The slavers get the slaves ready and within an hour all of you are ready to move, and most of your gold is left behind in their possession.
"You still, haven't told me your name. It is weird to keep calling you enchantress."
"Funny thing, nobody calls me by name. Everyone calls me mistress."
"Well, <span class="mu-i">I won't call you mistress</span>. What is your name?"
"Such disrespect. I oughta spank your bottom raw."
"Seriously, what is your name?"
"I... don't know. My parents died before giving me a name."
"Oh! I'm sorry... but what people call you then?"
"I just told you. Nobody calls me by name."
"That won't stand. You need a name. I will call you..."

"Who are you?"
"We are the monks of Serene Sands, master. We used to live in a monastery deeper into the desert, but the place was destroyed and we began wandering seeking funds to build a new monastery, master. We had ill luck though and ended up captured by slavers as we were searching for the Sandsong Scepter, master."
"Sandsong Scepter?"
"Yes, it is an ancient relic that allows the wielder to control the winds and create mirages with sound, master. It was fabled to be hidden in the tomb of an ancient king, master. We intended to use it to run show to raise money for building the monastery. But we couldn't locate it and as we were investigating the rumours we attracted the wrong kind of attention and ended up enslaved, master."
"What are your names?"
"I am Brother Aloysius, those are Brother Cosmo, Brother Zephyr, Brother Peregrine and Brother Thaddeus, master."
"Very bold of you to wander about searching for a magic item. Well, you will be working as copyists for me when we arrive at the tower. I might free you eventually, I'm not sure yet."
After a couple days, your small caravan sets off towards Dipper. When you arrive there, you are met with a mixed attitude.
"It is probably not a good idea for me to enter the oasis. The people there will try to kill me."
"You're with me, it will be okay."
Your caravan head into the oasis.
"You brought a slaver here? We should just stone her to death!"
"She abandoned the slavers! She is working with me now."
"Working with you? And that is reason enough to spare her life?"
"Am I not the hero who dealt with the Dune Wraith? If I say she is working with me I take responsibility for her now."
"Talk with the elders. There is much anger against slavers and her life might be in danger."
You take her to talk with the elders.
"She is a slaver and a dark arts practicioner. She can't stay in the oasis."
"I told you so.", says the enchantress. "I'm leaving. I'll way out there."
Once you go replenish your supplies, the tribesmen refuse to resupply you.
"You're a slavedriver. You're not welcome here."
You leave with your dwindling supplies.
"C'mon, let's go."
