Confusion, Reconcilliation, and Forgiveness

After resting we emerge from the Temple of Melkart to see a big bunch of arabs and wolves. They demand we release the Caliph. It's Orm's_Moorish_Allies. We hem and haw, and one of them (Qadir) emerges from the shadows to fail spectacularly at a backstabbing Harald. We teleport away to Merlin's Cave. After a short while they follow us. We fight for a round or two before they calm down and we talk things over. They seem like decent folk, except for Qadir who is jumping around like a crazy-man demanding to drink Harald's blood. They agree that we're not kidnappers, and they give some thought to taking the Umayyid Caliph adventuring. We make a deal so that they take the Caliph home and we get our stuff and henchmen back. They swap takes place without incident. We stop by the local Cabbalists and pick up a document translated using Solomon's Bible Code. They mention that reading it made one of them go mad, and Ailyll Heals him. We hire a boat and take off for St. Marie de la Mer. The journey is uneventful, though we learn that Witege is probably dead for a while. We also find out where a Morkoth can be found.
