Extra

The entrance to the Forest of the Jinn is covered with bitter briars. A single scratch, and your mind is drowned in its worst pains. [s2.name] parts the thorns with cautious hands, clearing the way. At the path’s end, the flowering branches stir, twisting like hungry serpents, but Jabal seizes them with his bare hands.

He weeps long after the party's escape. But he does not share what the thorns made him remember.

Result:

A tiny jinn the size of a pea stops the adventurers, demanding a wrestling match with not just one but two of you at a time.

He plays with the party's strongest warriors as if they were toys.

Suddenly, [s3.name] seizes an opportunity and stabs the jinn's bulging belly – the jinn deflates like a balloon, and is blown away in a spray of foul-smelling gas. The expedition seizes this chance to proceed.
