- Book 4 · Ch 22Ambush at the Gresson Icefall
Near the supply dump, a premature Firvulag shot kills Thongsa. The party shelters behind an ice ridge, then fires and uses Tanu psychokinesis to topple a sérac, burying the Firvulag redoubt and the supply tents.

After a storm, Basil's party traverses the icy slope above the West Col. Aronn, weakened by altitude sickness, drags Bleyn off; Basil's rope holds them and Betsy winches them up.
