Chronology - Drahira the Mad Djinn

16th of Saris: Our heroes are on their way to Huzuz when they notice that the root of Midnight Darkness is rotting away, they have no choice but to perform the ritual that day. Saladin researches the ritual, Farooq uses the ships gold to make gold paint, Ramanhi makes an inventory and Ashira helps around with repairs. As a strong storm draws near, Saladin and Ashira uses the last of the reagents to perform the ritual. As the weather grows stronger, Farooq and Ramanhi come and help with the ritual, all heroes investing energy in the ritual. As the ritual draws to an end, a lightning bolt hits the ring.

As the ritual took them well in the night, the glowing ring breaks apart, freeing a djinn that called herself Drahira. She declares herself the bride of Efreet and to thank our heroes of freeing her so she can have her revenge on the fools who trapped her 500 years ago, she summons several air elemental. Even in their weakened state, our heroes dispatch the elemental menace. They elect to wait the next day to follow the mad djinn.

17th of Saris: The heroes take of in pursuit of Drahira, Farooq orders Ishooq, Saladin and Ashira to cast spells at the core to boost the speed of the airship as they fly towards the Pillar of Kor. The group cast their spells with an unexpected result, they fly at incredible speeds, almost loosing control of the airship and shaving off two days travel in the span of a few seconds. As they arrive at the base of the Pillar of Kor, they notice nine graves, recently dug up. As lightning strikes the tall Pillar, destroying some parts of the feeble stairs, making their climb even more challenging.

After a trying climb, they reach the top of the Pillar only to find the nine cursed priest have been raised and murdered already by a vengeful Drahira, who summons her Storm Archons and attack our heroes. Using teamwork and covering each other, our heroes weaken Drahira enough to bind her to the helmet that al-Hanif's descendant forged and the party finally gain the Helmet of the Wind. Our heroes climb back on the airship and head once again towards Golden Huzuz, in dire need of supplies and information before heading for the Ruined Kingdoms, to look for the City of the Dead.
