Is Jalaiya a canon Disney character because I can't find her? Also, what happened with The Princess and the Frog? Because a straight win would have Facilier being out of debt and Lawrence getting away with impersonating Naveen. But the victories here are more of the pyrrhic kind. So anyone has a guess on what happened with that?

She is not.
An earlier Rival Report mentioned two sons, and a new daughter by marriage, which suggests they pulled off the marriage but were forced to flee.

Thanks you two! Still, I want to know who is who? Is that the real Naveen or just Lawrence in disguise? I am just trying to find that hidden twist. The thing that made things more favorable for the bad guy.

There's a hint in the posts talking about Maldonia. It's a subtle one, but it'll tell you who came back.

Unless it get's revealed. Whoever they are do not matter to us. Maybe they are in Ababwa on a occult search roll. Maybe it's a new player to the region. The players are not going to seek them out.
edit: Could be Atlantis or a cthullu beast. Probably a cthullu beast.

Aladdin groaned as he considered the newest problems facing him. The North was in complete shambles, the common folk left to rot while the rich and powerful watched them die from on high as they swilled wine and stuffed themselves with rich food. At least not everyone he'd run into had been like that. The Elite Global Huntsman's Club had proven to be... amicable, even if one of their members nearly got his arm broken when he attempted to give Schezrehade a far too familiar pat as she was leaving a room he was entering.
The others at least were more respectful, and the Lady Waltham had been to speak with his chief Diplomat several times, occasionally bringing with her a small girl with wide inquisitive eyes and pale fair hair named Alice. A rescue, the Lady had taken to looking after her. The child was meek and tended to fall back into the background, but like all children Abu was able to easily get a laugh out of her with some antics, and an offer of a (slow and low) carpet ride had been met with wide-eyed amazement.
Aladdin could only hope that the coming months gave him the same kind of awed wonder. At the good luck he hoped to have in dealing with everything!

OK, plan at a glance:
- [][Martial] Take What You Can
It's obvious that the chieftains and princes controlling the Northern Satraps are in over their heads. Their forces can't seem to contain or counter the bandits and marauders that plague their people. So perhaps it's time someone else stepped in. Send your forces to occupy and protect the Satraps, both to get the people on your side, and as a show of force to their rulers. Will bring in the Northern Satraps as territories, allows them to be made into protectorates.
DC: 40 (+17+10=+27, 87% chance of success)
Cost: 2000 Gold, 1000 Gold Upkeep per turn to keep the territories occupied and defended until the Satraps become protectorates, and the army is expanded to cover the territory.
Unlocks new options, new income sources.
EASY gain, and that situation needs resolved sooner rather than later.
- [][Stewardship] One Stop Shop
It appears that the Hunter's Guild isn't as bad as they had seemed. And their hunts apparently tend to yield some very interesting hides, horns and other miscellaneous parts of various creatures that could be valuable or prove of interest to Chiron or the Mage. Maybe allow them to make Ababwa a port of call and a resupply stop? Allows intermittent visits from the Hunter's Guild and the possibility of buying rare or valuable items and artifacts from them.

Apparently Leah's power is something known as Druidism, an innate connection to the land, especially plants and animals. Have the mage focus on training her to utilize this power in a more controlled fashion. Makes progress towards Leah being an independent Hero unit.

Cade's research has uncovered clues leading to the potential resting place of the Mao Kun Map, a mystical document that uses Feng Shui and the Harmony of the Leylines to trace routes to various mystical treasures and places of power. Whoever has the Map right now may also have other valuables they can be relieved of as well! Maximum of 4 heroes to a team

I think the version with the guild is probably better, given that it's a relatively time limited opportunity.

