In a village there are many prisoners and also many that have been hanged including children. Bornhald questions one of the children and it becomes clear that the villagers were hung by disguised questioners. The Lord Captain does not like that the Children's Questioners have been so violent, and says to tell the remaining villagers this will not happen again, and goes into the inn. Bornhald is seeking information on the invaders from Toman Head, but what he hears is not credible.
