 Begin with ghast (maurezhi) fight.
 Explain how maurezhi work.
 
 The maurezhi is in the process of eating a body, its current skin dripping off its body.
 As it turns, the party sees that its face is in the process of assuming the form of the new corpse...Howalyn.

+Have the local guard (surprised) explain they were given info that the party came from Veleth. Why didn't they say so???
+This is the town that had the uptick in murders and requested help.
+Give a reward.
+
+Next time the party sees Gail, she's been crying and explains that they just buried Maggie for good, putting her to rest. What a **tragedy**.
+She gives the party an expensive bottle of wine from her personal collection and a few things taken from the body.
+Notably a charcoal image roughly depicting Howalyn's countenance that has some residual dark magic on it.
+On the back are the words ~~"Howalyn, my love."~~ (AC 5 Investigation) scratched out and replace with "Kill" and a signature "Weslocke Marigold" (AC 10 Investigation or Lia/Wong)

+Direct them towards the blue dragon cave? This is the next most pressing issue, as the sandstorms increase.

+# Plot
+
+- [x] Sandstorms have begun to appear more frequently out in the desert, and there has been talk of unnatural lightning and flashes of blue scales in the tempest. 
+- [x] A nearby village has requested assistance from Lord Veleth, there have been a sharp uptick in grisly murders.
+- [x] A bounty has been placed in all the local taverns for a herd of Catoblepas that has been seen outside the village and causing the entire slum district to be abandoned because of the smell.
+
+Party killed the catoblepas.
+
+Traveled to Deseret (1 desert encounter with some scorpions during a sandstorm)
+
+Approaching Deseret, Howalyn gets them all in trouble and he is sent to the prison. The rest of the part apologizes and makes amends.
+
+Explored the shops and met several characters, like **Gail**!
+
+Discovered Howalyn has escaped prison and was resting in a room at the tavern.
+He was found and kicked out of the tavern, leaving the group roomless.
+
+Discovered the well was poisoned by some thugs leaving scorpion carcasses in the river upstream.
+
+Defeated the thugs and released [[Beryl]] from the giant crocodile's stomach.
+A townsperson offered their guesthouse for the party to stay in for the night.
+
+More investigating led the party to Maggie's cellar.
+
+Revealed that Maggie is the most recent victim and current maurezhi.
+
+Maurezhi was in the process of eating [[Howalyn]], part-way through its transformation when the party entered.
+
+Maurezhi cries out for a "Lady Weslocke" as it dies.
