Beneath the Desecrated Temple of Osorus, The Underground City
Lost City of Khemsa, Forgotten Kingdom of Verulia, Great Eastern Desert, the World of Hyboria
Day Eight. Dawn?, 21st day of the month of Yuluk, 1279th year of the Age of Aquilonia
In the underground city, within the desecrated temple of Osorus, the two wisest explorers, Mako and Amethu, hesitate as they watch Loche, Garrin, Xorzen and Zahra plummet down into the ravening sand maw and be swallowed up by darkness!
The four brave adventurers crash into a large dune below and tumble out of the sandfall collapse into a circular tunnel. At the rate the sand is falling, the growing dune will soon reach the tunnel roof and seal off the sinkhole above!
An arrow drawn in the sand points toward a receding torchlight at the distant end of the sandy channel!
There, Cruloc the barbarian and Kiri the easterner plunge headlong down the tunnel, hurtling to Tjoruy's rescue without pausing to wonder what might have fashioned such a strange subterranean passageway!
With Cruloc's fiery torch to guide the way, the Cimmerian and the easterner follow the desperate shrieks of the mad prophet! They burst into a large chamber and are shocked at what they find!
Gigantic ants, tall as men and nearly twice as long, are waiting for them! Another emerges from a nearby passage, its antennae probing the cave floor.
At the far end of the sandy cavern, smaller enormous ants drag away the weakened bloodsoaked form of Tjoruy!
