Gameplay[]
Jalaal at first appears as a Human Nobleman and refers the party to Adratha, not responding to additional conversation.
Jalaal transforms into his natural form to attack the party anytime Ihtafeer is attacked or she initiates hostilities due to having her disguise discovered or if she detects the filthy stink of the djinn upon the party. Jalaal and Ihtafeer are also aided by another Rakshasa in the group, named Saadat.
In combat when an enemy is detected it will move to engage in melee with its longsword.
Also, remember that the Rakshasa are immune to level 1 through 7 Power level effects.
