You emerge from your tent, welcome to the life of an explorer. You have taken a commission from the Museum of Relics to uncover the secrets of this ancient tomb. Your briefing with the curators was rather vague. You are going into the tomb blind.
The Sun is boiling you and your men alive. You thought that setting up camp here in the desert would be the best course of action because it is close to the jungle where the destination is. Heh, who would have thought that a sunburn would be one of your worries.
Everyone is getting ready for the mission. You realized you woke up late.
You can go to the [[study tent]] to gather more info.
You can also go grab something to drink in the [[mess hall]].
You can [[start this adventure]]. No time to waste!
(set: $secrets to false)
(set: $water to false)The study tent seems to be very quiet. You notice that even the middle of desert, the librarian still keeps everything in order. You are fascinated by all of the intel gathered by the museum. You dont know where to start!
Though it would be wise to stay focus on the [[ancient tomb]]. The sun is burning you alive! You need something to cool off. As you enter the mess hall you see a large jug of fresh spring water.
You start to shed a tear, as you take out your water flask and start to fill it with that fresh spring water. You now have water for the adventure ahead.
As you start to delve into the water, you realize that it's time for departure. Lets [[start this adventure]]
(set: $water to true)You grab all the essentials needed for this expedition. The feeling of excitement rushs through your body.
A new life is ahead of you. You can see the fame flashing right before you.
You embark from the campsite following a map the campsite cartographer gave you. Hopefully you wont get lost.
A few hours pass, the path seems to linear. You stand corrected.
A worn out sign points two ways: [[Golo Village]] or [[The Ancient Tomb]].
(set: $secrets to true)
As you read through the material, you find out that the tomb is for King Murkut, a king of an ancient civilization. As you continue to read, you discover that this civilization was the strongest in the world with a military power that could take over the world.
Unfortunately, madness took hold of the king and his men were forced to kill him, burying him in this ancient tomb.
As you continue to read, you come across the [[architecture]] of the tomb.You realize knowing more about this land could be benefical when exscavating the tomb.
You take the path to Golo Village. The village seems very traditional, the houses are all made of an adobe-like material. Spears hang from the walls, possibly for hunting. As you continue exploring, the natives start to follow you. They are wary of your presence.
They all grab their spears and surround you. There is no place to run. Out of the most decorated house in the village, the [[village Chief]] emerges.
(set: $maskObtain to false)As you use your machete to hack your way through the jungle, you finally found it: The ancient tomb, told to store priceless artifacts.
This is your moment to shine. As you walk to the entrance, you see skeletal corpses skewered on spikes.
Out of the corner of your eye you see [[something reflecting off]] of one of the corpses. It could be anything though, probably not important.
All the important stuff is [[inside]] the tomb!
(set: $neoGem to false)
(set: $fireGem to false)
(set: $deadGem to false)The village chief speaks: "Why have you come here?". You tell the chief that you are planning on exploring the ancient tomb nearby and wanted to learn more about what is inside from the natives.
The chief's eyes start to widen. A shock of fear passes through his body.
"I completely understand, follow me" says the chief. He orders the villagers to stand down.
In panic, you grab all your stuff and follow the chief to his [[Home]].You enter the Chief's home, the walls are covered in strange sketches of a mysterious creature. The chief taks notice and describes it as a demon who manipulates the people of this plane.
You are shocked the chief speaks english so well. He continues to speak: "In the ancient tomb lies a wretched demon called the Anubi. Legend has it, the gaurdians in the tomb die to its insanity. My ancestor was the only survior during the bloodshed. After that, he dedicated his life to telling the stories of the demon. Drove him mad. Now it's my turn to pass this knowledge on to you. The Anubi is encased in a statue inside the tomb. If you ever encounter it please wear this mask. It will cancel the demon's tricks."
The chief hands you a mask. You examine the mask: the lifeless eyes and the haunting smile send chills down your spine. At that moment you ask yourself "What am I getting myself into?" You place the mask into your bag.
