'Good,' Ardith thought as Ulan signalled his men. She had no desire for an armed conflict, or any other type for that matter.
Ardith's plan was to use Ulan's plight to gain information -- information she desperately wished to have -- about Balban and his motives, how Ulan became Balban's agent in. While Ulan is pleading with them for help, another group comes in pursuit. Ulan flees, and some of his soldiers stay behind.
