suit of heavy mail armour (+6/-3).
Finally exit the Palace ruins.
