Upon going on the journey, the gang runs into a dead elk with its stomach rich with oil. Seeing that this is not normal, the gang decides to pursue this (much to Issechar's boredom) and arrives to the hut of a mystery man.
Disguised as captain "Chase" Staget, confronts owner of hut about pollution issued. Begins to be persuaded with a bribe of three health potions, but multiple disguises from the party and Red lighting the place on fire, Issechar retreats, bored.
Party camps for the night with Issechar retreating to a pond nearby (few hundred feet away) to sleep in and take a two hour watch during which he saw nothing
Next day Issechar forcibly gets the gang to leave in a hurry to get on the road. Aavaa begins to sing obnoxiously in his head to which, after a failed suggestion, he threatens to bite out her tongue and leave her to bleed. She stops.
Approaching scrubland leading into desert and approaches a wagon who greets us. Other than that, smooth journey for the next few days into the desert. Issechar is noticeably uncomfortable and a bit more bitter in the desert. At night, in the western horizon during his watch, he sees a variety of purples and blue lights beaming in the distance, but none of the others notice. Since they were not in the direction that they were walking, Issechar moves on with the party.
The next night, through the glowing isle, Issechar sees a shadow move that she wakes up Red for just in case. Upon 20-30 min passing with no other movement, Red goes back to bed and Issechar finishes his watch without any other noticeable goings on. The next day, they check the area after Florin also sees the shadow. It was nothing.
They run into a gang of 10 thieves the next day who claim to own the road ahead but growing tired after failed suggestions on them, Issechar turns to Red and suggests that he's done here. She casts burning hands and they begin battle.
