This is how I see the events right now:

While the house is frantically searched, Haleth is killed outside. Sorn and Gurth follow Scyld and Linduial into the woods. The hidden door to the cellar is finally discovered, and the rescuers troop downstairs to find the outside door, and, just outside, Haleth's body.

Sorn and Gurth find Scyld and Linduial. Scyld proves his worth, Gurth's loyalties are tested. The rescuers frantically follow the tracks up into the hills.

Sorn and Gurth have their showdown, the rescuers arrive towards the end of the action, mop up the remaining threat...and from there I'm unclear.
