The Druun are not a world ender. Even though the audience would think that. Walls can block the Druun, as evidenced by the old lady pulling a trick and expecting a wall to keep the old lady safe. The Druun are numbered, and it isn't a high number (probably less than ten thousand, maybe less than a thousand). Water stops them, in tropical areas, water would be constantly falling. Possibly even killed if enough water is dropped onto a Druun.
The Druun can be sealed away indefinitely, all of them. Which is weird, because if they are a product of human discord new Druun should be appearing outside the seal all of the time.
One thing that might be a thing, is that any water poured upon the statues can undo the effect of the Druun.

Well looks like Jasmine won't be going speechless here.
In all seriousness she probably is going to appreciate this. As she once said:
Here Aladdin is showing that he's willing to follow her judgement on things.

Not sure I like the whole long distance relationship thing... Carpet is stupidly fast, losing a personal action probably wouldn't have been that bad.
That being said... regarding the scrying machine... what are we going to do with it? In the series and the movies it never came up... but a machine that just requires electricity to operate instead of actually possessing magic oneself is something we need to take into account....

The Mystic Blue Diamond is a vital component in the scrying device I'm afraid, so there is some magic at work. But yes, it is interesting that the scrying device never came up again.
Heh, not quite. Aladdin is a Prince as in a ruler of a Principality. So Cassim doesn't automatically become King if/when he and Aladdin are reunited.

Bluffing hard through introductions.
He was also pretty competent in the comics.

For proper context to the people that don't remember or haven't seen Aladdin the series, the Sultan started with taming wild horses at the royal stables from when he was nine or ten years old and went up from there.
Here's hoping we get god dice to help us

Aladdin shaded his eyes as the men emerged from the thickets that they'd been riding through on sturdy horses. No overly coiffed manes or tails, these horses were obviously used to hard work and loving every second of it. They'd changed mounts from their camels at an outpost after several days of riding. Aladdin was certain that the trip should have been much longer, but Dastan seemed to know shortcuts and hidden paths that drastically cut their travel time down.
Now, merely three days after saying farewell to the Princess and Sultan, Aladdin was returning to Ababwa... for the first time. The lush forests with sky-piercing trees, rolling hills and heavy underbrush were a massive change from the arid streets of Agrabah, or the fertile delta of the river that flowed next to the city. Rather than a river, Ababwa was near a large lake that had several smaller feeder streams feeding into it, and a larger river exiting, heading south for the sea. There were a few fishing boats on the water, but the vast majority of the city was focused on reaping the bounty of the thick vast forest that sat to its north and east, stretching far out of sight. Aladdin knew just by looking at it, that not only was it Old, but that Old Things dwelled there. It made the fact that the city gained the majority of it's trade goods from that same forest all the more impressive.
Their entry through the gates was without fanfare, the people in the street recognizing Aladdin and Dastan apparently and making way without the need of a crier or other declarations. The people in general seemed happy to see him, dressed in a spare set of robes to deal with the heat and the sun as they'd traveled. But there was also an undercurrent of confusion. Aladdin caught a few murmurs of "Where's the Princess"?
Aladdin caught his sigh, even as Abu patted his cheek. Jasmine had been glad to hear his acceptance of her terms. She had also seemed a bit surprised at his acceptance. Aladdin had caught the Sultan looking approving before he'd returned his attention to Razoul. There was a lot of trust that needed to be won back, but at least she wasn't shutting him out...
Aladdin was shaken from his musing as the group rode through a large gate, into a sprawling granite and timber structure. "The Royal Palace. Welcome home Prince." Home... Aladdin felt the weight of the dagger they'd retrieved on their way out of the city. Home was where the people you loved were. His mother had told him that after they'd been forced from their own home, before she... He pushed the thoughts away.
"Now your Highness, please; I fear that there is much to do already, even if you've only been gone a week. I'm sorry but there are many decisions that need to be made. The Ministers and General do their best but some things must be decided by you first." Aladdin grimaced.
"What about my whole... memory issue?" Dastan looked like he'd bit into a lemon and found half a worm to boot. Aladdin remembered absolutely nothing of Ababwa or the people who led it under him. He had been told that he had been wise enough to delegate duties to others to make sure he wasn't overwhelmed, but now Aladdin couldn't for the life of him remember the first thing about any of the people Dastan mentioned.
"Your Highness, we have two choices. One is to keep the facts of what happened as secret as possible. The people will be confused by your actions for a bit, and it may even stir some dissension. But it will keep any outsiders from learning of what happened to you. Alternatively, we can make an announcement. It will set the citizens at ease, but it will also mean that there may be those from outside Ababwa that try to test you, or even wrest power away from you perceiving a weakness."
Aladdin ran a hand through his hair. In the end...
-[][Prince] Keeping it secret was better overall, even if it caused some tensions with his people when he didn't act as they expected. Outside forces are much less likely to learn of Aladdin's condition.
-[][Prince] Make the announcement. The people will be sympathetic and will likely rally around their Prince. Outside forces may perceive this as a weakness to take advantage of.
Dastan nodded. "As you wish my Prince. Please, follow me." Aladdin followed Dastan though the palace; Abu on his shoulder as the two of them looked as the place in awe. Like the palace of Agrabah the palace here had an airy feel to it, with galleries and small gardens coming into and out of view. Aladdin passed many servants who all respectfully dipped their heads, but otherwise continued on their business.
Aladdin was shown into a large bedroom, furnished with wood and ivory. There was even an entire tree trunk, stripped of bark but otherwise with it's branches intact and small platforms on which Abu could rest or play. And opposite was an imposing desk of some kind of light-stained wood. Upon which were several documents in neat stacks. Dastan pointed to one side, indicating that it was his Aladdin's personal wash room, and that if he needed an attendant for anything to merely pull the rope off to one side, which would alert them to his need. And that if he needed his guards, there were a pair on duty outside his room at all times.
Aladdin sighed. A bath (a luxury he'd very much enjoyed at the palace in Agrabah), a change of clothes, and then he'd at least look at the paperwork rather than simply sleep like he wanted to. He was in charge, and that meant he couldn't just sit on his hands. Besides, maybe looking through the paperwork would help him figure out what he was supposed to be doing?

