When the party awakens the next morning, they discover that Johann has left the Citidel overnight with Kel and Kel in their Autowagon. Duman and Gharsis have left with them.
Duman did leave the repaired Autowagon that they found on the last leg of their journey, so the party still has it. They immediately start discussing how to get new travelling companions for their journey into the Grasslands, as things will only get more dangerous from here.
