"I don't think so." Beth said, casting a spell that temporarily froze the gambler in place. As Cam and Beth went to grab her though two big men stepped in their way. "I think you two need to come with us." One of them said before grabbing Cam's arm.

"Same with this one." they said looking to the gambler. "You ripped off your last customer." they said before being hit with dark fire. "Hands off them." Tess said.

"Tess!" Cam said as the two men groaned. "Take my eyes off you two for a minute and already you're getting into trouble." Tess said, grabbing her friends' arms and making a run for it. Seeing her chance, the gambler took off running as well.

"Well...so much for getting rooms." Tess said. "Hope you three are proud of yourselves. That casino was the best gig I had in this town." the gambler said as she glared at them.

"Hey, you were the one who enchanted Beth. If you hadn't bothered us in the first place you wouldn't have gotten caught." Cam said.

"Have a little faith dear." she said. "Maybe you could help us. We're after something that was reported stolen. A jewel." Cam said. "Ah...you're referring to the Sun Jewel." Clarice said.

"You know what it is?" Beth asked. "Everyone in the desert knows what it is. The new sultan has been looking for it because the people are questioning his leadership. The Sun Jewel is supposed to shine for the true heir, which would put all concerns with the people to rest. It's also worth a hefty fortune to those who want to start an uprising and overthrow the sultan." Clarice smiled. "Any chance you know where it was last seen?" Tess asked.

"It was stolen by a band of thieves last I heard." Clarice said. "They have a hideout in the desert."
