==Walkthrough==
When approaching the Rain Catcher Fields, a man called Rajesh will come running towards you. He will tell you that there is a problem with giant beetles plaguing the water supply, and that you should speak with Overseer Jahi if you wish to help. 
Jahi will be in the north of the fields. Speak with her and she will tell you that the johads, the water collecting devices, are contaminated with some kind of poison that is also attracting these beetles. She will also suspect that her brother is involved somehow. Jahi will then ask you to investigate the resting camps of the workers, to see if someone brought in the poison. The camps will be to your southwest. In one of the camps, you will indeed find a suspicious vial. The moment you pick it up, Jahi's brother Almur will show up; speak with him and he will tell you that he wants to solve this crisis as much as his sister does, but that he does not know anything more than you do. He will ask you to do a taste test to confirm that the contents of the vial are indeed the same as what is in the johads. 
<There's a visible tint of sickly green in the water, and the bitter taste is very strong.>
<The water tastes sweet, but still has the distinct smell that matches the contents of the bottle.>
<The water has a bitter flavor, not at all like what rainwater should taste like.>
Head over to the three johads and sample the water. You will find that the water tastes very bitter, like the contents of the vial. With this information, head back to Jahi. She will tell you that this is the kind of vial used by Almur's wife Ohama in her alchemy practice. Ohama will be in the house to the east, tending to Almur and Jahi's father Naseiran. Speak with her and she will tell you she thought she had misplaced this bottle; she had no idea it was stolen and used to contaminate the water. She does have an idea for how to track down the thief though. There is a lizard peddler outside, Vena. Her lizards might be able to track the scent on the vial and point out which of the workers handled it.
Head outside and talk to Vena. You can either buy a lizard from her or intimidate her into giving you one. Either way, take the lizard to the workers' camps. Search around for a bit, and you will find the lizard approaching various workers. Eventually, a man called Fermouzh will say that this has gone on long enough; he will tell you and Jahi what's going on. Follow him to Jahi's location and speak to him there. He will tell you that some of the workers may have been bribed by someone to poison the johads; he cannot tell you who because the man that offered the bribes was obscured by shadows when they spoke. He will tell you the dropoff point was inside Jadi's home, where you spoke with Ohama. 
<The leftover food smells of the same musk used in the johads.>
<Jahi's father slept here just a little while ago. He's no longer in bed, but there's no signs of a struggle.>
<Ohama keeps her potions in this dresser. There are several broken bottles inside, as if someone was searching for something quickly and carelessly.>
Head into the home and investigate. You will find that Naseiran has left with no signs of struggle, and that there are several broken vials in Ohama's alchemy cabinet as if someone was looking for something hastily. Once your search is done, Almur will come in; speak with him and he will tell you to use the lizard to track whoever was in here. Head outside and follow the beetle; it will lead you to Naseiran, who has been gravely injured by one of the beetles. You will witness a scene where Jahi and Almur confront their father before he dies of his wounds. 
It turns out that Naseiran poisoned the johads as part of a scheme to prevent his children from selling them. Speak to Jahi and Almur and you will find out that neither of them ever wanted the johads, but that their father wanted Jahi to have them. The decision for who gets the Johads will now fall to you. The quest will finish once you make your choice.
