	The natives are angry. They come running towards the 
Š	river bank, screaming and slashing the air with their 
Š	primitive weapons. Their leader shouts at you, and 
Š	although his dialect is unfamiliar, you are able to 
Š	understand enough to hear that the man you have saved 
Š	from the river is a thief and a murderer. He escaped 
Š	from the settlement last night during the rain storm, 
Š	and the leader is accusing you of being his 
Š	accomplice and of helping him to escape. He says that 
Š	the river gods have brought you back to their village 
Š	to pay for your crimes. You attempt to protest your 
Š	innocence but the leader refuses to listen. He 
Š	confiscates all of your equipment, including your Kai 
Š	Weapon, your belt pouch, your backpack and the 
Š	satchel containing the Moonstone, and then he has his 
Š	men march you away to their village where you are 
Š	locked in a hut. Shouting through the closed door, he 
Š	tells you that the village elders will meet tomorrow 
Š	at noon to decide your fate.

	A few hours later you overhear two guards outside the 
Š	hut and you are shocked to learn that the man you 
Š	saved from the river has since been executed. They 
Š	say that the elders of the village decreed that he 
Š	should be weighted with rocks and thrown back into 
Š	the water. You have no wish to suffer a similar fate 
Š	and so you quickly set about finding a way to escape 
Š	from this hut.
