The pcs enter the camp of the Lyrune Quah near the House of the Moon. The pcs are approached by a group of distrustful female guardians known as the the Moon Maidens. When their leader Tekra'Kai spies the mark on Andrian's left hand she immediately declares that the pcs have been sent by Desna to rescue them from the deadly red reaver. The pcs quickly organize an assault and lead some two score Moon Maidens in an attack on the creature. At first it seems that even with the pcs assistance the monster will overwhelm them all. Then Riley casts a spell upon the red reaver that makes it fall to the ground in a death like trance. The allies fall upon the creature inflicting horrific wounds and eventually the Moon Maidens stab the creature in the eyes driving their spears deep into its brain and it dies. The Moon Maidens thank the pcs profusely for their assistance and it soon becomes apparent that Riley is now an object of awe and fear to them.

The pcs hold a council with Thousand Bones of the Skoan-Quah. Thousand Bones does not possess the information the pcs need but he knows who does; the Sun Shaman of the Sklar-Quah.


However the Sklar-Quah hate outsiders and barely tolerate the Skoan-Quah. After much discussion it is decided that in order to gain the trust of the Sklar-Quah they must be "born again" by being eaten and excreted by the great greyworm Cindermaw. In order to prove that the pcs really did this they must gain the services of a Truthspeaker. The only current Truthspeaker among the Shoanti is an old man of the Lyrune-Quah tribe. The Lyrune-Quah are also xenophobic and the only way to gain their trust is to have a worshipper of Desna among the pcs take a pilgrimage to the Acropolis of the Thrallkeepers and take the holy Spherewalker's Mark on the left hand. The Lyrune-Quah are unique among the Shoanti in that they actually worship a god of the civilized lands.
