Hello, Gents. If you have any questions or thoughts and so forth regarding the campaign (or pretty much anything), feel free to voice them here.
This whole module has been telegraphing Dashki's treachery from the start. That makes me think it's a red herring and that Dashki's actually just misunderstood.
I guess we'll see what comes from this midnight raid though, won't we?
I'm also extremely curious about Garavel. He was always so stoic and absolutely emotionless, at least until our late night conversation with Almah after we encountered Beshvi, that I was beginning to suspect he'd been dominated or otherwise enchanted.

He's supposed to be absolutely emotionless. Him slamming his fist on the door was a mistake on my part, but I'm pretending he did it as a calculated maneuver, not out of emotion.
There's a very specific reason for his stoicism - it's quite interesting.
That is one thing which I will openly admit that you absolutely accel at as a DM - communicating subtle details. I've seen especially in this AP, with the pugwampis, Dashki, Garavel - you've gotten across more than just their dialogue, but rather their behaviors. It makes the game very compelling for me, because I know things are going on in the background and I want to find out what it is!
While I'm on the topic of things you do outstandingly well behind the screen, nobody roleplays birds better than you. You are the best. In the world.
I am finding that I appreciate each of our different strengths as DMs more and more as I get older.
My inspiration for birds came from seeing Ryan Stiles imitate one in Whose Line is it, Anyway?. Thank you for the encouragement. Communicating subtleties is something that I make an effort to do, rather than just telling you outright or after the fact. Personally, I get more satisfaction out of it and I'm glad that you do, too.
Man! I knew Dashki was going to be out here! I cannot be held responsible if Ahnekhet fills him with arrows.

You can be, and you will be.
So... when Ahnekhet finds out about what Siraaj just heard, I think he will almost hate Dashki more than he does gnolls. Almost. Enough to give me pause when considering whether to take fey or human as his next favored enemy.
In all seriousness though, I am also strongly considering having his next favored enemy selection be influenced by Vardishal. Would there be a suitable enemy type that Vardishal would have encountered frequently in that ancient war?
Ahhh HA! Dashki isn't an expert on gnolls, he's a gnoll with levels in expert! We've been tricked!

Outsiders. Of the lawful, evil, or fire variety.

Noted. I will probably go with outsiders (fire), but lawful isn't something I'd normally consider, so I'm considering it.
IX?! IX?! That's way beyond your level!
IX didn't work, either. Better go with both, and maybe throw in the ability to invert your eyelids, and upgrade to X.
X?! X?! Whoa... such spell slots don't even exist. Talk about intense.
Ok.
Here goes nothing.
...
Still nothing, eh?
Steve, I think your avatar for The Desert Sage looks like you. It entertains me so much, that I want to see if I can find you that headband thingie.
