Perrin wakes up, weak and tired, but healed from the brink of death. He senses that Faile is hiding something from him, and eventually drags out of her that Loial and Gaul have gone to re-lock the Waygate against his explicit wishes. Suddenly a cry of “Trollocs!” goes up outside the inn. Although Faile manages to convince Perrin not to go charging off into battle, he does go over-see it. The defenses that have gone up up around Emond's field over the last few weeks manage to hold against what we find is a test. Essentially a probe, to learn how Emond's Field might defend itself. More is coming, and there doesn't seem to be anyway out of the darkness. WoTSpoilers is a weekly book discussion podcast.