I'm against the adventure till we can fill that last spot.
I think people wanted to hold off on heart shaped herb till Leah could take it though I'm okay with it.
Other than that it looks fairly solid. Just need to figure out what to do with the heros if they aren't going on the adventure.
Alternatively, Green Thumb is just DC 50, it's an easy win and helps with future actions.
For personals, I would of course suggest correspond with Jasmine for Aladdin's second Personal.
For Will, one of these two:
- [][Will Personal] Missing the Sea
Will's melancholy is getting to many of the advisors. Perhaps a trip to the shore would be just the thing to help perk him up? May provide Will with insight or information he can't get out of a book.
Intrigue DC: 65
- [][Will Personal] Sextant in hand
With a reference point found, Will has begun mapping out exactly how far away from the location of the Black Pearl's demise he ended up. He's willing to wager that since he and Elizabeth were close to one another as the boat was swamped she may have ended up somewhere nearby.
Learning DC: 70
And for Iago,
- [][Iago Personal] Wallowing in the Lap of Luxury
Iago's used to the Palace of Agrabah, he lived there for years after all. But Ababwa is an entirely new experience. He's intent on making sure he knows every nook and cranny of the place as well as he knew his old haunts. Familiarizes Iago with Ababwa.

These are my current plans, more or less the same as what I meant to do last round. Sending the hunters after the Dreaded One ain't a terrible idea but lower priority than expanding our influence at the moment - remember, the Dreaded One is going to be laid up injured a little while anyhow, and once we've established Ababwa as their port of call with One Stop Shop we'll be able to send them dragonslaying later on, so it isn't a hugely time-sensitive thing.

Did we get any new actions because of the crabs from last round?
I don't think I saw anything new related to the salt lake.

We might also have competition very soon for influence within Persia if the Southern Satraps consolidate into a kingdom, and I'd rather make sure we're securely the top dog before they do. I'd ideally like to keep friendly relations with any new southern kingdom, but we know nothing about this lady, and the south is pretty Lovecraftian, so even if we don't plan on invading I'd still like to be in a stronger position than them.

I'd also keep the Adventure for next turn when we have Leah unlocked. That means we can send all four heroes on it. [I'm going to make edits to the other plan.]
[] Great Preparation, and the Northern Rep
- [][Martial] Take What You Can
It's obvious that the chieftains and princes controlling the Northern Satraps are in over their heads. Their forces can't seem to contain or counter the bandits and marauders that plague their people. So perhaps it's time someone else stepped in. Send your forces to occupy and protect the Satraps, both to get the people on your side, and as a show of force to their rulers. Will bring in the Northern Satraps as territories, allows them to be made into protectorates.
DC: 40 (+17+10=+27, 87% chance of success)
Cost: 2000 Gold, 1000 Gold Upkeep per turn to keep the territories occupied and defended until the Satraps become protectorates, and the army is expanded to cover the territory.
Unlocks new options, new income sources.
EASY gain, and that situation needs resolved sooner rather than later.
- [][Stewardship] One Stop Shop
It appears that the Hunter's Guild isn't as bad as they had seemed. And their hunts apparently tend to yield some very interesting hides, horns and other miscellaneous parts of various creatures that could be valuable or prove of interest to Chiron or the Mage. Maybe allow them to make Ababwa a port of call and a resupply stop? Allows intermittent visits from the Hunter's Guild and the possibility of buying rare or valuable items and artifacts from them.

The Hunter's Guild hunts monsters. Xiang Wu has a specific monster problem. Let's play middle-man and make some connections. The Hunter's Guild dispatches in an attempt to kill the Dreaded One. Improved relations with Hunter's Guild and Xiang-Wu, removal of major threat to Xiang-Wu.

According to Chiron, ever since the Great Disturbance, the stars themselves don't even look right.

Interesting write-in. I'll allow it.
Yes, it's just not as constant. Basically instead of marking time on your calendar to write to Jasmine at the end of each week, you'd be writing to her when it occurs to you to do so.
Alright, added in the two new options. One for Stewardship, one for Learning.
I love it! I'll be happy to vote for this plan for this turn.

Making Protectorates of the Western Satraps via Diplomacy seems a bigger priority than sending the hunters to gank a dragon right now, and we get a lot more out of it than goodwill from already-allied powers!
The situation with our neighbors and the corresponding DCs can change turn by turn, and we have a perfect opportunity right now that might not last - the Westerners might return to strength and become too difficult to diplomatically vassalize, they might collapse entirely if things keep going poorly, or the new Southern Kingdom might start expanding counter to us while we're fussing over a dragon hundreds of miles away and become a rival we can't avoid a war with.
Let's keep our focus at home for the time being and get ourselves some much-needed security.
