Duncan drives away the villagers but offers to serve Ser Eustace one last time by attempting a parlay. Ser Eustace accuses Lady Rohanne of burning down Wat's Wood, which she denies. Duncan prevents combat by revealing Egg's true identity to Lady Rohanne and claims he, rather than Ser Bennis, injured her worker. To answer Ser Eustace's charge that she burned down the woods, Lady Rohanne must still demand a trial by combat - Ser Duncan versus Ser Lucas.