AN: If you do not choose to meet your advisors this turn, I will be doing the rolls in secret for their bonuses. You won't get any incompetants, but it's possible that they're just good at their jobs, or you could get a once-in-a-generation genius at their field.

Cost: 1000 gold

Chance of Success: 100%
Cost: 0
- [][Martial] Create a cadre of swordsmen
While archers and cavalry fighters are great for combat outside of cities, having soldiers specifically trained for fighting in more cramped quarters may come in handy. Order the creation of a platoon of soldiers to focus on their swordsmanship over their archery.

Genie set up Ababwa to be in an ideal spot, but just because the city is tapping into local resources doesn't mean that it's using all of the local resources available to their fullest potential. Have some people scout for untapped resources in the principality and protectorates.
Chance of Success: 35%
Cost: 1500 gold
- [][Stewardship] Expand trade district

Chance of success: 85%
Cost: 2000 gold
- [][Stewardship] Expand housing district
No one in Ababwa goes without a roof over their heads, that's one thing Genie made very sure of. But there are always people coming into the city; and some of them might wish to stay.

Chance of success: 85%
Cost: 2500 gold

Agrabah is a meeting point for many of the trade routes on the African continent; and as such not only does it receive a panoply of trade goods, it also collects information from the rest of Africa. Having a diplomatic office there means that not only will that information reach Ababwa faster, but your diplomats will be able to jump on opportunities as they arrive.
Chance of success: 75
Cost: 1500 Gold
- [][Diplomacy] Meet your Chief Diplomat (roll for how impressive they are)
Making sure that the Prince and the Chief Diplomat are on the same page will go a long way towards making sure the right hand knows what the left is doing. Otherwise conflicting and contradictory messages could be sent.
Chance of success: 100%
Cost: 0 Gold
- [][Diplomacy] Send Envoys to the (East/West/North/South)
--[] East: According to the maps you have the Hunnic States and the Silk Road lie in that direction. A good chance for profit! And to perhaps head off raids.
--[] West: going in the opposite direction puts diplomats on the road to Agrabah, and beyond that, Egypt and Maldonia!
--[] North: Northwards lies the Turks, and across the Meditteranean is another land that could make for great trading partners!
--[] South: Headed southwards on the other hand takes the diplomats to the sea, and from there it's either engage the services of a ship, or follow the coast to the south-west, plunging into the heart of the African continent.
Sometimes the outstretched hand is the better leadoff than the clenched fist. See if you can make diplomatic connections with any of your neighbors that you don't have already.
Chance of success: 65/50/35/10%
Cost: 1000 gold
- [][Diplomacy] Attempt to bring in nearby satraps as protectorates
Friends help friends, but sometimes a friend needs more help than you can give them as a friend. But if they joined you as a vassal they'd probably be able to get the help they needed. Attempts to convince the leadership of a friendly satrap to join as a protectorate under Ababwa's banner. Sets up a trade office, a diplomatic outpost, inserts spies and scouts the place for any resources that they may not have realized. Gains variable income, resources and possibly Hero characters.

