You step over the dead dogs just as their handler, a scrawny-faced clansman dressed in a tattered denim jacket and jeans, comes running towards you wielding a crowbar. He is calling to his dogs by name and quickly you realize that he has not seen you standing in the shadows. Rather than fight him, you decide to backtrack and attempt to find your partner.
Knott is crouched in hiding beneath an archway further south. He sees you as you pass and attracts your attention by whispering your name. The discovery of the dead dogs has sent the clansmen into a frenzy of activity and immediately they launch a manhunt. Fortunately, they start by searching some distance away from you, enabling the two of you to slip away unseen.
