Of course they grant wishes. Do you not remember? They came upon us after we defeated the fakkir of death, and granted each of us a wish. They went to you, Merrick, and you wished to be taken home and made the Lord of the Wilds! Then they went to Urgan, and he wished to be brought back to his home as the most powerful of all wizards! Then they went to Torhak, and he wished to be taken back and made the leader of the Ranger Conclave!

And so it was. Finally, they came to me, Merrick. And Rabb al-Raml said unto me, "What do you wish for, Shamal, our most loyal servant?"

I looked upon the cave, and I thought of you, my good friends. And so I said, "My lord, I am lonely. I wish my friends were back." AND IT WAS SO!

Shamal starts laughing.

Habibi, I only ask for the power to carry out the wishes of the djinn, not that my own will be be made manifest. I do not trouble my mind with great powers.

Shamal then goes to the water and performs a short dance of the Faisan that was passed down for generations, known to cleanse impurities from the scant waters that they would come across, and distributes the drinking water to the group. Thinking for a second of the angry tree, Shamal looks at the group and says, I know not what evil drives this creature, but I do know that thirst drives many to madness. It would be inhospitable to deny any creature the blessings of Rabb al-Wahah.

With that, Shamal waves the saif al-bedawai in a pattern, causing rain to fall on to the tree creature. He then pours out the rest of the purified water so that it would flow to it while sitting down and waiting for the group to begin moving again.

Merrick is sitting with his shield on the ground and he has the fresh meats and cheeses and bread he’d taken from the Wizard’s home spread out on it like a Charcuterie board for everyone to share. He listens to Shamal’s story with interest.

“Lord of the Wilds is a big wish. I’d be happy for a cold beer but I seem to be on a path I can’t get off of. It’s leading me right into the middle of this mountain.

Your optimism sure makes the journey more enjoyable”

When Shamal summons the water, he’s impressed,

“That’s a fine gift for a desert dweller to wield, if you ask me. And an even finer one to share. Thanks. I’m sure he’s thankful too” he points at the tree.

He fills his water skin with the fresh water and notices Urgan has returned. He’s surprised to see the hyena,

“Well, paint me blue and call me George! You got ‘im back. He gives the furry creature a pet but then remembers something. He rummages in his bag,

“Oh, hey guys, take these. They might be useful.”

“It’s a few of those red bandanas. Maybe we can bluff our way a bit further in. Maybe pretend we are on a shift change. It’s about supper time anyways and they might be expecting relief.”

He ties one around the hyena’s neck.

“Now he’s one of the gang”

Spoiler: Ooc

Character sheet updated and a bit of rp

Merrick still has red bandanas from the mercs that we can try to pass as one of them.
