They have to break through the guard here, since many are on the side of a certain Marzuq. They do the invisibility trick again. They don’t know who’s on which side. After a half hour of trying to find the Sheikh Alzar, Mage Alzar comes across him in the boudoir. He looks rabid and crazed. Alzar opens the tube and throws the powder in the Sheikh’s face. This makes Alzar visible.
The Sheikh in a moment is back, and he orders Alzar out for a few minutes to clean up. After ten minute or so he has bathed, shaved, and changed. He remembers everything, including the treason of Marzuq.
In an hour Marzuq has been found and hung. The edicts have been repealed and ambassadors have been dispatched to the desert centaurs with an apology and explanations.
Alzar greets Alzar and throws an official banquet in his honor, and those of his party. The news spreads, and Alzar informs Alzar about the real reason behind the treason and what he uncovered. This was a plot by the Master to break the Kasbah of Ber-Gathy and claim it for themselves.
The group is considered heroes here about for a few days, and a few things are free – lodging, food, supplies, and so forth.
