Notable Events[]
Charity leads Gareth and Carpenter to the house. The inside is covered in prayer marks and the phrase "There's them that lead, and them that chase" written over and over on the walls. It is here that Gareth transforms into the Elk of Birch and Bone, and is hunted and killed by the Snare-Dogs.[1]
Charity and Carpenter flee onto the roof of the structure to escape. It is up there that Carpenter unravels Charity's lie. Charity jumps from the roof and taunts Carpenter, telling her to walk into the Chapel and participate in the hunt.[1]
Carpenter uses her copy of the Silt Verses to set the building on fire and jumps over Charity, hurting her ankle and making it to safety.[1]
Trivia[]
- The injury that Carpenter receives to her ankle here follows her for the rest of the show, and she is described as walking with a limp from here on.
