	While Jenkshi and the crew are busy repairing the 
Š	ship's hull, you are approached by Grooja, the town 
Š	elder. He is able to speak a little Sommlending and 
Š	he is asks if you would care to stay the night as a 
Š	guest in his humble home. He says that he would be 
Š	greatly honoured if you accepted his invitation and, 
Š	rather than risk hurting his feelings, you agree to 
Š	go.
	
	Grooja lives in the best hut in all of Dlash-da 
Š	Ralzuha. It is the best hut because it possesses a 
Š	door and a roof which does not leak when it rains. 
Š	Grooja's family prepare for you a meal of roasted 
Š	vulture meat and boiled snakes. After this unnusual 
Š	feast, his wife invites their twenty grandchildren to 
Š	come and entertain you with an ancient tribal dance 
Š	in which they each spin around and around for as long 
Š	as they can before they are violently sick. Whenever 
Š	this happens the other members of Grooja's noisome 
Š	clan scream and cheer them excitedly. When at last 
Š	this display of quaint tribal culture comes to a 
Š	natural end, Grooja's toothless wife sidles up to you 
Š	and suggests that you should pay a visit to the 
Š	'Shrine of the Oracle'. She assures you that this 
Š	wondrous shrine is famous throughout this region for 
Š	it dispenses infallible words of wisdom to all those 
Š	who would seek its counsel.
