So, for some reason, Party B (Moiraine, Rand, Perrin - see the end of the last book) went a couple of miles away, then nested. This makes no sense, but I've seen worse.
A gypsie rides in the camp, one of the series of messengers for Moiraine.

--------------

Rand is frustrated. Moiraine made him The Dragon Reborn, because of prophecies, but she does not tell what the prophecies are, or how to fulfill them, or how to learn how to fulfill them.
He also had a magical accident with a powerscale, so he is worried.

--------------

One f the unlockables is the three wives of Rand. One will be Min.

The party learn what the children and darklings decided in the prologue of this book, and we have a new dark-unit: invisible assassins.

--------------

Perrin is visited by Lanfear in a dream. There is this constant theme for Perrin, being the unwilling killer. Axe of hammer, which you choose.

--------------

The party is attacked by darklings.
Perrin's main concern is the gypsie woman, who by the way looks pretty safe. Maybe that pacifism is somehow magic? Perring gets into trouble for his chivalry, and here is a great moment, where the gypsie decides to break the oath and tries to stop the dark unit, grabbing it, resulting in her death, but giving the chance to Perrin to turn the tide. This is undeniably a great moment, only we need to ustilise it, at least notice it and not throw it in the trashbin.
Or there is this moment where a pack olf wolves tear appart a myrdraal. Unfortunately this is straight GoT, I'd've made the last wolf cry for its pack, not this whole tragic victory thingy, but that's just me.

During the fight Rand got away, because of the running madness-theme. He got struck by the idea of droppin a mountin on the head of the enemy, lol.

Rand still has the wound from the end of Book 2.
