Back in the Cacti Gulch:
"Yes, quite a sensible idea," Qi encourages.
"A strategic retreat would be acceptable," Cruel Justice says. "But... it should be a last resort."
"I think we can all agree on that," Caerth adds. The half-orc druid shades his eyes as he looks at the sky. "We should rest for an hour. Refill your waterskins. and, lets make sure the horses are well watered and fed." He holds up his right hand. "I have my ring, so I don't need any food or water."
Aureus drinks the last of her water out her own waterskin and goes to refill it. She eats some hardtack rations, as well.
Each of you does what is needed to do before continuing on to Ralix's Cross, or bypassing it.
"Where did you tell the zelekhut to meet us," Aureus asks Maur.
As your conversing amongst each other, the wind dies down to nothing. Unfortunately, the heat doesn't lessen at all. The conversation turns towards whether or not to continue in the daytime or wait until dusk.
Then, you note that the isolated cacti gulch goes completely silent. The small animals scamper away into the scrub and the gathered birds quickly take flight. A low growl emanates from the other side of the oasis. The growl ends with a sighing sound.
"By the gods, will you make up your mind and just be quiet already! You're disturbing my nap!" The voice that resounds in the gulch is deep and booming. The last of the animals scatter. "Adventurers! Always causing so much noise! Either be quiet or begone!"
"Yes, of course. We don't want Eike to get away," Aureus says. "It's just, if things go badly, we run for it, regroup, and come up with a plan to deal with him.""If only to regroup. We promised to deal with Eike."
