Then they learn they are all to go to someplace called Juniper, a frigid port city far outside the Empire's bounds in the distant northwest corner of the map. Croaker spends 6 comfortable weeks there. After a 146-day march from Tome to Frost, Croaker is airlifted alongside Elmo and Kingpin by Whisper on her flying carpet directly to the Barrowland. They soon receive orders to march thousands of miles across the Lady's vast empire to the Barrowland in the far north. The Company men fight for every inch, and the Rebels soon resort to burning them out. The tavern is eventually swamped by a massive mob of furious Rebels. The Company men play tonk between each action. They are killed in the ambush, and several other groups of local Rebels for fall for the same trap. The uncle of the captured children– Neat–and some other Rebels arrive. An advance team of Company veterans– the physician and Annalist Croaker, the wizard Silent, Candy, Pawnbroker, Kingpin, and Otto–is embedded in Madle's tavern, waiting for local Rebels to arrive. The Black Company is garrisoned in Tome, one of only two substantial towns in Tally, the most easterly province of the Lady's Empire in the northern continent. When they turn to notify their uncle, they are captured by Goblin. The band's reputation has preceded them, and the children know the identities of some the Company men.

They see the grizzled soldiers of the Black Company approaching. Two young children are acting as lookouts for their Rebel uncle.
