[QUOTE="Ancalagon, post: 7080074, member: 23"] Hello [MENTION=20005]Matthan[/MENTION], so if I gather correctly, you are essentially one of the Sheikh's champions now? Ok, I think we can riff each other and create something here... Here is what I propose: The scorpion army of Al-Qadir sounds like a good scenario for the two PCs to initially meet. This situation sounds less like the work of a tactical genius and more like one of a madman (the high int, *looow* wisdom type). He suddenly attacks the city with his scorpion horde, hoping to break through the gate, rush the palace, murder the rulers and take over kinda deal. Unfortunately for him, both Husam and Lal happened to be near the gate and together they rallied the defenders and broke the attack. This would have resulted, at the very least, in both warriors having a very healthy respect for each other. Of course Lal would let Husam get most of the credit. A year or two later, Lal could have been passing through the city, learn about the Serpent Brethren, curiously look into the group only to be very alarmed by what he found. (Lal is *not* a natural spy, but cults are rigth up his alley). Husam would have been a natural person for Lal to contact about this situation. Husam could then have asked for Lal's assistance in dealing with the cultists. Does this work with you? Lastly, Lal isn't being reworked per se, but as QuickLeaf pointed out, he wasn't very rooted in the setting, which is a very fair comment (it's a bit harder to do when you are a wanderer and a commoner). I've sent him a sort of "records of travel", as well as a way to introduce him to the party (but I want his OK with him since it may not fit with his vision of the game). I think these prior contacts with Husam will help with this rooting process. Sent from my SM-G930W8 using [URL=http://r.tapatalk.com/byo?rid=93205]EN World mobile app[/URL] [/QUOTE]
