The Ekbirrian Job/ La Mission ekbirienne - Le Monde de Greyhawk

Caliphate of Ekbir. The question of the legitimatepower in Dezbat may lead to a serious internal crisisin the Caliphate when the dark events of 577 arerevealed.For another evening, Tusmit will be quiet. Butcomes morning, when the news reaches Sefmur. Itseems peace is something that Tusmit won’t knowfor another year.The PCs earn the “Unaligned” AR Reward. No oneoffers them any money, when you don’t choose yourfriends, you make none.FailedIf the PCs didn’t arrive in Dwur’Ayhand with theprincess and the Qadi, then they have clearly failed.Read or paraphraseAs evening falls upon Tusmit, you can see a numberof men riding out in all directions. “Dihn has joinedthe rebels!” or “Jadhim has returned!” They shout.In the Sheik’s palace in Dihn, Jadhim-Orem, formerPasha of Tusmit has returned to reclaim his throne.A white flag with three stars flies atop the palace inDihn. For another evening, Tusmit will be quiet.But comes morning, when the news reachesSefmur... It seems peace is something that Tusmitwon’t know for another year.If the PCs attacked Jadhim, they earn themselves the“Enmity of Jadhim-Orem”, they also earn themselvesthe “Unaligned” AR Reward.If they were bound by a quest spell to escort thePrincess and failed to do so through their ownchoosing, they get both “Oathbreaker” and“Untrustworthy”. PCs (paladins & priests of Al’Akbar)who simply swore get the “Untrustworthy”.CrimesIf the PCs killed a noble during the adventure, theQadis or the princess report their crimes to the localauthorities. They are prosecuted to the fullest extent ofthe law (they angered people with more influence thanthem). Remember attacking a Qadi is a very seriousoffense. Ishmal al-Qadi is a nobleman, but notMoussef.If they were first hired by Ishmal al-Qadi but then laterturned upon his employer, the PCs are found guilty oftreason or spying for working for either the princess orthe Caliph or working with Elohir (a wanted criminal).Their crimes are willingly exaggerated (unlike the twoQadi, Jadhim-Orem is not above getting even andexaggerating a little).DO NOT show mercy on your players, they messed upand deserve to pay for their stupidity. Refer toAppendix Four: The Law in Northern Tusmit for a listof potential violation. Note that any fines must be paidBEFORE the condemned is put to death.Ishmal and MoussefIf the two Qadi promised the PCs they would returnwith them to Blashikdur, then they do so without fuss.A promise must be honored. They are promptlyreturned to the Holy City of Ekbir.Obviously, Jadhim does not keep any such promise hemay have made. He stays in Dwur’Ayhand and anyrequests to uphold his promise is countered by a laugh.“The princess promised, not me.”The EndExperience Point SummaryTo award experience for this adventure, add up thevalues for the objectives accomplished.
