Ok, I’m due a re-read! But the Loveless is basically located in the Waistrails (Wasteland). I just wasn’t aware of it’s proper name.

I haven’t re-read it but I though our characters were rowed out to the Waistrals and imprisoned there, not in the Lowvess (Loveless) Imperial Penance Dungeon.
I also don’t recall Lemmy persuading the staff to let the resident surgeon see Owen, but that makes sense, so that Owen can recover.

@Quint The chapter seemed to skip from the point where our characters were led out of the workhouse cells by Fassogen and Roddy. Fassogen seems to have disappeared, and although Roddy was upset about having had to hand over his prisoners to Fassogen, he seemed to have been meticulous in carrying out whatever orders he had been given to transport our characters to the Waistrals.

@falconius Please clarify, because my understanding was that Fassogen is not present in this chapter, but now I’m thinking about it, was the four-armed creature rowing them to the Waistrals, and who reappears at the end in the subterreanen work pit, actually Fassogen?

@Falconius Ohhh, it didn’t read that way. You left too much up to the reader’s imagination. I got the distinct impression that Owen had his arms removed and refitted with zombie arms, lol. Oh well. I guess there were no permanent effects.

Owen has new zombie arms! Was Rocky expecting that?

This chapter moves things along by a few months but our characters are captives, and merely observers, forced to bear witness to the prison they find themselves in, and at the mercy of their captors. While, they are led from the workhouse beneath Vereign, along the canals and rivers, to the Loveless, and eventually bound into a subterranean chain gang, we see their sense of hopelessness intensify, to a point where they look upon the master slaver’s monstrous form, and can only think that all their nightmares have become a reality. This chapter sets up an act of only more monstrous and undefined things to come, which will take our characters further into despair. However, while all this is happening, there seems a glimmer of hope in the comradship they are building, and the strength that gives to their spirit may just be enough for them to hope for a way out.
