The party returns to the cabin exactly 24 hours after they were pulled into the spirit world. The surviving moonshiner fled with the bodies of his comrades and the party decided to track him into the snow. His trail leads them to an indian encampment in a forested valley.

They make contact with a Brule elder and his sons and are invited to sit around their fire. After smoking the pipe with this family, the party finds that they can speak and understand the Lakota language perfectly. They then trade stories with the Indians and are given directions to find the Blackfoot chief’s settlement.
