I thought I'd post my entire log for my first regular game, wherein, due to last minute cancellations, only 3 of my players went through my "Vultures of the Eastern Desert Adventure":

Eastern Desert, the Grand Caravan Road, Day 1
When Queen Jumila of Shushan saw the Nipprites betray her army, she asked the Virgin Oracle to send one of her guards to summon Captain Galerius’ mercenary heavy horse. They chose Grimjob Al-Habak to send the news. Grimjob rode off towards Galerius’ banner, and killed 2 Nipprite horsemen on the way, although he himself was wounded.
Meanwhile, Conrad and Vegeta were on guard over a train of water-camels, along with their squad-mates the Zingarans Tito, Vizzarro and Hernando. They witnessed Galerius and his men ambushed by Nippr’s Zuagir Nomad allies, and saw Galerius and many of his men destroyed by some foul sorcery. Just then, Galerius’ banner-bearer broke from the press and dashed toward Conrad and Vegeta’s position, chased by 8 Zuagirs on foot. The standard bearer was shot to death and his brains were splattered all over Conrad. Then Vegeta, Conrad and the three Zingarans moved forward to exchange missile fire with the Zuagir ambushers. Conrad and Vegeta soon closed to melee combat, but the three Zingarans slipped away and made off into the deep desert with the camels and all the carried food and water. The Zuagirs were soon supported by 4 more of the clan on horseback, but Grimjob chose this moment to appear and support the 2 mercenaries in the fight. Soon all 12 Zuagirs were killed. Vegeta had suffered a serious scimitar wound, and Grimjob was still hurting from the Nipprite arrows.
As Grimjob, Conrad and Vegeta surveyed the scene from a small hill, they saw the Queen’s position overrun by the Turanians and the entire Shushan army disintegrate into a panicked mob. They three warriors were left with a difficult decision, but they figured that their best chance was to track down the 3 treacherous Zingarans, take the food and water supplies, and seek safety across the deep desert.
Vegeta was able to follow the trail of the Zingarans. About nightfall, they heard a woman screaming up ahead. Vegeta charged forward to find Tito and Vizzarro pawing over a woman at their makeshift camp. He arrived among them but was brutally stabbed by Tito, grievously hurting him. Soon Conrad and Grimjob arrived in support and killed both Zingarans. The woman, a fellow refugee from the army, was named Drusilla and said that when she was taken by the Zingarans, Hernando made off with most of the camels, as Tito and Vizzarro had been distracted with her. There was enough food and water left in Tito and Vizzarro’s kit to last the party about 3 days.
Vegeta and Grimjob were still suffering from their wounds, but they attempted to track Hernando anyway. Vegeta, however, lost the trail in the darkness.
