Lost City of Khemsa, Forgotten Kingdom of Verulia, Great Eastern Desert, the World of Hyboria
Day Eight. After Midnight?, 19th day of the month of Yuluk, 1279th year of the Age of Aquilonia
Beneath towering columns, the waking adventurers drag their sleeping comrades into the sandy pit.
Then they lower the massive stone lid over their common grave, sealing themselves in to the oblivion of absolute darkness and slumber.
Mere inches lie between their faces and the cold, tombstone-like slab above them.
Packed in close, they succumb to the exhaustion that drags them down to the land of sleep.
In this blackest of nights, within their unsettling dreams, they can hear footsteps walking above them. And, as ever, they dream of Zargoth searching for them, hunting them across the underground city without relent.
In time, they awaken, refreshed, aware that their companions lie awake also. All is silent now above them, in this pitch black grave of the enemies of Zargoth.
Their gambit has worked. They have survived a night in the underground city of the demon god.
Actions? (All casters are rested and, after study, may choose new spells.)
