PCs (lvl3): Darok, Terric, Tik-tik, Toruk
The PCs are crossing a stretch of badlands, when they hear a call for help. They investigate the cries, and see an elven girl surrounded by savage gith. They kill the gith, and approach the girl.
She is Jengi, the daughter of Tuga-dai, chieftain of the Jura-dai. She's almost persuaded to bring the party to her father, when they let slip the fact that they're planning to free the captive druid. She becomes guarded, and agrees to bring only one of them, Toruk, to the tribe.
Toruk and Jengi leave, with the other PCs trailing them. The Jura-dai are occupying a fortress of the Ancients, a walled stone structure in disrepair but still impressive. During his stay with the Jura-dai, Toruk is treated like a hero, and he begins to like the elves. Not long after, the other PCs arrive at the fortress, and are imprisoned in the cellars. There Tik-tik finds the elves' stach of methelinoc, the herb they use to poison the oasis. He throws the herbs in a dried-out well situated in the cellars, and burns them with his clerical powers.
Tuga-dai summons the prisoner PCs, and asks Toruk to show his loyalty to the Jura-dai by duelling Darok. The two warriors fight each other, and Darok wins the contest. He's hailed as a champion, but when Jengi goes to him to congratulate him for his victory, he accidentally reveals his role in the killing of the elf Fanan, who was none other than Jengi's sweetheart.
As the other PCs chastise the mul for his big mouth, a group of armed elf, trailed by a furious Jengi, approaches threateningly.
