Once upon a time..

1.1
Two creatures with an exceptionally stocky build march with purpose to their destination. A typical Karamhul, they stand 4 to 4 1/2 feet in height and are heavily armored. But there the resemblance ends. One is male, and marches towards the entrance of an underground complex in Barniere. The other is female, and walks through the streets of Ansien in Elinie, to meet with a local noble that has offered to hire her.
In Barniere, the trip below ground is a short one. The lair of whatever plagued the locals seems empty. The few clay constructs that guard the complex are dealt with rather quickly. And a quick scan of the rest of the complex, confirmed the Karamhul that the place was empty and devoid of life. So, on to the next mission..
To the west, the meeting with the noble was short. They did not have much gold to spare, or wasn't willing to part with it, but what they said spiked her interest. So she went in for the challenge instead of the meagre paycheck. Finding the Djinn ended up being way easier as expected, but defeating it turned out to be more complicated. The fight was challenging, but just before the Karamhul was able to deliver the striking blow, the vile creature summoned up a whirlwind and fled. But the time the Karamhul had recovered, the creature was long gone. And worse, a boatload of other 'adventurers' were looking for it..
