Hal walked over to the ponies, they had been quickly roped off in another chamber. They certainly looked warmer than they had outside and were quietly standing or sniffing the ground for any sign of grass. Presently Gaddy came over carrying two pots of melted snow, Hal untied the top rope to let him past, then went off to collect two more pots.

Gaddy put the pots on the floor and the ponies immediately took interest. The first two started drinking, taking huge gulps of water. Just as well they're big pots Gaddy thought to himself, looking in astonishment at the amount each was drinking. Hal came in, stepping over the lower rope, carrying two more pots of water. Together, they brought the ponies more water and some food. While the ponies were busy eating and drinking, Hal got two shovels, handed one to Gaddy and they proceeded to muck out the area.

That done, they tied the rope back up and went to see how the search for weapons was going. Gaddy went strait over to where Daisy was,
"Found anything to go with your sheild yet?" he said, Daisy looked up from her search and looked at Gaddy,
"No, not yet." she said,
"Mind if I join you then?"
"Of course not!" she replyed smiling. Gaddy knelt next to her and began to search for weapons himself. Hal soon came and placed himself on Gaddy's other side. A few minutes passed before a small "Ah-ha!" emitted from Gaddy, Hal looked over to him, he had made a hole going down into the pile as far as he could reach and now he was lying on his front reaching as far as he could to get something from the very bottom of his hole.
"Need some help there?" Asked Hal,
"No no! I've almost got it." As he said that, he managed to get a good grip around it's sheath and he began working it out of the tangle of metal.

He finally got it out and was able to give it a good look, the sheath was silver, except for a gold vine winding around it, Gaddy pulled it out of it's sheath, the blade itself was clean and sharp, and glittered in the light. It wasn't too long, nor was it too heavy, Gaddy gazed at it, then gave it a little swing, careful not to hit anyone.
"It's a pity I don't know how to use it properly." He said.
