Four half-elven children were sitting by the fountain in the center of Sothis. Qualzar approached. "Have you been having fun on your vacation?" They all cheered. Qualzar beamed. "Everyone has fun at the Whimsical World of Qualzar the Wondrous!"
But then the eldest child added, "Although I think our parents have been arguing a lot." Qualzar looked over to the other side of the fountain, where a human and elf were having a heated dispute with a gnome. He took a closer listen.
"175 gold for a picture?" the elf was saying. "Look here, Mr. Hoppert. That can't be right."
The gnome cleared his throat. "Ah, ahem, er, as a matter of fact, it is 175 gp *per child* pictured." He held up a piece of parchment, showing the four half-elves riding in miniature pyramids. Each pyramid bounced up and down while moving around a central pylon. "So that would be 700 gp."
"700 gp?!" The human stamped in anger. "That's ridiculous. We certainly won't be paying such an outrageous sum!"
The elf sighed. "Just pay the gnome, dear." This clearly was not the first time they had had this argument. Reluctantly, the human pulled out a small purse, counted out some coins, and handed them over. Hadden bowed and scurried off.
The human turned to the elf. "700 gp for a picture. 1400 gp for the ride. Another 1400 gp to ride Darago's Spooky Mansion. 900 gp at the Rat-a-tat Rat Arcade. 2600 gp for admission to Lini's petting zoo. 4000 gp for aura readings at E & H. 12000 for lunch reservations at Gronk's Grub. 1250 for sweets at Cogsnap's Clever Candied Concoctions, including souvenir candy dishes..."
"The price gouging is outrageous!" the elf interrupted, but then sighed. "But what can we do?"
Qualzar whispered to the children. "I know what would cheer everyone up!" He conjured a flyer. "Nemsky's All-New Pyrotechnic Fireworks Extravaganza is starting soon!" The kids all looked excited. "See, seats are still available! Go on, go tell your parents!"
The half-elves ran over and showed the advertisement. The elf read, "...Seats are still available for 400 gp, 1100 gp for front row..." The human gave a tired groan, the elf gave pained cry. But the sorcerer watched them all depart in the direct of the amphitheatre.
Qualzar laughed and laughed and laughed. "Tourist trap!" His adventuring days might be over, but some things would never change. "Classic!"

“The best way to let people know it’s safe again will be to hang a giant banner up there.” Qualzar pointed to the top of the ruined Canny Jackal. The sorcerer opened a locked chest and took out a wrapped parcel of food, giving it to Abdallah. “A bite of this should let you do it!”
The commander looked at the food dubiously. “What is it?”
The impeller smiled. “I call it a can-flag ration.”

Qualzar strode back into the Canny Jackal triumphantly, but the establishment was empty. "What are you doing here?" asked a tall, important-looking commander. "Everyone has been ordered to shelter in place for the duration of the crisis."
The gnome was taken aback. He craned his neck up at the human, the crown glinting on his head. "And who are you to give orders to Qualzar the Unstoppable?"
The commander was unperturbed. "I'm Commander Abdallah. And I don't care who you are. Everyone must follow these orders. This is not a negotiation."
The impeller rolled his sleeves up past the fancy golden armband, and let out a cackle. "Challenge accepted."

"Well, someone's got to jump in after Darago," announced Qualzar. Khai-Utef was speechless at this act of selflessness, and was further speechless as the sorcerer explained. "You see, he jumped in first. So that makes this the crucial second vault!"

Out from the darkness a hiss greeted Qualzar, and a crowned naga emerged to try to strike. "You cannot interfere with the Unholy First!"

Qualzar tested his jokes on the tiny beetles, miniature versions of Ulunat, which swarmed through the cavernous maw, breaking down everything Ulunat swallowed.

He pointed at the aghash. "...To dye!" The aghash charged at the impeller, bracing itself as it hit the magical barrier- only to pass through surprisingly easily. The div stopped, unharmed but utterly puzzled. The glowing red wall was not made of flames, but rather... "Paint?"
Qualzar was rolling on the ground in hysterics as the aghash stood there cluelessly, a bright red target that proved impossible for Skizza to miss. "Classic!"

