They evolve a plan which creates a couple of distractions for the Nixon outriders and therefore dodge most of the clan's response, but still face a skirmish with some 20 or so Nixons. Fergus leads a charge to deal with the main body while Gaius cuts off a group going for reinforcements using his Raven form and gores them with his Bull form. The party dodge most of the illusions at Horsingas, fight off the remaining grogs, and prevent the maddened oldest member of the covenant from dropping the roof on their heads - but are unable to prevent him inundating the covenant with the Tyne. They recover what they can, including a confused young child, and get out before everything floods.*
