Öln finally wakes up after having slept through most of the day, and begins working the dagu intestines into a twine-based leash for the one that he captured.
Once he finishes, he leaves the cave to get a drink from the lake.
The dagu is awake and looks hungry and thirsty, and also is seemingly upset by its new enclosure.
Öln goes down and grabs a drink of water, and also fills up his new waterskin.
Bayarmaa checks her new surroundings, walking in looser and looser concentric circles for about 700 feet in either direction before moving back toward the center.
Bayarmaa finds that she had arrived in a loose forest. As she travelled more eastward, she found that she was in the grassy foothills. As she travelled more westward, she found herself in the low-lying thicker forest.
In the area, she saw atii, shendama, and tegacha berries, ebana fruits, and some eikai grazing on the plains.
Blatsa investigates the strange plant, approaching it slowly and touching it gently, ready to pull his hand back as soon as something bad happened.
The plant appears to do nothing on approach. as he touches it, he realizes that the plant is covered with a sticky resinous fluid. As he pulls back, a string of the fluid traces back from his hand to the "plant."