Such as integrating magical creatures or beings into the kingdom in some manner. See if there's any hint to them to be found.
Chance of success: 40%

Chance of success: 100%/5%
- [][Personal] Visit Jasmine
While Jasmine wants to take things slow and do courtship by letter and correspondence, a bit of spontaneity is good for a relationship, right? Drop in on Carpet with a couple of Aladdin's personal guards. She may or may not be happy to see him though... Can affect relationship with Jasmine.
Chance of success: 100%
- [][Personal] Correspond with Jasmine
Better to stick to how Jasmine wished to conduct things. Pen her a letter, tell her about Ababwa and what's been happening. Barring any state secrets of course... Can affect relationship with Jasmine.

Chance of success: 55%
- [][Personal] Look into knowledge pertaining to People - You've a cheap sort of charm to you, but that's not going to cut it forever, especially now that you're in the big leagues.

Alright so I think this turn is the usual get advisor turn for now and also for one of our personal actions can we work on stewardship because oh boy is that skill useless to us right now. And I'm also for letting the people know about our memory issue as well.

-[][Prince] Keeping it secret was better overall, even if it caused some tensions with his people when he didn't act as they expected. Outside forces are much less likely to learn of Aladdin's condition.
It's better to keep this a secret for now, hopefully we can mitigate the worse effects by learning the ropes and keeping our advisors close
- [][Martial] Meet with your General (roll for how impressive they are)
While it's great that Aladdin's orders can be interpreted and carried out by his general; it might be a good idea to actually meet them in order to determine their personality and avoid conflicts.
- [][Stewardship] Expand trade district
The trade district for Ababwa is decently sized, but there's room to expand, and the new room may also draw in new merchants looking to get in on this lucrative market. (Increase in income by 500 gold per turn)
- [][Diplomacy] Establish a diplomatic embassy in Agrabah
Agrabah is a meeting point for many of the trade routes on the African continent; and as such not only does it receive a panoply of trade goods, it also collects information from the rest of Africa. Having a diplomatic office there means that not only will that information reach Ababwa faster, but your diplomats will be able to jump on opportunities as they arrive.
- [][Intrigue] Meet your Spymaster (roll for how impressive they are)
Who watches the watchmen? The Spymaster of course! But perhaps it'd be a good idea to get an eye on them as well...
-[] [Learning] Go learn how to be a prince, again.
You are apparently a wise, kind, and just ruler who is almost supernaturally capable in his abilities-Or at least, you were. Better go learn how to do what you did, so you can do it again before things start to take a turn for the worse! Takes 3 off of Stewardship malus
-[] [Magic] Try to find someone that knows about magic (roll for how impressive they are)
As Jafar and the Genie both demonstrated, magic can be an incredibly potent force for both good and evil. But at the moment Ababwa lacks anyone that can truly be held up as a magical protector. That needs to change, fast

Yay! It's alive! Welcome back, TempestK!
As for actions, meeting with out advisors seems like the best bet for this round. I would also suggest looking for a magical advisor, writing a letter to Jasmine, and the Diplomacy personal since we have a lot of people to meet.

Do you have a specific reason for telling the public about Aladdin's memory? Or is it just something you want to do?
I like telling the people, but it does possibly leave Ababwa vulnerable when the neighbors hear that Ababwa's prince is in a weaker position than expected.

Basically it's because regardless of what the people think, we don't know anything about them or how they think our relationship with them was. We are going in blind and are going to stumble around till we get our footing.
Therefore, I feel it's best to be more or less honest with them. Something happened in Agrabah and now our memories are messed up and we don't remember being the prince.
This will solidify support and sympathy from the people now when we need it most. Mistakes will be forgiven, we can get our footing, and the people won't be upset with us.
It sucks that outside forces might see us as weak but our immediate problem is that we are suddenly in charge of a kingdom, so domestic issues need to be dealt with first.
We will just have to deal with any external threats as they come, with a loyal populace at our backs.
