At last, our heroes arrive in Dhalia. While Cedes checks back in with the rangers, Gari and Tieo explore the town, eating at Aloma's food stall, and shopping for new clothes for Gari from Atelier Yentoo. Cedes reconvenes with Gari, taking her to the headquarters of the Rangers of Dhalia to meet with a black mouse Familiar named Captain Ukhu who is Cedes' mentor and leader of the Rangers. Ukhu crafts a sword for Gari which she uses to practice and learn swordplay from Cedes. After shopping, the two meet with Governor Barrera, a rude man who dismisses their concerns about the kidnappings. He agrees to grant them passage through Dhalia after he has dealt with some pressing, local concerns.
Later after nightfall, Gari and Tieo are woken by the sounds of yelling in the town square. The two go to investigate but are captured and imprisoned. Accompanying them in their jail cell is Iato, the baboon Familiar from the Snail's Foot pirate attack. Cedes appears and breaks them out from jail, informing them that Captain Ukhu and the Rangers of Dahlia have broken their vows and staged a coup.
They make their way back to Governor Barrera's pyramid, fighting through the yards, stealing the city's offical seal, and confronting Barrera. Gari and Tieo choose to hold back the guards so that Cedes and Barrera can talk. The usurper Ukhu appears, dueling with Cedes and eventually falling in the battle.
With the Rangers of Dhalia in shambles, Cedes leaves to journey with Gari and Tieo.
--Something about the governor's taxation??
TBD
Food stall: Operated by a woman and her dog Familiar
Atelier Yentoo: Clothier operated by someone named Yentoo. Outside the shop is a fancy, clothed cat who is surprisingly not a Familiar but a mundane animal.
