Beyond the False Tomb, Fourth Tier of the Great Pyramid
Lost City of Khemsa, Forgotten Kingdom of Verulia, Great Eastern Desert, the World of Hyboria
Day Four. Late Afternoon, 16th day of the month of Yuluk, 1279th year of the Age of Aquilonia
Suddenly, impossibly, the band of explorers are standing before the sealed Tomb of Xuthalhotep!
Xorzen looks upon his hands and finds them unwithered! Mako searches his memory and finds spells uncast! Garrin and Zahra still hold lit torches!
Ibis-masked Amethu stands apart, holding a papyrus scroll.
Stunned, they all realize they have just vanquished queen Ankhara, deactivated a lurking trap, and not yet unsealed the tomb!
Everything they had experienced after opening the tomb was just a lifelike vision of the future, revealed to them by a spell of prophecy that Amethu recited from the enchanted scroll recovered in the massacre of Sutekh cultists!
And yet it was so real!
The astonished explorers realize with grim certainty they have seen their true future. If they fail to alter their actions now, alter the future itself, then their fate is truly sealed!
Actions?! And please read this.
