The Oasis is a small area in Chapter 8 of Throne of Bhaal campaign.
Plot[]
After defeating Yaga-Shura, Melissan suggests that you meet her ally Balthazar in Amkethran. Despite having gained the Pocket Plane ability —which supposedly lets you travel anywhere instantly— you are forced to trek through the Calim desert on foot. And although you now have a private extraplanar home base (complete with storage and potentially even your own oasis resort) you still need to stop at this random oasis to cope with the desert's harsh conditions.
Even more curiously, despite no one knowing your destination —and despite the fact that this army company only set out only after Tethyr's authorities learned of Saradush's destruction and blamed you for it— they've somehow managed to catch up with you here. Who even told them that you were in Tethyr in the first place?
To make matters worse, after 12 hours of travel, all your protective spells (except for Invisibility) have expired. You walk straight up to these hostile soldiers. It's just one of those days.

Encounters[]
As soon as you arrive in the area, Jamis Tombelthen will speak with you and blame you for the destruction of Saradush. He and a large army of Tethyrian soldiers across the map will attack you. Upon death, Jamis drops The Answerer and a personal order from Queen of Tethyr. If you manage to stay invisible, you may "safely" walk across the map. You may also leave the area at any time. If you stay outside Jamis' visual range, he will not speak with you. Killing all soldiers will yield 138.000 XP.
