    D&D 5E (2014) Al-Qadim Moving Through the Flame

    Husam gave a courteous bow. He had hoped to not burden these unfortunate souls with the expectations of hospitality, but the jann was apparently calloused to their plight. "We bring you greetings from the court of Sheikh Ali al-Hadd honored ruler of Tajar, may his rule grow in peace and...

    D&D 5E (2014) [5e] QL's Al-Qadim Game

    Quickleaf, I was working on a post and I realized that I might be misunderstanding something. Would you be able to clear something up for me? Hadia mentions raiders from Badu al-Kabir. Is that just the general desert location that we are in or is that a reference to a specific group? I think...

    [5e] Spell & Crossbones

    I'm still around, but I'm the last person to post in my scene. Not sure what I can do.

    D&D 5E (2014) Al-Qadim Moving Through the Flame

    Holding his hand out to let the others know to hang back, Husam approaches Usqual with a slight bow. "We do not wish to insult the caravanserai by barging into their presence. Would you do us the honor of announcing our presence to your fellows and asking them to join us out here." He lowers...

    D&D 5E (2014) Al-Qadim Moving Through the Flame

    Husam finishes wrapping up some food in cloth as Salhuddin finishes his greeting with the Jann. His mind was troubled. He wanted to help these people, but something was strange. First, there was the hydra who shouldn’t be able to live here. Then, they found a murdered corpse of an honorable...

    Never be afraid to be the first one to resort to violence. Anyone have a fireball we can toss in there? Just kidding. Mostly.

    This guy is shifty enough where even Husam is suspicious. I like the Easifa option, but should we go ahead and start walking slowly up so as to not offend/tip off the Jann?

    D&D 5E (2014) Al-Qadim Moving Through the Flame

    "Forgive my ignorance, honored guest," Husam says with a bow, "but I would not wish to insult the caravanserai that you serve by coming to her empty handed. If she and the children have not eaten in some time, then they need food. The Lawgiver exhorts us to hospitality and Fate has given us...

    I am always on board for shenanigans and tomfoolery. Just let me know.

    D&D 5E (2014) [5e] QL's Al-Qadim Game

    Either way works. I kept looking for a reason for Husam to turn back, but you guys were super stealthy. The only really public thing that happened was Lal bent down and started drawing in the dirt while telling a story. Husam knows Lal. He knows those stories last forever. He picked up his...

    The last thing Husam said that he was doing was heading to the caves to look for a place to entomb the body. He didn't see the flying man and he didn't overhear any of the talk about him (I was paying attention to see if anyone spoke above a whisper and they only did when it was in code). Long...

    Critical Role Delve into Critical Role's campaign setting with co-writer James Haeck!

    I can't say that I'm a super-fan, but I'll gladly claim to be a fan. I'm working my way through their backlog, but haven't gotten current yet (they're about to fight Thordak). So with that, I would offer that there isn't anything high concept different about the setting. The continent...

    D&D 5E (2014) Al-Qadim Moving Through the Flame

    "There's no way to truly identify him then? We know he was a good man, but we can't tell his family. Fate blows where it wills." Husam is quiet for a moment before continuing, "He deserves better than to be covered in sand only to be dug up by beasts. I'll go check on the caves to see if...

    D&D 5E (2014) Al-Qadim Moving Through the Flame

    Would Husam (or any of us, really) recognize the name 'Sarraf'?

    D&D 5E (2014) Al-Qadim Moving Through the Flame

    "Thank you for your offer, Vizier, but I should be fine for the moment. Perhaps your magic can help unravel the mystery of that sphere," Husam offers with a slight bow. Stepping away, Husam calls out, "Ajan! Nimar!" He waves the two men over while whistling for his horse to come...

    Ancalagon I try not to look at other folks character sheets so that I don't metagame (It also saves me the frustration of screaming at the screen, "Not that spell, the other one!). That said, I looked back at your attacks. That was a solid round, man. Husam's numbers may look high, but that...

    D&D 5E (2014) [5e] QL's Al-Qadim Game

    Catching up on the general thread. I thought the fight went fine, Quickleaf. I didn't recognize the tail swipe and boiling water as being triggered from health. I just thought they were legendary actions of some kind. Either way, I thought they were both well in bounds. I'm always assuming...

    D&D 5E (2014) Al-Qadim Moving Through the Flame

    Husam takes 11 fire damage from the water. 101 Current HP. Husam nods his thanks to Lal for the assist out of the water and ignores the stinging pain of his bright red and inflamed skin while cleaning the ichor from his clothes and sword. "We should absolutely see if there is anyone in the...

    D&D 5E (2014) Al-Qadim Moving Through the Flame

    Husam takes 17 dmg (6 attack, 11 fire). Current HP: 112 Husam struggles to hold his breath as the beast drags him beneath the surface. The flame on his sword is quenched as it is swallowed up by the water. The blistering heat of the water causes every instinct that he has to tell him to...

    Well... nuts. Husam Dex Saving Throw: 1D20+3 = [1]+3 = 4 That's to funny to go for Indomitable, but this is going to hurt. Lose 7 HP and go prone. Current HP: 129 Husam hears his friend greet him as he joins the battle. For the briefest moment, he turns his head to greet Lal. "Reminds me of...
