Zhai grew up in the Wood Elven village of Cedarleaf, so she's able to get you inside to stop Cireka. The Githyanki General is summoning warriors through a portal at the edge of town, so you're first task is to disrupt her summoning so that she cannot amass a great army. Illius' spells don't pack much of a punch this early in the game yet, but they're your best choice to inflict the kind of damage you're going to need. Cireka's health meter will continually regenerate, so fire at her as fast as you can. To make the task even tougher, Githyanki will leap from the portal on a regular basis and you must contend with them before resuming your attack on Cireka. Luckily, Rannek and Zhai will be able to hold them off mostly on their own, but the occasional attack on Illius will give Cireka extra time to regenerate.
When you've broken her concentration for opening the portal, Slaad will begin teleporting into the village and Cireka will assemble her soldiers to prepare for Goro's attack. To reach the inner portion of the village and help the Wood Elves, you must use Zhai's jumping ability to navigate her across the side of the nearby cliff. Make sure you explore the upper ledge to score some loot from a secluded chest, then kill all resistance and use the globe on the opposite side to open the root bridge for Rannek and Illius. Once they're across, you'll witness the start of a battle between Goro and Cireka and be given a new task to lead 55 Wood Elves to the portal in order to save them from the Slaad and Githyanki attackers.

Move through the burning village (using Illius' newly obtained Beads of Force to get past the tree obstacles) and rescue as many Wood Elves as you can. The battle between Goro and Cireka will gain momentum, but you won't be able to intervene at this point in the game. Eventually you'll reach an area where Slaad just continually spawn in and attack the party. After each wave is destroyed, you'll be able to save several Wood Elves and get a little closer to the 55 mark. When your quota is fulfilled, Illius will lead the party to his mentor, Khelben "Blackstaff" Arunsun, who will no doubt know how to stop the fiends and their growing armies.