The chief starts to speak again: "You best hurry, the sun is about to set."
You take the chief's advice and [[Leave immediately]].
(set: $maskObtain to true)There is no time to waste.
Someone else might make this discovery before you! Make haste. To the [[The Ancient Tomb]]! You approach the skeletal corpse. Its body is in the fetal position. It is holding a shiny object close to its chest.
You become curious and [[grab it]].
You enter the Tomb. Everything around you seems very ancient. Old statues symbolizing gods are all ruined and corroded. It seems as if no one has stepped foot in here for years.
There is a large platform in the center of the room which seems to be the crossroads of all the rooms. You see three paths that lead to different rooms.
It doesn't seem as stable as it once was. As you look down at the deep abyss surrounding every corner of the platform, you see mummified corpses. Thousands of them. You think these might have been the tomb's gaurdians.
You attempt to investage the three paths given:
[[The right room]]
[[The left room]]
[[The giant doors ]]As you enter the room, you topple over an urn. Ashes start to poor out. You realize that you are in a burial room.
Over centuries, moriticians would use this room to prepare mummifications. Maybe that's why all of the guardians are wrapped up? As you continue to look around you see two urns: the [[golden Urn]] and the [[bronze Urn]]..
There is some ancient text above these two urns(if: $secrets is true)[:"two powers there are, both strong with the dead each hae consquences...beware." You think this is rather ominous. You start to be wary](else:)[ you can't seem to read this ancient text.]
As you enter the room, the temperature starts to rise. Fire starts to light torches on their own. You see a rising pheonix statue in front of an alter. (if: $secrets is true)[You've seen this altar before from your studies. This is the altar used by the cult of Pheoria. They used this altar whenever they gave the pheonix goddes Firo a sacrifice. You find these stories very interesting.]In the center of the Altar is a glowing [[red gem]].
You walk towards these giant silver doors. They seem to be shut. You try to push them open anyway but they wont budge.
(if: $secrets is true)[These doors look like the fail safes the architectures used to protect the tomb. You notice the a gem shaped slot in the center of the doors. This most likely where you put one of the orb-gems!]
(else:)[You notice a gem slot in the center of the doors. You realize you need a sort of key to open these doors.]
(if: $neoGem is false or $fireGem is false or $deadGem is false)[You can't go any further without a key.]
(if: $neoGem is true)[[Neoplotain gem]]
(if: $fireGem is true)[[red Fire gem]]
(if: $deadGem is true)[[green Dead gem]]
You decide to head [[Back|inside]].As you open the urn. A beam of golden light emerges. As the light touches the room, all of the damage regresses into its former glory. The bandages on the floor are now organized on newly built shelves. It looks to be that the room has been restored to its original state! But how?!
The urn in your hand shatters leaving only an amber medallion. You pick up the medallion.
On the surgeon table lies a [[green orb gem]].
(set: $deadGem to true)
(set: $ambermedallion to true)
As you pick up the urn, a blast of neon green light emerges. As the light shines, all of the dead bugs and beatles come back to life! Zombies!? No that's impossible.
As the urn shatters, a green medallion is left behind. You pick up the medallion.
As you are walking back to the entrance, you see a glowing green light on the table, it seems to be a [[green orb gem]]. Heh, the more the merrier right?
(set: $deadGem to true)
(set: $greenmedallion to true)You enter this room. There is no artifact or treasure. Just Fog. You hear wierd Murmurs in the shadows. You feel that the this room extends even further. Your curiosity gets the best of you.
(if: $maskObtain is true)[you start to feel an adnormal shiver down your spine as if something is examining you. In that moment your remember the village chief's warning about the Anubi and start to rummage through your bag. Aha! You have found the Anubi mask!
You [[put it on]] before entering the fog.]
(else:)[You start to move [[closer]]]
(set: $anubiSpeaks to (font: "Amatic SC") + (text-color: "Purple") + (text-style: "shudder"))
The doors open wide. The way to treasure is open you can smell it. As you enter the room you see this silver looking box unscathed by time. You are curious about [[what is inside]]. However, you notice that something is missing.
