Jing Ral smiles at the noble and western ways of Azhur. "Master Lei Tse
not so rich. Camel Riders very poor, and you not so useful in a desert.
They may out like bandits now so they are happy. Master Lei Tse will be
very interested in your story. Funny collection of people you are, must
have good story to be so far away from your home. Oh yes, I recognise
you straight away. Duke's brother, Duke Lei Chang, head of Lei Kung,
cult of this city. He has wizard who works for him, name Guillaume
Faust. He speak like you, know him for many years now. Say his is from
land called Seshnela."

"Oh yes", the rubble runner snuffles. "I can't sense him yet ... but he
can sense me. Guillaume Faust, that's his name. He'll be there to meet
us no doubt. He would have been able to sense my arrival for days, even
months, from the very moment we boarded that boat and started heading
here, he would have been making preparations."
 
"It will be good to see the master again, although I'll miss you little
iron man. Still, now you are a slave I suppose I will see a lot more of
you".

As you engage Jing Ral in conversation he takes you to a large temple,
with draconic carvings on the roof and ceiling. It has no walls but is
open and allows a strong breeze through. Sitting in the middle of the
complex is a young man in military uniform. All bow towards him, and
Jing Ral beckons you to do so as well. 

"Master! These are the stranger that the Camel riders brought to the
slave market, who must be from the West. They had fabulous treasures
which are now yours of course, great Master" 

The Master looks at you all expressionless and waits for your actions.
