Asher was forced to flee back to the outer-Forest, and was unable to capture Themba. So she is stuck in a slave trap for now. BTW, gorean slave traps can only be opened with a key. Or cut the chain and get away with the trap on your foot. Or dig out the stake and get away with the whole kaboodle. I don't think there is another option. Who knows?
(Who set the trap? Did we?)
I had an amusing encounter with what appeared to be an escaped slave. I found her naked, and apparently starving out in the game paths, and captured her. My plan was to take her back to our camp, feed and water her, and show her to Kate. However, I was taken in by her apparent mild demeanor, and didn't tie her up, or hobble her. When we arrived at camp, she took me by surprise, and escaped. Kate took off after her, and I followed, determined not to be so 'nice' this time. However, Kate and I came across better prey, and tracked down a male, and flanked him. I also sensed that the really stinky one that we had chased away a few days ago was back in the area...his odor is quite unique...almost as bad as the males of the 'Wagon Peoples'. We will take both of them in the days to come, I bet we could trade 'Fishead' for 50 arrowheads and a lot of candy.
