- <p>The fight comes to an abrupt end when you deal the last living creature a mighty blow to the base of its deformed head. As it falls lifelessly to the ground, Sergeant Yeng rushes to check that his men have also survived intact. Cautiously you inspect the bodies of the slain beasts and quickly determine that all three are of Agarashi descent. They have probably come down from the Hyunsei Foothills in a desperate search for prey, for the corpses are emaciated by hunger. Sergeant Yeng confirms your suspicions. He tells you that long ago, during the Age of Eternal Night, this land was stalked by Agarashi<ch.emdash/>the hellish creations of Agarash the Damned. When Agarash was destroyed by the Elder Magi, his creations were scattered across the wilderness and plains of Chai. The descendants of these beasts are still alive today, hiding in hills, burrows, and caves. They do not usually attack travellers unless driven by disease or famine.</p>

<p>Using your tracking skills, you quickly determine that there are no other creatures like these in this vicinity. Only then do you and the troopers remount your horses and continue along the highway towards the Javai Forest. A few miles short of the forest you discover a freshwater spring which is forded by the highway. It is an ideal site for a night camp, and so you send one of Yeng<ch.apos/>s men back to the caravan to tell them that you shall await their arrival here.</p>

<p>The fight ends abruptly when you deal your enemy a mighty blow to the base of its deformed neck. As it crumples lifelessly to the ground, you join with Sergeant Yeng and rush to aid the trooper who is caught in the strands of your sticky net. One well-aimed blow puts paid to the creature that is ensnared in the net with him, and then you quickly recite the words to counter the spell and the thankful trooper is soon released.</p>

<p>The threat to the caravan ends abruptly when you deal the last monster a mighty blow to the base of its deformed head. As it falls from the carriage, you grab the reins and bring the wagon smoothly to a halt. Captain Chan tries to calm the alarmed members of the Khea-khan<ch.apos/>s entourage by telling them that the threat has now passed. As their panic subsides, he and his men report to the Khea-khan<ch.apos/>s carriage and tell Kau-Doshin that order has been restored. He is greatly reassured to hear that his Imperial Majesty is no longer in any immediate danger.</p>
- <p>You walk back cautiously along the highway and inspect the bodies of the slain enemy. You are quickly able to determine that all three are of Agarashi descent. They have probably come down from the Hyunsei Foothills in a desperate search for prey, for their corpses are badly emaciated by hunger. Sergeant Yeng rides up and confirms your belief. He tells you that long ago, during the Age of Eternal Night, this land was stalked by Agarashi<ch.emdash/>the hellish creations of Agarash the Damned. When Agarash was destroyed by the Elder Magi, his creations were scattered across the wilderness and plains of Chai.

<p>Using your tracking skills, you quickly determine that there are no other Agarashi like these in this vicinity. Only then do you remount your horse and ride with Chan to the head of the column. As you pass by the Khea-khan<ch.apos/>s carriage, Kau-Doshin calls you to halt. With a respectful bow of his greying head, he praises you for the skill and bravery you displayed while countering the unexpected attack.</p>
<p><quote>The Khea-khan and I will not forget your act of courage, my lord,</quote> he says. <quote>We shall ensure that you are duly rewarded upon our safe arrival in Tazhan.</quote></p>
