Quest Summary:
The servant of a sultan of Crescent came to the party pleading for help. The sultan's daughter was kidnapped by Raque, the Demon Lion (a lion-themed rakshasa), and the party was hired to go and rescue him. After being teleported over by a hired service, the party set to tracking the beast and his caravan, which was traveling quite light and fast at that time. They carefully infiltrated the camp after catching up, posing as slavers while Darrion searched, invisible, for the sultan's daughter. They eventually all managed to make their way into the inner harem of the Demon Lion, and then bluffed the minotaur guards into stalling long enough for Darrion to get the harem slaves out, and the party to decimate the guards before they faced the Demon Lion himself.
