Sometime after the gathering Khmelnytsky was arrested in the village of Buzhyn, ( north of Chyhyryn), by Radlinski, a servitor of Aleksander Koniecpolski, and was sent to Kryliv. Khmelnytsky was allowed to be released on the bond of Stanislaw Michal Krychewski, who cautioned Khmelnytsky about the plot to kill him. "Having nowhere to turn for protection", Khmelnytsky "set out" for the Lower Dnieper River "to others who had been similarly mistreated". Khmelnytsky pretended that he was going with his escort (around 1,000 men, though some sources say 250) to Trakhtemyriv (administrative center of Registered Cossacks), but suddenly turned and moved towards the Zaporizhian Sich together with his older son Tymish and 20 cavalrymen of his escort.
