I got my mom into reading the MBOTF (another convert for us) and she just finished deadhouse gates. She asked me a question and i couldn't remember since its been a coupke yeara since I read it so I figured I'd ask you fellows for help.
At the end of the book Gesler, Stormy and Truth are looking for someone on Aren way among the dead bodies. One of them comes back and Truth asks if they found the person and they say no. But then we have Mappo's internal monologue saying he knew he was lying.
Who was the person they were looking for and why?

They were looking for Duiker. Stormy and Gessler find his body but hide this from Truth.
Yesterday, upon the stair, I saw a man who wasn't there. He wasn't there again today. Oh, how I wish he'd go away.

Wasn't he already taken down by this point though? And why would they be looking for him?

No, Baruk's demons came by afterwards and took him down to restore his soul which was captured in the vial that Coltaine gave to him. Duiker helped Gesler et al escape a rebel uprising at the start of DG.

Oh ok, and they just wanted to spare Truth from the truth that he's dead?

Yes, because Truth was emotional about the whole Fall/Mass-crucifixion thing and trying to find Duiker to give him a decent burial. Stormy and Gesler were trying to spare him the extra trauma.
They end up saving the dogs.

Gotcha, my mom thanks you.
Sounds like I gotta do a re-read so I can remember all this stuff.

I am very disappointed in myself.
Mind you I did just finish reading the Kharkanas & Path to Ascendancy books for the first time a couple months ago so I haven't been totally slacking on my Malazan studies.

Damn, do I have to get a haircut and then walk through the streets of Toronto naked now?
I know it's warmed up a bit but it's still a little chilly out there

Bad news is yes.
Good news is we'll allow you to do it on Queen st so no one will really notice anything out of the ordinary.

Oh nice! My office is close to Queen street, maybe I'll take a nude jaunt over to city hall and grab a spicy sausage.
There's enough shame already in those buildings I'll fit right in.
