While the adventurers were celebrated as heroes in Saddoon, two of the children they had rescued had been abducted from the neighboring village of Tazir. The next day, they escorted the children home where they met with the resident ruler, Lord Biram, to tell him about the snake-people gypsies. He hired the adventurers to go with his Ranger, Breen, to look for more Yuan-Ti, suspected of hiding in the jungle bordering the village.
Their guide led them to a hill whose peak was visible from the tower of Tazir, only it turned out to be a tall step-pyramid overgrown with vegetation. There they were ambushed by the snake people, who Breen turned out to be in league with, but the party vanquished the enemy, including the traitorous Ranger.
Scaling the pyramid, the adventurers found an open top and a vast, dark interior within. Closer inspection revealed several sarcophagi and a floor writhing with snakes, but the party decided to return to Tazir with the heads of the enemy to prove their elimination and come back later.
Sir Gazande alone was permitted an audience with Lord Biram. It was a trap, for Lord Biram turned out to be a Yuan-Ti, and the paladin barely escaped to reunite with his companions outside. When Lord Biram attempted to flee, Sir Gazande shot him with a crossbow, inflicting a fatal critical hit.
By the Rites of Succession, when a noble kills another noble, the victor inherits the property of the slain. Sir Gazande, a Gold Dragonborn Paladin of noble birth, was instantly embraced by the people of Tazir as their new ruler.