There is a [[slot]] on the front. The excitement is killing you. What should you do?You open the coffin and a shine of white light pushes you back as thousands of souls Emerge screaming in pain.
You stand there is utter shock. You cant move! The glorious light has you entranced.
Suddenly..your body starts [[moving]] on its own.You examine the slot. You feel like you have seen this shape before. You start to flip through your journal.
Aha! This shape is the same shape as the medallion from the urn!
You take a deep breath, this is it. Treasure awaits.
You take the medallion from your pouch and place it into the slot.
(if: $ambermedallion is true)[[Amber Medallion]]
(if: $greenmedallion is true)[[green Medallion]]You realized that to these people, you are a God. All of these treasures along with this army by your side you would be unstoppable. You take the [[the King's hand]].
You grab the item: (if: $secrets is true)[from your studies you deduct that this is the chaos orb-gem. A item filled with greed an insanity. It is one of the 3 gems the architects of this tomb used to hide secrets.](else:)[its a circular gem the size of your hand. Its glare is a neapolitan color. Such unique colors!]
You put the gem into your bag and make your way [[inside]].
(set: $neoGem to true)
You enter a room that is circular in shape similar to an arena pit. At the center of the room lies an ancient tribal mask. Around the pedestal are scorched corpses.
As you move closer to the mask, the giant doors behind you shut and the walls light on fire. You are cautious at this state, but there is nothing to lose.
You go to [[pick up]] the mask.In this chapter, you find out more about the traps of this tomb.
Three architect brothers: Phillius, Amon, and Gallin each crafted a key that led to a certain treasure vault. The King's men commissoned this in order to confuse tomb raiders and keep the treasures safe.
You reach the end of the chapter, but continue to read.
This ancient civilization facscinates you. You ask yourself, "what other secrets are there?" "What language did they speak?" "What was their culture like?"
You spend hours on these ancient texts until you spill your coffee. As you go to clean up the mess you look at the time. The sun is almost out!
You grab all your stuff and go off to [[start this adventure]] You see this beautiful green gem that sparkles around lifeless bodies.
(if: $secrets is true)[As you look closely you realize it is the gem of death, a tribute the the goddess of the afterlife. Its green glow reveal the suffering of souls as power is restored.
As you pick up the gem whispers of souls can be heard like the wind.
You get a chill down your spine, immediately drop the gem into your pouch and head [[back|inside]] to the main room]
(else:)[You can't stop looking into the mezmerizing green light. Something this beautiful needs to be seen by the world!
You pick up the orb-gem and head [[back|inside]] to the main room]You're fixated on this wonderful light. Your body uncontrollably starts to move closer as you are now bathing in this beautiful [[sensation]]You continue to shower in this light as thousands of souls are bursting out of the coffin. You slowly start to lose feeling in your legs...then your arms....then your head. Your lifeless body starts to drop. You see yourself slowly floating away from your body.
You scream in fear...but now that is the only thing you do. You have now joined the countless lost souls stored in this mystical white light.
Your adventure is....over.You are amazed at what you are witnessing. The king starts to look around the room as if he had just woken from a thousand year slumber. In the corner of his eye he spots you. He quickly grabs his tribal axe.
$Reborn["REJOICE!!! We have returned!!"] says the king. Fear starts to shiver down your spine as thousands of cheers could be heard through the walls. You run back to the main room and see all of the mummified guardians rekindled with life. The civilization has returned. The king starts to [[speak]] to you.$Reborn["Thank you for saving my civilization. I am a man of Honor. I believe no good deed should go un-rewarded. Tell Me what you truly Desire!"]
(if: $secrets is true)[From what you have read. This is King Markut. A Leader known for his kind gestures but ruthless tactics on the battle field. He has said to be obbsessed with conquering other lands. Could this mean this plane will be his next conquer?! The fear lingers in your heart.]
