Jennsen and some of the pristinely ungifted were captured when the Imperial Order sent soldiers to take the Book of Counted Shadows from the library of bones there. With that Book there will only be one remaining that Jagang could need.
Nicci used the sliph to explain the problem at the Wizard's Keep to Nathan and Ann. She told them how they knew the Keep's magic was failing and that it could be side effects to the magic in the People's Palace. She also told them how she put a Box of Orden in play under Richard's name. This was greeted with hostility at first, but like Zedd they soon understood the necessity of it. Nathan told Nicci that the actions has secured them facing the Great Void, and Richard is there only hope of escaping it.
Ann wanted to talk to Nicci for a while. Nicci agreed so that she could try and gain information on Six because now she had one of the Boxes of Orden that Nicci needed to recover, but Ann had other motives. Ann wanted Nicci to try and become Richard's woman in his life. Although Nicci would have loved to fulfill that role she showed great restraint as Richard's friend to explain that Kahlan was real and who he deserved.
Nicci constantly shows an excellent job of representing how friend should act by thinking of what benefits Richard and not only thinking of herself.
