The soldiers laughed at Frankenstein's display, and just ignored his pleas. They seemed to find the group a great source of amusement. After a while, one of them had mercy and let down the rope ladder.
A while later, and they all had mugs of cold water in a border tent, talking to a man speaking their language in a fractured manner. "I is, you say, wonder, why you cross sand?" he asked. Steven explained about the treasures several times, and even showed them. The man was interested. "Why, you must cross our land? We negative."

Hugh heard the men telling them to go back and decided that he gone through enough.

We should be there in two days, judging by the map." Steven didn't remind them of the fact that he had no idea where they were on the desert border however, as it could probably embarass him. "So. Everyone have a good night, and be ready."
That night, Steven was awoken by a jarring metal crash and muffled cursing, coming from a corner of his room. The dark wooden structure was illuminated only by moonlight, and the corner was black, but the metal bucket rolling away from it was illuminated. Suddenly, Steven caught the flash of a knife in the dark...
[[Thieves. Although they mean business, they'll probably run away if you give them a good scare.]]
