After returning from exploring the demonic temple, the brothers returned home to the palace. They then spent some time training and bettering themselves.

The T'orgh brothers were summoned to the T'orgh Temple. There they found their father alone. No guards, which was very unlike him. He told them once again, that he was very pleased with all they had done so far. He revealed that the scrolls they had found in the elven temple, seemed likely to be sacred scrolls of Asmodeus, scrolls written by his own hand, and said to hold great power. The T'orgh High Priest would keep them for now, to protect them and to find out how to wield said power. But he promised not to forget that it was the brothers that Asmodeus willed to find the scrolls.
He then had the guards enter with a kobold. The kobold, which had been tortured, told a tale of a tribe of kobolds fleeing some aggressive orcs, before settling down in some hills, about 10 days travel to the east. He told that they found a sleeping dragon they could not wake, surrounded by magical stones with weird magical inscriptions, according to their wyrmpriests. After having told the tale, the kobold was killed by Raheem, at the behest of his father.
Venar then ordered the brothers to travel east and find the dragon and make an alliance. He also told them that big things were afoot, that the Council were debating whether integrating dark elves with the rest of the world would not serve Asmodeus best. No matter what happened, House T'orgh would need all the allies they could get.
After getting things ID'ed in Scumtown (Chain mail +2, trident +1, Boots of Striding and Springing and a Wand of Fireballs with 14 charges), the brothers made preparations to leave Menzo.

After a couple of days of walking, the T'orghs ran into Uyark Hume, one of the younger nobles of House Hume. He was very curious about where they going and the fact that they had provisions to go far. He declined to answer about where he was going, but it was clear that he couldn't have come from far, based on his packs. After parting ways with Hume, Raheem took many precautions and the brothers conducted a lot of evasive maneuvers to make sure he wasn't following them.

At night, while resting, the T'orghs were surprised by two giant spiders. They were quickly dispatched, but not before Raheem was bitten. Luckily he resisted the poison that would otherwise have killed him.

Still making way through the forest, but approaching kobold territory, the brothers stumble over an odd black rock with magical symbols, buried in a small hill. They dig it out, and determine that the runes are runes of binding.

Right after waking up, the T'orghs find a cabin, a mere 300 yards from their camp. An old man named Kirk is cooking, and invite them in for food. They start asking him questions, but when Raheem tells him about the location of the rock, Nalfein decides Kirk must die. As it turns out, Kirk is a magical creature, a djinn, but the brothers prove too much for him and he is soon dead

The next day, the T'orgh brothers arrive at the kobold caves, and after been lured inside the caves, the brothers find themselves victims of a trap, where the kobolds set off a chain reaction of exploding barrels of oil - killing all the kobolds themselves, but also almost permanently killing Raheem...