The king has offered you a reward. What comes to mind?
[[Riches and Fame]]
[[Eternal Glory]]
(if: $secrets is true)[This cant go on any longer. You need to [[Stop him]]]You tell the chief about your original goal of inflitrating the tomb: to make a name for yourself. The king ponders on this answer and realizes what you are seeking.
He signals his men who bring in countless treasures. Your eyes start to water as all of this gold is right in front of you. "A reward for your efforts" the king responds.
You bow to him in hospitality as you start to gather the gold and [[leave the tomb]] This madness must end. You cant let history repeat itself. You've realized what you've done was foolish. You renounce the king's helping hand. The king is appalled at these turn of events.
The King yells at you: $Reborn["You fool. You could've have everything!"]
You ignore his dismay as the only thing on your mind right now is undoing your mistake. You ponder to think:
[[Go for the Medallion]]
[[Attack the King]]You leave with all this gold. Congragulations, You made a name for yourself. You're gonna be rich! As you walk back to the camp site, the thought of what the newly revived civilization's true intentions are. All of your curiosity has been overrun by your greed...
THE ENDAt that moment you have just thrown away your intentions of becoming a renowned explorer, the thirst for the unkown, and even the safety of humanity. The king reveals to the people their new god: You.
YOU HAVE TRANSCENDED!!!!In the heat of the moment, you lunge towards the coffin! The king in heating rage says $Reborn["NOO! YOU CANT UNDO YOUR CHOICE!"] The King Throws his Axe towards you.
You're in the heat of the moment will you make it!?
[[Continue to go for the medallion]]
[[Do a Barrel Roll]]You tackle the king down to the ground. There is no turning back now. This means war! The king frantically snaps his fingers calling the cult of pheroria. They push you back with wind magic.
The King speaks: $Reborn["So you want war then! I will give you war! MARK MY WORDS!!"] The king signals the mages.
They turn towards you and start thir chanting. a glowing green ball is form and thrown right at you.
[[POOF]] your gone..No time to lose! You continue on the same path: jumping towards the medallion, ignoring the King's attacks. As you make it to the coffin, the kings Axe Jabs into your side! The pain is immeasurable, but it doesn't stop you! The King is impressed if not frightened by the determination in your eyes. You are not going down with a fight.
You regain your breath and with all your might, you [[pull]] the amber medallion out of the coffin.As the Axe is swinging towards, you decide to twist in mid air, blocking the Axe's blow with your Adventure satchel! Both you and the king are surprised. You were able to stop the axe from dealing a fatle blow!
In the heat of the moment, you rush to the coffin and [[rip]] the medallion right off!As you pull the medallion out of the slot. The orange light returns reverting everything back to its old mummified state. You notice the king's body starts to grow weak and nimble. His skin starts to peel and his bones revert back to dust.
$Reborn["You fool.....what ha...ve you....doneeee.."] these were the king's final words before his jaw drops and his body collapse into dust. The revived civilization is no more.
You did it. You have made sure that history wouldn't repeat yourself. You have recieved treasure: an ancient coffin with a priceless jewel, thats what the papers will say! You cannot wait to return to the campsite.
Unfortunately these were your [[final thoughts.]]The wound from the king's axe was fatal. The only reason you didn't die at that moment was due to the adrenaline. You try to get up but the feelings in your legs are gone. Its over.
Although your sacrifice will not be remembered, at least you died knowing you have saved this land from utter tyranny.
Job well done.....
THE ENDAs you pull the medallion out of the slot. The orange light returns reverting everything back to its old mummified state. You notice the king's body starts to grow weak and nimble. His skin starts to peel and his bones revert back to dust.
$Reborn["You fool.....what ha...ve you....doneeee.."] these were the king's final words before his jaw drops and his body collapse into dust. The revived civilization is no more.
You take a deep breath in order to process what has happened! After a minute, you [[regain]] your composure. You leave the tomb for a brief moment in order to bring in your men from the campsite. They are astonished about the findings of the coffin. This will make a remarkable exhibit in the muesuem of Relics.
