Of course, we must investigate, and quickly find ourselves surrounded by Efreets. We are toast. There's no way we can even fight one efreet, much less five of them. The sheik gives them the order to kill us, and my mind is racing to figure out a way out of this.I remember where we are, what the culture is like, and I know the GM well; he's read much the same literature as I have. My guy is a pretty charismatic fellow, so he rounds on the efreet sheik. "What? This is how you show hospitality to guests seeking shelter from the desert? We've brought bread and wine, and this is the reception we get? Apparently the tales of your generosity are false! You shame your house and name!"The GM grins, as he knows I've read stuff about guest-right and the like, and that this character would know such things (one of his parents being from this area). The efreet sheik raises his hand and stops the others from roasting us, gives us water and food, and demands stories from each of us. It was still a tense encounter since one misstep or slight and they'd have the right to kill us, but I was proud of myself for remembering that bit of trivia <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f642.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)"  data-smilie="1"data-shortname=":)" /></blockquote>
