The party (Tiberius, Nirrana, Samirah, Tasnim, Sul abSil, Asbah) are stuck on the outside of the town thanks to the dao's wall. As they prepare to sleep, Tasnim spies a kahin returning from the desert. It is Abdul, an old friend of the hakima's from Hayafah. Abdul joins the heroes and together they spend the night in peace.
In the morning, the group heads back to the ashiras' grove. The day passes mostly without incident, save in the afternoon when a chimera happens upon the group. Nirrana tosses one of her minor fireballs at the beast and it flies off. The group sleeps in the jackalwere's cave after partially cleansing it.
The heroes arrive at the ashiras' grove and set about making camp. They sleep without incident and in the morning tend the grove, Asbah using twin unseen servants to do quite a lot of manual labor.
After dark, several bands of gnolls arrive and attack the heroes. Samirah proves to be a quite-capable fighter and supports Sul abSil's offensive. Asbah calls for spells, but none arrive in time. With Sul abSil, Tiberius, Asbah, and Abdul struck down, things look bleak...until the ashira remind the gnolls the power of Zakharan dryads! One poor gnolls is charmed and heads off to arm-wrestle a giant scorpion...
The heroes spend time resting in the grove.
