After handily dealing with the beastial threat, they were thanked by the old farmer Vasilii and his son, Antone.

Story
After some time of peace, relaxing in the quaint town of Sanoan, peril began to rear it's head once more, this time in the form of an attack upon one of the southern farms by strange creatures. When the party arrived at the scene of the attack, they found the homestead imperiled by ravenous land sharks, creatures usually native to Ohnben. After handily dealing with the beastial threat, they were thanked by the old farmer Vasilii and his son, Antone. Seeing their strengh insured them of the parties ability, and the aged farmer asked them if they could find his wife, Lorelai, who had been missing for some time.
After asking around in the Sleeping Sage, it became clear that Lorelai was not the most faithful of wives. It seemed that she was last sighted with a boastful man from Ohnben called Neifai. It seemed that the two had returned to Ohnben together. However, to simply follow them into the shifting sands might well prove to be a deathtrap, they needed a guide. Thankfully, San'Shal was just about to set off back home to Deloria and offered to guide the party, though she said it would not be an easy voyage.
The party set out into the desert, and after a difficult journey frought with the dangers of the sands, they arrived in Deloria, a large city illuminated from the surrounding desert night. Even more peculiar was the fact that it retained its warmth even on the coldest desert night, and even under the withering sun of the desert afternoons, the temperature would remain the same. That night, the city seemed to be in a state of perpetual celebration. This was of course quite normal for Deloria.
San'Shal asked for them to make themselves at home within the blue raven clan hall, while she left to discuss important matters with the Matron, who was said to be the leader of the Ohnben.