Ahriman's spirit made one final effort, possessing a sepid and akvan who attempted to wrest control of the sky-pyramid. "Excuse me, the captain has not turned off the fasten seatbelt sign," said Qualzar, forcing the sepid to sit passively in the corner. The sorcerer laughed and munched on some peanuts, but quickly spit it out. "And what's the deal with sky-pyramid food? Flight attendant! Bring me a nice cold drink." The possessed akvan brought the gnome an icy glass of an effervescent blue liquid. "Mmm, first class!"
Guided by clockwork wings, the sky-pyramid gracefully leveled off, touching down safely outside Sothis. "Be sure to gather all your possessions and prepare to disembark." Qualzar beckoned to the possessed divs and they obediently fell in line, with Ahriman's powerless spirit helplessly trapped. "Thank you for flying Pyramid Air!"

Qualzar saw a button labeled with but a single word: "Ra." The gnome gasped. He'd heard rumors of this god-crafted trap, but to actually get to experience it? Only the steadiest hand could disarm it, a tough task under normal circumstances; and a plummeting sky-pyramid was certainly not normal. There was nothing to do but enjoy the explosion of solar energy. And Qualzar did. "That... was... awesome!"

Seemingly oblivious to the solar scorching which had just happened, Qualzar wiped his brow. "It's getting hot in here, isn't it?" He didn't realize that the droplets on his forehead weren't condensation from the mist, but rather beads of fevered sweat.

Banishing Remove Curse to recovery to banish Curse of the Ravenous
There was a deafening crash, as a lightning bolt from struck a giant tree, awakening the plant monster. The sorcerer leeched out the sard’s sap, returning it to dormancy, only to let out a distressed wail. Not because the lifeless tree was now crashing downward toward the rest of the party. No, Qualzar was upset at having to eat vegetables. “Gross.” But at least he wasn’t hungry any longer.

Hadden Hoppert: Trading Weapon 4 Giantbane Dagger +1 for Spell 5 Icy Prison
With the help of a magical scarab, Qualzar shook off the mummy’s curse, just as Mnesoset made her warning. The gnome clapped his hands. “Ah, escape artistry: how will the div get out of the sky-pyramid? Classic!” But the sorcerer thought it would be even more entertaining if the daring escape just happened to be spoiled by an extra imprisonment spell, courtesy of Hadden.
In the meantime, Qualzar popped out the eyes of the Ahriman statue, pearls of black magic, using one to enchant a robe with true sight. “Don’t want to miss a thing!” Then he settled in to watch, seemingly unconcerned with the plummet.

Seeing Darago, Qualzar momentarily forgot about his preoccupation with his throne. “What a hilarious idea! Self-immolation!” The sorcerer mimicked the wizard, surrounding himself with flames which cleared the throne room of the last remaining undead, but also left Qualzar’s head uncomfortably warm.

The sorcerer corrected him with a force spell that splattered the ghost everywhere. "As I said: the fighting can begin!" A billowing cloud of smoke punctuated his proclamation.

The gnome examined the arena as his foe entered. "This outer circle of magical runes will damage any combatant who unsportingly tries to run out of the arena." Qualzar contemplated his opponent, a rukh. "What if someone tries to fly out of the arena?" A mental domination spell allowed him to test out the theory, resulting in avian shrieks of pain.
Kafar clapped. "Two out of three?" Qualzar obliged, manipulating the rukh back and forth over the edge of the arena until it expired.
"This means I advance to the final round!" The sepid emerged, with a powerful strike that forced Qualzar over the boundary- or it would have, if the gnome didn't misty step behind the div. "I watch over all! There is no escaping the gaze of Qualzar the Champion!" Furious at the curse, the sepid whirled around to face the gnome, who merely chuckled at how easily his opponent had left himself exposed to a forceful blast from Skizza.
The laurel of victory was sweet.

While following the party back to the altar of wishes, Qualzar put the finishing touches on a pair of mechanical owls. “If you can’t beat them, manipulate them into doing your bidding, eh?” he said, monologuing to know one in particular. The sorcerer had undertaken a quick study of animatronic crafting, although he had had to temporarily dismiss his familiar; Little Q’s instincts influenced by his master’s disdain of constructs had caused the feline to savagely destroy the first few creations Qualzar had attempted. “But this is the best part,” he continued. With an arcane flourish, the gnome inserted a key and stepped back, as one of the clockwork birds transformed into a very much alive and snarling velociraptor. The sorcerer burst out laughing. “Get it? An owl is a bird of prey. A raptor!”

As soon as Darago gave the all-clear, Qualzar bounced up to the crocodile hall, which was overrun with scarabs. "Little Q can make a ro-dent in this population." Protected by the pharaonic amulet, the impeller clumped the beetles together into clusters that looked like mice, which the feline familiar feasted on.

