Hmmmm, perhaps it was my imagination then or I mixed it up somewhere when I read Unapproachable East (perhaps mixing Thayan tieflings with mulhorandi ones or such). Anyways I feel bit dumb OOC realizing that Adrian should not be that much surprised and he should know IC what thayan tiefling will do when she sees a red robed mage who speaks in thayan accent.<br/><br/>So perhaps slow wit day for Adrian and he likely tries address Ghaazala's snarky attitude towards him in more suitable time than in sewers (mention that red wizards are assholes even to their own apprentices, including blowing and expending them in magic rituals and Adrian just bolted out by stealing mentor's robe and ran fast and far as he could in Faerun away from him, so they actually share some thing in common although origins differ). Also mention it was forced to become apprentice as he lived with his uncle at the time; as red wizards literally grab any casting able child to be tutored into magic so they get further 'fodder' or 'spell batteries' for circle magic.
