Part 1 - Distracting the Guards

The heroes stealthily make their way upstream from the hidden supply base observing four guards and a supply wagon. Hidden under a large bush is a trapdoor to a small underground complex.

Quazzy telepathically charms one of the guards who then wanders off towards civilization to surrender to the rebels forces. This would give away the location of the secret base and causes panic among the guards. A number from the underground chamber, rush after him. Quazzy through the eyes of her familiar observes the charmed man's murder.

A short while before the guards' return, Yureb attempts to confuse the three remaining sentries, but they prove resistant to his control spells. The party attack. Quazzy using a series of deceptions and illusions convinces the archers that are a large army is attacking and tricks them into surrendering. She also uses illusions to set alight the bush hiding the trap door keeping the occupants underneath confined.

Shortly after the guards which hunted down the running man arrive. These exhausted men are quickly dispatched.
