The party decides to not go back into the abandoned city, instead they travel down the Gold Road and meet Tim and Grevin, they join and the party continues moving. After avoiding a sleeping dragon above the road they begin the trip down from the trail.

They come to an oasis at the bottom of the mountain trail. There are signs that a huge encampment of creatures was recently there. They surmise that it was a horde of Tre Hum da.

After carefully looking around they find what looks like a small shrine to the goddess Chaldisaya. There appears to be no entrance to the structure (the doors are painted on.)

As night approaches they party beds down and sees a disturbing sight. Thousands of ghostly Tre Hum Da begin to fill the forest. They jump and caper around the trees, but make no sound.

Arashi proclaims that some of the trees in the forest are not real, they are cunning fakes. They party notices that the ghostly tre hum da fade in and out and go through routines, then start again. They decide that the ghostly tre hum da probably scared off the horde that was there.

The next morning the party sees the caravan begins to descent into the grassland and by the end of the day they are in the oasis. From the north another caravan approaches. The new caravan is led by Tandy Raider and is here to take the gold the rest of the way to the north. The beasts that have been pulling the wagons are slaughtered since it’s the emperor’s orders that none of the southern beasts “pollute” the north.

Raider tells the group that they are relieved from their duty and will be paid when they get to Sylvia’s Rest. They may head to Steel Gate to rest and recuperate.
