After updating Ali on the tea house investigation, I spoke with a grieving Zanj widow whose son was missing. To ease her pain, I tracked down burial flowers guarded by snakes, while also neutralizing a Tha'abeen member to secure enough mysterious shards for the hidden oasis chamber gear.
A Zanj widow's son has gone missing like the others. I had to meet her, who was at a farm west of the tea house. But before meeting her, I had to meet Ali and tell him what I found at the tea house.
I found Ali and Beshi inside a house, who were torturing a man who has been spending his mornings at the harbor meeting with one Ali thinks is informing for the Caliph. So, Ali asked Basim to find this informant and follow him to see where that leads.
Before going for the informant, I went to speak to the widow, who was not in a good mood as she lost both his husband and son in a short time. So, Basim said he would gather flowers for her husband's burial to ease her pain, speaking in a soft tone to offer comfort.
Right after the conversation with the widow, I noticed a Tha'abeen member was near, who was carrying a mysterious shard. And he had two guards with him. So, I took care of the one at the back first, when the others kept walking ahead without looking back.
The other guard also fell behind. And I took him down right away, when the shard carrier didn't heard anything, so he kept walking forward without knowing what was going to happen to him next.
Then I just shot the shard carrier with a throwing knife. And after he fell down, I collected the mysterious shard. And it looked like now I have enough mysterious shards to obtain a piece of gear from the chamber under the northern oasis.
Then I rode to the burn site to gather the flower that the widow hadn't get a chance to gather. And I had to look around palm groves for the flowers.
I found just the flowers I needed for the burial, but it looked like there were some snakes guarding the flowers. So I had to take care of them first, and I did it with throwing knives, aiming carefully from a distance to pin down the reptiles.
After killing all the snakes around, I gathered the white flowers to soothe the mind of the widow, picked the pristine petals from the bloodied desert soil.
Then before getting back to the widow, I found some skeletons around and some supplies with them. And I got some lead about the widow's son after getting to her, which would help me know what happened to her son.
Until next time, happy gaming.
