Deceptive Ally

As the guardians continued their quest, they encountered a new face along their journey. This was Alara, a seemingly friendly woman who offered her assistance to the group. Alara claimed to share their goal of defeating the encroaching darkness and expressed her desire to help.

However, what the guardians didn't know was that Alara had an ulterior motive. She was secretly allied with Morgarath, the Goblin Lord, and her true intentions were far from friendly. Alara pretended to be an ally to the guardians, all the while plotting to betray them and lead them into a dangerous trap set by Morgarath.

As the group traveled together, Alara's presence began to create a rift among the guardians. Some were wary of her and sensed that something was amiss, while others were more trusting. Oliver, in particular, felt drawn to Alara and believed in her sincerity.
