Defeat of Ma-Zook

Military: Skirmish

in route to Gutterdor, the party has tea with the enemy.

While following the river to Gutterdor the team comes across a monk sitting there preparing tea. He introduces himself as Ma-Zook, and he is a Malari. He invites the team to sit for tea, as he's sure they have questions and as he does not believe Malar wants a champion that just culls weak prey, but one who can best prey that has their full knowledge and power to bear. He sits and answers questions as long as they want, but it is an ambush and soon he reveals himself to be a Weretiger. The fight is further complicated by Bugak, an Orc wizard, hiding in the wings.

The party defeats Ma-Zook and claims his Tooth talisman, but Bugak gets away.
