D&D 5E [5e] QL's Al-Qadim Game

[VLAD the Destroyer]

I will wait for others to reply to Thateous regarding returning to the palace. My plan is to wait for her to leave and then see if anyone wants to follow me as Salahuddin will not let her go alone. I will then cast invisibility on anyone who wants to go and proceed to the well. I can cast it on up to 3 others beyond myself.

I was actually in favor of splitting the party and even sitting Salahuddin and Najiyah down to figure out this strange genie-magics-stuff that Kaniel is unsure on. Go back to the Palace for some coffee and Turkish delights and maybe get some character backstory.

Can't stop you from going invisible, but barring that, Kaniel would probably be most in favor of returning to the Palace to speak to our Sea-Mage siblings to see if their attackers match Jina's description, or just going around with the writ and making sure we have everything we need to leave first thing in the morning to the High Desert.

 

[Shayuri]

Amina is going to go with Akilah...she won't be going alone.

Yeah but Salahuddin knows how many are waiting for them at the well. (Speaking of that how many did I count while looking through my Gen's eyes?) If things go wrong you two may be in trouble.

I will suggest following and see if anyone wants to go. With Easifa at the well I can keep an eye on things if you can make a convincing argument to Salahuddin to not follow.

Aww Quickleaf, you put in so much effort for me. I choose my magic items a bit ago though.

Speaking of magic, I've gone and updated my sheet to remove the Satchel and add "Enlightenment":

Sun Blade - "Enlightenment"

The House of Nasr has watched over this elegantly simple hilt since the time of The Loregiver, supposedly a gift from The Gods themselves. Made of seemingly luminous silver, the hilt curves slightly down to the pommel which is in the shape of a raptor's head, and its guard is of two wings outstretched, feathers etched in with care. With a prayer of faith, a blade of holy sun burns to life with the cry of a hawk, the beam whooping like the mighty Golden Eagle as it carves through the air and villains alike. It is said that upon finishing their service to The Desert Mosque, the greatest heroes of Nasr will be cremated and entombed within this hilt so that any wielder may harness the power, skill, and knowledge of the faithful warriors that came before. The blade is only brought to bear when The Enlightened face true evil, and thus remained one of the sacred relics of The Desert Mosque.

I added an NPC index to the first post of the story thread. Should help us keep things straight!
