By noon, Viscount Sleet's villa had been robbed clean. Scarface, following the "employer's" request, led the starving masses mightily towards Baron Abella's house.

Meanwhile, in the center of Montpellier, a spy sent by the Duke of Orleans was also leading dozens of gang members, robbing food with a large group of citizens.
As the leading gang member was rallying the starving people to raid a noble's house to the south of the city, a famished citizen loudly suggested:
"Why don't we go to Count Seyrelier's house? His estate is so large, it must have plenty of food..."
Before he could finish, someone secretly kicked him, and two gang members squeezed him to the ground as if by accident.
