For the next stage of the plan the Water Mages need the Magicians of Fire to help blast the ore mound, so 
Saturas sends you to the Old Camp to win over their leader 
Corristo. You arrive too late: 
Gomez has already turned on the 
Fire Mages, and the visit becomes a fight for your life.
- 1Travel toward the Old Camp. On the path between the north gate and the bridge you find Milten, who has
grim news about what has happened in the camp. - 2Speak with
Diego near the south gate for the full picture: Gomez has had the Fire Mages slaughtered, and the Old Campers are about to raid the Free Mine. - 3Escape the Old Camp together with Milten, fighting clear of Gomez's men.
- 4Return to Saturas in the New Camp and tell him the Fire Mages are dead, so the plan must change. He tells you of a thirteenth mage,
Xardas, living in a tower deep in the orc lands to the south, and sends you to find him. - 5Before you set out, ask
Gorn (standing near Saturas) to pass word to Diego about their meeting place, and buy fire and ice spells from 
Cronos for the road ahead.