As the coffin gets load onto the truck, you notice in your pocket the amber medallion. Sweat starts to fall down your face at the sight on this jewel.
Before you leave. You find the closer river and chuck the jewel over. If anyone ever put the pieces together like you did.
This plane would come to an end...You are transported to the edge of the jungle not to far from the campsite.
Unfortunatly you did not get the trasures or riches you desired. Instead, you now have a mission. King Markut is out there and you don't know what he is planning next, most likely world domination. Whatever it is, its up to you and the museum of Relics to stop him.
You clentch your fist and blast at the sky vowing to save this free plane!!
You start to run back to the campsite filled with purpose. Only you know what to do.
The End.As you extend your hands to grab the mask, flames start to burst from inside the mask. Your hands retract due to the extreme temperatures.
You watch as the mask's flames latch on to all 3 corpses. There bodies fuse together to create an [[ancient tribal gaurdian]].
(if: $secrets is true)[These gaurdians were followers of the great pheonic who sold their souls to the dying flame. The mask is a symbol of reignited life.]You admire the tribal guardian for a moment. Its stunning form and fire baton resemble such strength. You wonder how this cult hadn't survived for centuries on end.
But the admiration period soon came to an end. The tribal guardian looks in your direction and starts to speak: "tresspasser, begone!" The guardian takes his fire baton and starts to perform a tribal dance. The flames on the walls start to flare up!
You realize you have to fight. You're trapped. You think about your first move:
[[Face him head on!]]
[[Your Legendary technique passed down by your peers]]
(if: $water is true)[[Splash Water from Water Jug]]Out of no where you start to charge the tribal Gaurdian with your Machete in hand. The Gaurdian tries to stop you but fails to push you back.
As you get closer, all you can sense is the Mask calling out to you. With the Machete in your hand there was only one way to get the Mask:
You will have to [[cut off]] his head!It was a last resort. Your peers have warned you to only use it during an emergency. Well this is an emergency. As the tribal Gaurdian starts to finish the first half of the dance. You, the great explorer you are, start to run away!
The tribal gaurdian is very confused. You aren't running away from him...you are running around him. You run with all of your might. Your main goal is to find an opening but where is the opening?!
[[Behind the Gaurdian]]
[[Jump for the baton]]You see the Tribal Guardian performing these battle dances. It seems that he is getting ready for combat, however this is not your day. You notice the water jug in your bag and immediately realize that you can just splash the water at him.
So you splash the water on him. The Tribal Gaurdian starts to scream in pain as his whole body starts to become [[immobile]]. There is no fighting today.You make your final lap and then tackle The Tribal Gaurdian from behind. You got him by surpise which results in him being pinned to the ground.
Now it is your chance. You need that [[mask]].You see it! The perfect opening. The Tribal Gaurdian heavily relies on his baton to dance so...you need to grab it! You finish your final lap, then immediately change course. Next stop the baton!
In the corner of his eye, you jump right at him and grab the baton. The flames on the guardian start to fume!! Now you made him angry. However as you hold the baton you realize something.
You start to spin the baton and mimic ancient tribal dances from your studies. The Tribal Guardian starts to smile. He has accepted your [[dance battle]] You start things off simple. A shuffle to the left then the right with a twirl in the front and the back. You learned that one from the old sage in Kallburnna.
The Tribal Guardian starts to pound on the ground with his hand doing an elaborate hand stand which allows him to propel himself in the air. He tops this off with a flaming somersault. You are blown away, but you won't give up!
You have to end this fast or he will win. You know this next move needs to be big, but HOW big:
[[the firespin]]
[[The Skyfolk Wind Dance]]
(if: $secrets is true)[[The Dance of the Pheonix]]To take advantage of the fire baton and start to spin it. At first you attempt slow spins, as time passes along you start to get faster and faster and faster! The speed is immeasurable!
