Overview
Keshma al-Wazir is a dao (earth genie) imprisoned in a stoppered bottle by Acererak centuries ago. The bottle rests on a table in an alcove within a cobweb-filled corridor (area 23).
Appearance & Behavior
Keshma can be seen waving from within the bottle and her muffled voice calls out to passersby. She speaks only Terran while trapped, but can cast tongues once released to communicate more broadly.
Interactions
Initially, Keshma orders characters to release her. If they refuse, she attempts to bargain with them for her freedom. While imprisoned in the bottle, she cannot attack or cast spells, making negotiation her only option.
After Release
When the bottle is broken or unplugged, Keshma emerges in a whirlwind of sand. She fulfills whatever promises she made in exchange for her freedom, then attempts to cast plane shift to return to the Elemental Plane of Earth. However, this escape attempt fails due to the tomb’s magic, and she becomes trapped in area 57 instead.
