Rafiq was answering questions for his new templar friend. He warned the Templar about Tyr planning to attack Urik. It was a lie, of course, but he was hoping the Templar would believe him.
The rest of the group were in the desert, west of Fort Iron. They did not know what to do about Rafiq being captured. So, they decided to have Ali use the way to spy on Rafiq.
Back at the fort, the templar brought in dancing girls and he and Rafiq dined together. This is the scene that Ali saw, when he used the way to spy on Rafiq. Ali told the group what he saw, making sure to point out that Rafiq seemed to be enjoying himself.
Dimitria was sure a spell had been cast on Rafiq, otherwise, he would just teleport away. Suddenly, a wind blew in from the south and when the dust cleared, Kraah was standing before them.
The group was over joyed to see their friend again. The group briefed Kraah on all that had happened since they left the Lost Oasis, including how Rafiq had been captured. Kraah was troubled by Rafiq's capture and came up with a plan to rescue him. Everyone listened and agreed that it seemed to be a good plan.
Yusef spent the rest of the day crafting disguises for everyone, except Kraah. He did a good job for everyone and for Clavis, he did an amazing job. He made him look like a beautiful, muscular woman. They didn't want to return to Fort Iron the same day, so they waited until the next.
