==Dialogue==
===AlUla===
To pass as a merchant, Ghassan needs to know more about AlUla. He begins by asking what the main source of AlUla's prosperity is, beyond trade.
<tabber>
|-|Agriculture=
[[File:DTA - Mission Runaway Step 01 Choice 01.png|thumb|250px]]
You tell him that you believe that the prosperous town is also fueled by local agricultural activities.

You correctly recall that the thriving town depended as much on the oasis farms as on the caravans that passed through it. Ghassan nods, committing your words to memory. This is the perfect answer.
|-|Temples=
[[File:DTA - Mission Runaway Step 01 Choice 02.png|thumb|250px]]
You tell him that you believe that the wealth of AlUla partially comes from pilgrims stopping in AlUla before continuing their journey.

Ghassan looks uncertain. Whilst travelers do pass through the town on pilgrimage, this is not what fills its stores and markets. You would have helped him more by explaining that the town's wealth also comes from the agricultural activities in the oasis.
|-|Manufacturing=
[[File:DTA - Mission Hammer Choice.png|thumb|250px]]
You tell him that you believe that AlUla has a strong manufacturing industry that contributes to its prosperity.

Ghassan frowns at your suggestion. The town's craftsmen serve local needs, but no merchant would speak of AlUla as a place of industry. You would have helped him more by explaining that the town's wealth also comes from the agricultural activities in the oasis.
</tabber>

===Frankincense===
Ghassan plans to pose as a merchant transporting valuable frankincense. Sheepishly, he admits he is not entirely sure why it is so highly prized.
<tabber>
|-|Aroma=
[[File:DTA - Mission Runaway Step 02 Choice 01.png|thumb|250px]]
You explain that you think frankincense was prized for the pleasant aroma it released when burned.

You correctly explain that frankincense is prized for the extraordinary fragrance it releases when burned, and it is traded at great price across vast distances. Ghassan smiles, now able to speak of his wares with confidence. This was the perfect answer.
|-|Construction=
[[File:DTA - Mission Hammer Choice.png|thumb|250px]]
You suggest that frankincense might be used in construction.

Whilst frankincense is indeed a resin, it is in no way suitable for construction. You would have helped him better if you had explained that it is due to the extraordinary fragrance it releases when burned.
|-|Dye=
[[File:DTA - Mission Runaway Step 02 Choice 03.png|thumb|250px]]
You explain that you think frankincense can be used to dye clothes.

Frankincense is not colored and cannot be used to dye clothes. You would have helped him better if you had explained that it is due to the extraordinary fragrance it releases when burned.
</tabber>

===Tomb of Hinat===
To make his disguise convincing, Ghassan must appear familiar with the route through AlUla and its famous landmarks. One of the best known is the Tomb of Hinat. He asks you to tell him more about it.
<tabber>
|-|Hinat and Her Descendants=
[[File:DTA - Mission Runaway Step 03 Choice 01.png|thumb|250px]]
You explain that it was built for Hinat, her children and her descendants.

The inscription specifically states that the tomb was created for Hinat, her children and her descendants, forever. Your answer is correct.
|-|Brothers and Sisters=
[[File:DTA - Mission Runaway Step 03 Choice 03.png|thumb|250px]]
You suggest it was made for her brothers and sisters.

The inscription specifically states that the tomb was for Hinat, her children and her descendants. You hope this mistake will not arouse suspicion.
|-|Enemies=
[[File:DTA - Mission Dagger Choice.png|thumb|250px]]
You tell him that it was created specifically for her enemies.

The inscription specifically states that the tomb was for Hinat, her children and her descendants, forever. You hope this mistake will not arouse suspicion.
</tabber>

===Outcome===
<tabber>
|-|All correct answers=
Your advice was perfect, and Ghassan is visibly relieved, now feeling fully prepared to pose as a merchant. Before setting off, he gratefully entrusts you with a fragment of ancient Nabataean inscription and thanks you for your help.
|-|At least 1 wrong answer=
Your advice has given Ghassan greater confidence, and he now feels better prepared to pose as a merchant, despite the challenges that may still lie ahead. Before he departs, he gives you a fragment of an ancient Nabataean inscription.
|-|All wrong answers=
Your advice to Ghassan may have caused more harm than good, and he remains clearly anxious about posing as a merchant. Before he departs, he absent-mindedly hands you a fragment of an ancient Nabataean inscription.
</tabber>

==Outcome==
The Hidden One received a fragment of an ancient Nabataean inscription as a reward for their help.

==Behind the scenes==
