Badr the Bad Report

General Summary

When we found our heroes they were surveying the destruction left by war. One guide was dead and another friend was missing. But a voice called out in the desert. A caller for Khalitharius and for Badr Al-Mosak called out, demanding that people leave or submit to the will of Khalitharius be annihilated.   Our party fought him, eventually knocking him out and taking him prisoner. Kinborrow Sorrowblade. They interrogated him and learn that Khalitharius was building something in the desert and that Badr Al-Mosak is planning on attacking the oasis again.   They took him to see Sheik Hassan Arslan and while they were on the way they're met by the captain of the guard of the Sandvoyagers who takes Grimogall Varangr & Thallan aside and thanked them for not murdering his soldiers and gave them gifts, the Amulet of Friendly Fire and the Amulet of the Scorpion.   When they saw the sheik they found that he, his son, and Alicia Saltdaughter are alive but their desire to fight is fleeting. Once they have the princess, they plan on retreating to the cities leaving the desert behind them. Grim told him of the death of his son and while he was grateful that evil had been dealt with, he ordered Grim to leave and to never return.   They decided to set course for Badr Al-Mosak and to find the princess but as they prepared to leave the Sheik's tent a swan floated overhead and offered Thallan a black mango. He bit into it and was swept into a vision. Upon returning, every hero felt strong once he returned.   While they prepared for their journey they made their way back to Happy's place where they ate, drank, and were given Happy's Knockers and Unlockers. A bardic rivalry got out of hand and Roland the minstrel was convinced to attempt to open a chest belonging to happy, after being convinced by Merosh  and his speech on privacy. Roland was knocked unconscious and nearly died, but was saved.   The journey began in full and as they traveled they saw a giant tortoise which they checked out and found a traveling magical oasis and several escaped slaves, one of whom knew Jamis.   As they approached the Crypt of Badr Al-Mosak two enormous birds rose up off the ground and began to make their way toward our flying friends. And that was where our story ended.
