Rust's watch through the rest of the night isn't uneventful; he keeps catching glimpses of movement out of the corner of his eye, and the startled cries of animals somewhere off in the distance, to the north. But nothing comes to visit directly while they wait or during the next morning's travel.

They reach the fork in the river and Rust does his thorough patrol around it just before the end of Morning 024, putting them in square VII.S.7. The other branch of the river that joins it here nearly doubles its output; it looks a lot safer to cross back the way they came rather than here or downriver. Otherwise, everything looks safe and quiet enough.
