Having no other option, the party retrieves the armlet and hands it over to the kidnappers, who then release the fake Tsarevna. She tells Alena that her name is [[Anya]] and apologizes for the inconvenience that her actions brought to Alena and party. She then hands over the [[Thief's key]] and leaves after promising not to impersonate her again in the future.

The party continues on to a [[Desert Bazaar]], where they are informed by a palace guard that something has happened to the Tsar. They return to find him unable to speak, and the chancellor suggests they talk to an old man living in the palace to try to find a cure.

==Voiceless Tsar==

The party continues on to a [[Desert Bazaar]], where they are informed by a palace guard that something has happened to the Tsar. They return to find him unable to speak, and the chancellor suggests they talk to an old man living in the palace to try to find a cure. The old man mentions that the local bard, Josef Starling, was also voiceless for a time, suggesting they ask him how he overcame this ailment. Josef tells them his condition was cured with [[Birdsong Nectar]], an item he acquired from the Desert Bazaar. A merchant at the Bazaar confirms that birdsong nectar was indeed sold there, but there is none left. The merchant suggests searching a tower to the west as the item was found there in the past.

Alena and her group climb to the top of the tower, only to find [[Oopsy and Daisy]], who then leave, dropping a vial of Birdsong Nectar in their haste. Retrieving this, she returns and administers the cure to her father, who tells her that he had a strange recurring nightmare in which demons destroy the planet, but his voice was stricken the moment he informed his chancellor. He then grants Alena full permission to fight in the tournament.

Arriving at Endor, they discover that King Norman has promised the hand of [[Veronica|Princess Veronica]] in marriage to the tournament winner. However, he feels that he made a foolish mistake, and requests that Alena enter the tournament herself, reasoning that, were she to win, his promise would be made void. Alena, who wished to enter anyway, agrees to this plan.

==The Tournament of Endor==

However, he feels that he made a foolish mistake, and requests that Alena enter the tournament herself, reasoning that, were she to win, his promise would be made void. Alena, who wished to enter anyway, agrees to this plan. The group also hears about a [[Psaro the Manslayer]], the only other fighter to pass the preliminaries.

Alena, after preparing herself, then enters the tournament. Her first battle is against [[Atilla the Hunk]], followed by [[Quick Draw McGore]]. After that, she fights [[Prima Donna]] and [[Sampson Knight]]. She then fights the [[Abominable Showman]], and steels herself for the battle against Psaro the Manslayer, but he is a no-show, so Alena wins by default. After the battle, one of her soldiers informs her that something terrible has happened at the palace just before dying.