Qualzar's chaos threatened to spill a vast pool of acid precariously positioned in the center of the hall, but the gnome found a switch that drained the liquid into a crocodile statue. At the bottom of the pool was a magic staff.

The sorcerer wasted no time, immediately challenging an thunder elemental. Even weakened by Skizza's shots, the elemental rushed through Qualzar's walls of fire, and the gnome was lost amid the cloud. And then both disappeared into the sulfurous pits. For a moment, it was as still as the grave.
But only a moment. From above came Qualzar's unmistakeable giggling. The elemental's recoil had sent the gnome flying safely upward, away from the treacherous pit. "*Set*tle down, now."

"How dare they usurp the sky pyramid of Qualzar the Dominant!" The gnome's megalomania was out in full force. Also out in force was a permanent shield spell, which Qualzar devised by cannibalizing the aegis of recovery.
Hadden rummaged through some scrolls, looking for something helpful. "Perhaps you can have predictions of the your enemies' demise come true?" He held out a divination spell.
Qualzar nodded and accepted the scroll. "Yes, yes! I can create visions of their ruin by demonstrating on their henchmen."

Qualzar was not wasting any time, immediately harnessing the awesome power at his fingertips. The obelisk below began firing up. Neither the klaxon's going off nor the girtablilu guard that was summoned could interrupt him. If anything, the audience only made him more excited. With some dramatic mist for mood, Qualzar ascended onto the sky pharaoh's throne.

"Good news!" declared Qualzar, in a tone that Estra would likely interpret as anything but. "With Hadden's assistance, I have successfully developed a contingency plan in case Estra should be possessed again. Gnomish Spiritualism!" Without waiting for a reply, the sorcerer explained further. "I can use my sorcery to imagine a vision of some dear departed dead relative, to deceive a vulnerable family member!"
Nemsky popped up. The sorcerer's apprentice had learned some sage wisdom while away. "But Qualzar, Estra has had years of practice perfecting her craft. Surely you can't emulate our spiritual counselor that perfectly. The family member will surely think your vision is part of some scam."
Qualzar clapped his hands. "Precisely, Gnomish Spiritualism! The victim knows they are being snowed."

"A box of bubble wrap?" His worry quickly turned to joy. "It's just what I wanted!" The sorcerer went to the sulfur pits and used acid to etch "Happy Zimzanzubmas" onto his dagger, then magically flung the blade back to Hadden Hoppert.

About Morgan Allegretti
About Morgan:
Morgan loves seeing new sights and meeting new people. More than that though, she loves finding treasure, whether it's from delving into a catacomb to find ancient secrets and long lost artifacts, or appropriating wealth from those who don't deserve it and putting it to better use... and honestly, who better to use it than herself?
At the start of this campaign, Morgan had never seriously considered being a pirate, hoping instead to be an explorer of ancient tombs and ruins. Don't worry though, she'll soon realize that the same thrill can be had when plundering ship to ship, with the added bonus of being at sea!
Backstory:
Morganna Allegretti
Morganna "Morgan" Allegretti was born to a pair of adventurers. They were members of the famed Pathfinder society, and they travelled the world together, seeking fame, treasure, and adventure. They took their young daughter with them on their travels, of course leaving her behind in town when exploring ancient tombs and the like. It was on one such journey into the Sargavan wilderness that they disappeared, never to be heard from again. Morganna was left to the care of a friend of theirs, an elderly wizard who considered himself something of a scholar and had been with them on several adventures in the past. He moved several times to keep up with his research, but always stayed by coastal towns since he noticed that Morganna had a love for the sea and ships.
She spent much of her teenage years on the docks, listening to stories and picking up skills from the passing sailors. She always hoped to hear news of her parents, perhaps of their return, or anything of their ill-fated expedition. In the coming years, she worked on honing her skills so that one day she could go out and uncover lost treasures herself. For a time she fell in a with a gang of thieves, working as a lookout. She learned a little magic from her caretaker and swordplay from sailors. As a younger teen, it annoyed her that some sailors wouldn't take her seriously because she was a girl, so she adopted a more androgynous look and started going by "Morgan." As she got older, she dropped the disguise but kept the nickname.
Morganna set out to sea three months ago, hired onto a small merchant vessel as a mercenary and ship hand. She caught on quickly to the trade. The ship took damage in a storm though, and took to the nearest harbor of Port Peril. Although she enjoyed the break, Morganna yearned to be back at sea soon. It seems she got what she wished for. The second night, as she visited the docks to watch the sun set over the waves, she felt a ringing blow to her head and everything suddenly went black.
