On July 4th, the mercenary army stopped at Bauzanum. It was obvious from studying the ground that a large number of wagons had come to this point from several directions and then proceeded west. Bauzanum itself was completely deserted. A small cavalry detachment of five men rode west searching for the wagons and people.

After about five miles, they were stopped by a row of huge boulders stretched across the road. They heard shouting above them. They looked up and saw a cloud of rocks coming down from the heights above. Horses and men were hit and dropped on the road dead or seriously injured. One rider quickly turned his horse and raced back down the road. A rock had hit his shoulder and his arm hung limply at his side. Each mile he rode, the pain grew more intense. Unable to sit up any longer, he lay on the horse’s neck. By the time he got back to Bauzanum, he fell to the ground barely conscious.

His comrades could see the external damage, but not the ripped muscles and torn tendons inside. He did manage to tell them what happened, so Aze, Lugius, and Haggith were informed of what awaited them if they pursued the Raeti. They opted to continue on to Trento.