You then start to do corkscrews and flips while maintaining a spining baton at the end you put of the ends of the batons while continuing the spin, manpulating the smoke and bending it to your will.
You have showed the Tribal Guardian that you can master fire.
You have [[won]]You propel yourself 10 ft in the air and land on the fire baton balancing off the ground. You then start to do elaborate tricks on the tip such as a Irish jig, acrobatic twists, the ancient mating dance of the skyfolk, and top it off with the crane.
When you land the crane, a gust of wind starts to blow dimming all of the flames in the room. You start to breathe heavily. That action took most of your strength. You are curious about what the tribal gaurdian will do next.
You suddenly hear clapping. The tribal guardian has admitted defeat. You have [[won]] the dance battle.While in the study tent you read about The Dance of the Pheonix: an ancient pheorian dance that was performed during festivals and rituals. You decide that this is your best bet if you are going to win.
You start off by setting your sleeves on fire to immitate the pheonix. With the Baton you then start to do elegent spins. With the buring of your sleeves, you create the illusion of the pheonix.
The Tribal Gaurdian is so immersed in the dance that he joins you. The two of you immiate the pheonix with smooth movement. You two also toss the fire baton back and forth. It is a mezemering sight.
To end off the dance, the Tribal Gaurdian throws the baton up in the air then when it comes down, both of you put out each end with a strong grab.
This symbolizes a sign of friendship.
You have [[won]]You collapse on the ground. All your energy was gone, but it was worth it.
The Tribal Gaurdian walks up to you. He looks down at you and starts to speak: "Well fought, you have earned my respect and the mask. Well done". He proceeds to take off the mask. A blast of smoke emerges.
The mask falls to the ground along with the ashes of the three corpses. The fire baton starts to disintergrate.
You have [[recieved]] the mask of the pheonix. You start to regain your energy. You pick up the mask and store it in your bag. You have obtained an ancient relic!
You cannot hold the excitement in! You start to run out of the tomb as if you have just finished a marathon.
You make it to the entrance of the tomb with the mask in tacked.
Congragulations...you have made your dream come true!
THE END.As you attempt to pull the mask from his face and body start to ignite in flames. The pain is immeasurable, but you want that mask. What are you going to do.
[[Let go of the Mask]]
[[Continue pulling the Mask]] As you let go of the mask. The flames start to grow around the room. There is no place to run! The flames start to consume you and your body burnt into a crisp.
Your adventure is...over.The pain is nothing. You want that mask so bad, nothing is going to stop you. As you start to pull the mask you see scorch marks on your hands. That's going to leave a mark.
The pain is almost unbearable, but you make the final pull and [[rip the Mask]] right off!You pull the mask off the Tribal Gaurdian's face. The flames on the guardian die out. The scorched corpses break apart and return to their normal state.
You have defeated the mask's Gaurdian.The Tribal Gaurdian's flames are out resulting in a husk of a once ferocious warrior. You approach the Gaurdian only to remove the mask from his face. Once you did, his whole body had disintergrated.
You have uncovered the Mask of the Pheonix! An ancient artifact lost in time. This will surely make an amazing discovery in the muesuem!
As the Tomb's chapter comes to a close, a new world of wealth a fame awaits you.
Well Done!!This thought was executed without hesitation. You got close to the gaurdian and pinned his head on the ground. You found the neck region in all the flames. Then in one fell swoop you chop off the Gaurdian's head with your Machete.
A feeling of rage rushed through you as you grabbed the Mask. This feeling...it's unnatural. You Would never kill someone out of shear bloodthirst. Something must have been in your head.
You cant go back on your choices now. You have just killed a living creature. As you approach the entreance of the tomb, you think to yourself: was it the mask? Did this artifact caused me to become an animal or was it something else?
As you leave the tomb a grinning smile and lifeless eyes could be seen in the shadows.....You weren't alone.
The ENDYou continue to walk further down the hallway. The fog hasn't cleared up. Something doesn't feel right. You feel as if something is watching you in the shadows.
