A Dark Sun Adventure: The Runaway Slave Girl

Plot Summery: In a City-State, Post Kalak Tyr and Gulg would not be suitable, lived a lovely slave girl named Heba. She grew up as an attendant for a noble woman named Esraa. While Esraa treated Heba well, the distinction between noble and slave was always present, the two were never friends. Now, at sixteen years old, Heba is growing into quite a lovely young lady and has been granted some authority over the other house slaves.
Another slave, Jamila, is a house slave and is extremely jealous of Heba's beauty and her elevated status. Jamila knows another slave, Ziad, is infatuated with her. She used her feminine wiles to convince Ziad to lie to their mistress, Esraa. Jamila then met with Heba in the kitchen and handed Heba a knife, the knife had blood on it and Jamila had a cut on her arm. Before Heba knew what was going on, Jamila screamed and Ziad rushed in and grabbed Heba by the arms. They then lied to Esraa about Heba attacking Jamila and in an attempt to escape.
Esraa was appalled and ordered Heba to be taken outside, whipped and beaten. Heba had never been whipped or beaten and was very panicked. Once outside, she broke free of the house guard and fled into the streets of the city-state. The guards gave chase.
This is where the player characters enter the adventure.
