After being turned down by Royale and an unsuccessful jail break, Winry joined Rayland in the dungeon below King Steppengard's castle in Bresk. There, they learned that Ragesians were torturing prisoners and healing their wounds, a tactic used by the Inquisitor in the Sunken Prison. Awaiting their turn, Rayland and Winry were able to speak with Hrumbrand and Jinnis Bremman. Hrumbrand was clearly insane, so he didn't talk much. But Jinnis gave some insight to help Rayland and Winry escape.
While their friends were behind bars, Jack, Bryn and Myetharia arrived in Gallo's Fend. There, they met Lord Michael Gallo himself, and were invited to meet with him after they had rested. Following Rodger, their assigned footman, the friends were taken to a nearby home, where they could rest. However, knowing their friends might be suffering made the trio restless, and so they hit the town for some drinks and to give a performance, before what would prove to be a pivotal meeting with Gallo the following morning.
