There's a tabaxi village located in the feywild. Thier leader made the mistake of making a deal with a glabrezu and wished for knowledge and in return got the whole village cursed. this happened quite a while ago and now one of my pc which is a tabaxi has gone out on a quest to find a way to defeat the glabrezu and lift the curse.
so here's where I need ideas
what sort of curse would befall the village ?
also what would be useful but challenging enough to find to defeat a glabrezu (but not overpower the pc. possibly something that's a one time use kind of item) that the pc would go in search for ?
What if the glabrezu wasn’t the one that cursed the village, but was just the reason it was cursed? So the tabaxi had been faithful worshippers of a particular deity. When their leader went to the glabrezu for wisdom instead of the deity, he cursed the whole lot of them with blindness to give physical manifestation to the nature of their blunder. (This assumes your PC isn’t from the village and subject the the curse they’re seeking to break.) The leader got the wisdom in the form of a Tome that he never had the chance to read before being blinded. It still has the magic in it. (As opposed to having be spent and not being usable again for 100 years.). If the PC can return the tome and get the glabrezu to give back whatever the leader gave to get it. (Maybe some valuable relic of the village deity.) and set the relic back in the shrine, the deity will lift the curse. Of course, the glabrezu will happily undo the deal—as part of a new deal with the PC.
that's a really great idea but my PC is a tabaxi and there's only one village of tabaxis since they're not a common race and are rare. though i might take your idea and modify it for another quest :D
