Sorry if this isn't a good place to post this but I'm writing a book at the moment and one of the characters is Pakistani, I just wanted to make sure that the families names made sense and was wondering if anyone could tell me if these are accurate?

The book is set in Britain (Birmingham) in the 90's. The family are -

- Basheer Zaman (father, 1st gen immigrant)

- Kaniz Zaman (mother, 1st gen immigrant)

- Ahmed Zaman (son, born in the UK)

- Hiba Zaman (daughter, born in the UK)

- Ayesha Zaman (daughter, born in the UK)

- Maryam Zaman (daughter, born in the UK)

Is there anything inaccurate in there and do they sound like a cohesive family?

Very appreciative of anyone who can help :) Thank you!

My players have been tasked with finding a magical ruby in an ancient temple, which is currently being used to effectively cast a modified Forbiddance spell over the area (targeting undead). I thought it would be cool if when they go to grab it, they are transported to a vision and need to prove they are worthy of taking it. If they pass they have the ruby, if not, the temple turns against them.

The immortal priest who created it is an NPC they know in the present day (a good-aligned priest of death), so I thought the 'test' could be given by a past version of said priest, but I'm struggling with what the test could be?

Anyone got any ideas for something to prove their 'goodness'? Preferably not too time-consuming, and it should all take place in this illusory space. Thanks!

Am I crazy or are we supposed to use en dashes in British English in pretty much every circumstance where you would need a dash? I feel like I'd never seen an em dash until everyone stared using AI and now they're popping up everywhere.

At work my boss uses AI to create posts for our socials (sigh...) and I always tell him to change the dashes to en dashes because we're not American, but is this actually correct? I can't find a particularly definitive answer online. I'm very happy to be nitpicky at him but I don't want to be nitpicky and wrong haha!

Hi! I'm trying to work from home on a website, but I'm having a massive problem in that the website doesn't work at my house? It keeps coming up with a 403 forbidden error message. I'm using the same laptop that I use at work and the site works at my work so not sure why this is happening. I also tried on my personal laptop and my phone and it's not working there either, leading me to believe that maybe somethings wrong with my network or ip address? I've checked in with some other people who say the website is working for them so I think it's just me. Any ideas appreciated!
