Lost City of Khemsa, Forgotten Kingdom of Verulia, Great Eastern Desert, the World of Hyboria
Day Seven. Midnight?, 19th day of the month of Yuluk, 1279th year of the Age of Aquilonia
In a land of night without end, the blood-soaked carcasses of the beastmen have become deathless necromantic horrors beyond imagining! These chilling abominations against gods and nature set a grim shiver upon the adventurers' spines.
Tjoruy, the shambling subterranean denizen who has never seen the light of the sky in his entire life, holds forth the symbol of the god of the sun, the moon and the stars! The very same symbol as the oracle of Osorus, scored upon the flesh of the outlanders, Garrin, Kiri, Loche and Mako.
The wretched living dead recoil in agony and fear before Tjoruy's golden ankh! But before they can escape into the cavernous tunnels beyond the underground city, the macabre simian horrors are struck down by the bludgeoning staves of Amethu and Mako, and cut asunder by the whistling blades of Garrin, Loche and Zahra!
None are left that live. The siege of the underground city is ended, the adventurers are victorious! The adventurers, and the pale stranger who aided their attack against the cruel tyrants of this strange land.
All is quiet, save Loche's monstrous bat steed that screeches and struggles to follow its fearsome kin. The Pict is forced to dismount or fight the gigantic chiropteran's will. (Wisdom check on 1d20 every turn if you wish to attempt the latter)
Across the natural stone bridge, the timeless ruins of the underground city silently wait with the patience of eternity.
