West of the Revolving Corridor. Third Tier of the Great Pyramid
Lost City of Khemsa, Forgotten Kingdom of Verulia, Great Eastern Desert, the World of Hyboria
Day Two. Midmorning. 14th day of the month of Yuluk, 1279th year of the Age of Aquilonia
The male explorers of the Great Pyramid leave the portal Gronda disappeared behind and move back through the revolving corridor. They continue west through the corridors of the antiquity and find a monolithic door embellished with the image of Uthoth, ancient Verulian god of knowledge.
The door is ajar.
Kiri moves closer to peer in when suddenly Roan the barbarian pushes the door wide open to the sound of grinding stone.
Beyond it lies a grand chamber filled with over a dozen masked figures. (U1-13)
These are the first masks the explorers have encountered in the lost city that don't depict animals.
Beneath murals venerating Uthoth, and soaring tapestries of complex constellations, the eerie gathering partakes of food and wine laid upon a star shaped table.
One of the masked figures says in antique Common, "Welcome. Won't you come in? We would be honoured if you would join us."
