Summary:
The PCs venture to Lopul, the oasis city, to pick up Targos Min-Katheer¡¦s remains. There they find his hated enemies, members of a cult of Lamashtu, about to steal the body and defile it. After throwing down with the cultists and claiming the dead venture-captain's corpse, the PCs join a silken caravan led by a mysterious Qadiran woman (actually a janni, and the former lover of Targos). A trio of other travelers have also signed on, one of whom is a Taldan knight named Gaspar Du Mar, a dangerous double-dealing snake of a man who is masterminding ambushes of local caravans and robbing them for his own personal gain.
As they brave the desert, the PCs runs afoul of a sandstorm and a band of goblinoid raiders under Gaspar's command attacks under the cover of the swirling sands. Separated from the rest of the caravan, the PCs must catch up after repelling the bandits, and they discover the corpse of one of their travel-mates lying in the wake of the silken caravan; a merchant murdered by Gaspar and left behind in the chaos of the sandstorm.
Next the party enters a canyon and discovers a shrine to Irori carved into one of its walls. Deadly harpies, waiting in the shrine's cave on orders from Gaspar, attack the party as soon as they approach the ancient monument. Finally, after braving harpies, goblins, and desert winds, the party catches up with the caravan just in time to see a large band of goblins in the service of Gaspar lay siege. They battle the goblins and Gaspar, learn a little bit about their Lady of the Caravan, and finally bring the venture-captain's bones to their final resting place in Katheer.
