Mystaran Campaign: The Tomb of K-Kes

The Tomb of K-Kes is at the surface a stone wheel door of several tons guarded by 2-8 Orcs.

1. The Door to the tomb is several tons. If the PCs can negotiate with the Orcs they will help move the door aside to reveal the tunnel.

Anyone reaching through the hole in the centre of the door will be bitten by a giant black widow spider which retreats down the tunnel if the door is opened.

On the wall are charcoal drawn hieroglyphs K-Kes. A read language reveals this much. It means cover the head and neck and bow down. Doing this  ritual protects the PC from the curse on the tomb- spiders on the ceiling.

2. The tunnel is 10ft high and wide, sloping downward. The Black Widow spider retreats to this location attacking from above in the dark.

3. The Tomb Hallway has a 15ft high ceiling. There are three bricked up chambers off this room these doors are further concealed by plaster across the walls. Anyone running their hands over the walls searching for secret or concealed doors encounters a poisoned needle trap embeded in the plaster and must save vs poison. Artwork is painted on the plastered walls and ceilings.

4. Chamber of Unem-Kha. Dominated by a stone box with a five ton stone lid. This prince is entombed with a holy symbol of Horus (500gp) wrapped up under bandages used to bind his remains as a mummy. Also in the bandages is a poisonous shell-fish fragment (save vs poison).

5. Chamber of Khan-Kha. As the other chambers it is dominated by a stone coffin with five tin lid.  This prince Skinned alive, his hide used to make a cleric scroll of Greater Reincarnation capable of reincarnating this prince. The caster must wear the holy symbol of Horus and recite: Amakh-M-Ur, shesp-men-shen-aau (eye of horus - give - Prince Ur - recieve - offer - eternal - worship). this means the cleric offers to convert to worship of Horus in payment for reincarnation of Prince Ur.

6. Chamber of Beh-Shep. This chamber has a mummy in the stone coffin which bites causing a necrotic rotting disease unless the victim converts to Horus Worship.

The priest of horus must touch the holy symbol of Horus to the convert's cheek and recite Amakh-shesep-men-aau. This brands the convert with the eye of Horus. Converts get ML+1.

Dungeon Mastery: Seriously, What the fuck?

Bad shit happens. One moment you are toppling the food carts of some peasant and smashing his ripe melon against the ground for failing to cough up his daily takings when blam!

Seriously, What The Fuck?

Description: 5ft 2 inches tall with a physically solid build that makes him look like a tall dwarf Nkulmyr is a human fighter with a dark greying beard and a gruff personality. He has been a wandering story-teller for decades speaking gruffly in village taverns (and on rare occasions humanoid camps) across the known world though they are more local news than world shattering.
