Chronology - Update

10th of Nau: The group arrives at Qadib. After passing through the security check point where Farooq is advised not to stir trouble and learning that the Mosque of Jauhar under construction was destroyed and the Imam killed. They meet up with Saladin's clergy at the Mosque of Zann where Saladin receives the items he found on an adventure, approved by his church. Farooq is given the holy symbol of the Imam that was killed. After a quick stop at the barber, the group goes to the magical den, their hold hanging spot in the city. After a quick meal, Farooq heads off to check on Julnar, his third wife. After a quick discussion with Julnar about her safety, the couple retire in her quarters.

11th of Nau: Ramanhi, Saladin and Ishooq wake up with a note on their pillow, obviously left by holy slayers asking them to bring the Frozen Flame of Kossuth to the Pier at 10 at night on the docks. The group informs Farooq when he comes back and they come up with a plan to ask help from the Caliph. After a quick stop to the magic district, our heroes take a flying carpet ride to the Mosque district, to follow up on the Imam of Zann.

The Imam reveals that the shield is part of a set that completes the scimitar already in the possession of Ramanhi. It is theorized that when all the items are reunited, their magic would increase. The Imam also informs them that the docks are not officialy part of the town and therefore, not subject to the curfew and current law against the followers of Jisan and Jauhar. He also tells them he would try to get them an audience with the Caliph. Julnar informs Farooq that she could not arrange such a meeting but Ramanhi learns that his boat finally arrived at the dock.

Ramanhi is reunited with his faithfull cohort under the leadership of captain Bulwar and he gladly informs his master that they did a nice profit for the last month. Ramanhi orders Bulwar to restock the boat and also collects a few magical items to sell in Qudra since the rumor of the mamluks being called to get more implicated in the holy war. The group gets ready to square off against the brotherhood of the true flame for the last time, they hope.

As night come, the group is called out of their boat by Mutamin, still escorted by his two elven maidens bodyguard. After dispatching his shadow assasins, the group tells no deal to Mutamin and battle insues. The twins get dispateched rather quickly and Ramanhi got his hands full with Mutamin. In the end, Ramanhi delivers the fatal blow by decapitating Mutamin, sending his head in the river. As the battle comes to an end, the group notices a boat bearing the flag of Jisan approching the bank. Saladin calls Aliya to fetch a fireball. As the boat gets near the bank, the fog is getting thicker and as soon as Saladin gets his fireball, Farooq instructs him to fire it at the boat. As the fireball comes alive in his hands and darts off toward the boat, the party hears running footsteps closing from inland...
