Wicked Water Woes

Mandaras Savrethi wants me to ask the Obainat Ashlanders south of him to stop stealing his water and damaging his crops. He seems to think that the Ashlanders will be persuaded with some herbs and hides.

I cannot negotiate with the Ashlanders. Mandaras suggested that I kill the gulakhan and the wise woman, leaving the Ashlanders headless.

The Ashlanders were clearly offended by Mandaras' very unthoughtful gifts. I was directed to the Obainat's leader to discuss the matter further.

Massur-Dan called the Hlaalu greedy, and refused to compromise. He asked me to deliver an enchanted amulet as a "return gift" to Mandaras.

I spoke to the wise woman Musa Ashadallit. She believes that killing Mandaras is not a wise move. She removed the fatal enchantment on the amulet and replaced it with a milder, but nonetheless effective one.

I told Massur-Dan about Musa modifying the amulet. Massur-Dan recognized Musa's plan as a wise move, but was offended by her defiling his plan.

I killed both the gulakhan and the wise woman.

I killed both the gulakhan and the wise woman. Now that the Ashlanders have lost their leaders, I can report back to Mandaras.

I told Mandaras the truth about the amulet, and he is reasonably angry. He suggested that I kill the gulakhan and the wise woman, leaving the Ashlanders headless.

I gave the modified amulet to Mandaras. The wise and charming Mandaras gleefully accepted the gift and rewarded me.

Musa Ashadallit is happy that I resolved the matter without blood shed. She rewarded me with another amulet she crafted, and assured me this one was safe.

Mandaras is happy to learn that both the gulakhan and the wise woman are dead. He rewarded me handsomely.

I gave the gulakhan's amulet to Mandaras. Mandaras was ecstatic and immediately put it on, killing him in the process.

I killed Mandaras.

I convinced Mandaras that with the gulakhan and the wise woman in discord, the camp will fall in no time. Mandaras was surprised, but still deemed my mission a success.

I informed Massur-Dan of Mandaras' death.

The Obainat's gulakhan, Massur-Dan, is dead. With no war-leader left to negotiate with, Mandaras Savrethi's quarrel with the Ashlanders cannot be settled.
