Swamped

"Marshall! Captain Long! Where are you?"

There's no response. Maybe they got picked up in whatever gateway Rider was chasing... or maybe they walked into a trap.

Dammit. If you'd kept up a little better... maybe if you'd held off talking to Dominique, or if you hadn't tripped over that poor grebling... well, you'd be caught in the same trap if that's what happened. You aren't even sure what you would have done if you found Rider.

Although, you'd really better take a look at that oasis now. If this was a trap, and not two Bogknights tagging along to the Marsh Fortress...

...which is a really, really bad place for Bogknights to be, especially their captain...

...you're definitely going to need Rider's help to follow their trail. Maybe Dominique's help, too.

You don't have time to inform Yvonne directly. You'll just have to tell whoever you run into what you're doing, take the wagon out, and see what you can find out at the oasis. If Rider's not there, well, you'll deal with that if it happens.

"Look out!" a voice suddenly calls. You look around... and see another of those talking lizards.

"What is that?" it says to you.

So Long and Marshall ran into something. And apparently, this lizard is a witness. Well, now you'll definitely want Rider's help.

Unless you have some idea for how to effectively question it on your own, that is.