You continue [[walking]].You feel lost, but how?! You've have been going straight for as long as you can remember? Wait, how long have you been walking.
Your sense of time starts to fade. The fog surrounds you. You feel as if it is clouding your judgement.
The murmurs start to get louder.
[[...continue]]As you are walking you start to hear these murmers:
$anubiSpeaks["gReEd", "FoOlS", "IgNoRaNcE"]!
In your mind you denounce these claims stating that they are not true.
The murmers continue:
$anubiSpeaks["AlOnE!!!", "hAhAhA", "NaIvE..", "sElFiSh!!!!"]
You scream from the top of your lungs: "NOOOO, LIES, LIES". The Mumer anwsers:
$anubiSpeaks["No, tRuTh TrUtH!!!"]
You feel your mind breaking. The thought of treasure slips your mind.
You [[breakdown]]Your body collapses. The road ahead is consumed by the fog.
As you break down on the floor. The murmurs start to become more violent:
$anubiSpeaks["FeAsT", "fOoD", "HaHa iT HaSsS bEeN YeArS!!!!"]
You feel these murmurs to be closer then ever before. You are right to believe so..
From the Fog, two lifeless Eyes Shine. Along with them a Smile that never wrinkles.
It has come to feast...the Anubi. Its crooked neck extends to examine its next meal. The Anubi starts to wag its tale in excitement. It [[speaks]].$anubiSpeaks["hahahahaHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA, It's bEeN YeArS SiNcE I lAsT AtE."]
Fear starts to move down your spine. You are paralyzed, your mind in shatters. There is nothing you can do.
The Anubi speaks: $anubiSpeaks["SaY yOuR FiNaL GoOdByEs.. WaIt YOU CANT!!! AHAHAA"]
Its eyes start to to widen. Its sharp teeth become visable as well as the large amounts of drool from its mouth.
You are hopeless. Your selfish desires have caused you to die by the hands of a monster.
Your adventure is over.....
$anubiSpeaks[.....AHAHAHAHAHAAHAHA]As you continue down the hallway. All is clear! You can see right through the fog. What you also see...are these bright yellow dots from a distance.
Fear starts to take hold of you for a while, but you continue pressing [[forward]].As you are getting closer. The yellow dots start to get bigger. You belive you are getting closer to the artifact.
Soon the dots are accompanied with a smile that never wrinkles. It starts to move as if it is trying to say something. You think its strange that you cant hear what the mouth is trying to say.
You start to grow impatient and start to [[run]] towards the dots.As you get closer the Yellow dots start enlarge. The smile starts to become a frown. The fog starts to thin. The Anubi mask starts to glow shining a bright yellow light.
You hear a scream: $anubiSpeaks[[HAHAHAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHH]]You made to the end of the hallway. In front of you is a pedastool that contains a statue of a haunting creature.
This is it! You have found the Statue of the Anubi just as the chief described it. In the corner of your eye you see the wicked demon.
Abhorent body, Snake-like neck, Elongated tail, lifeless eyes. This is the Anubi.
The Anubi is in a frightened state. Its powers don't work on you due to the mask. As you move closer to the statue, it moves back.
Now is your chance. [[Grab]] the statue!You grab the statue. When you do, you notice that the Anubi starts to fade away into the statue. Its pain is immeasurable, however you can't hear it. A fitting end for a vile creature.
After the Anubi is imprisoned in the statue the fog disapates: the path is clear. You place the statue into your bag and end to the entrance of the tomb.
As you leave you wonder if it is a good idea to display the statue. What if the Anubi gets out? You assume that you are over thinking the situation. You had just defeated a vile creaute and became a world renown explorer. Nothing to worry about.
In the following months, you hear reports of mysterous aroudn the new Anubi exhibit...
ENDYou place the Amber medallion in the slot. A burst of wind pushes you back. A shining yellow glow starts to emerge similar to the glow in the burial room. The blinding light forces your eyes shut. The walls of the vault start to slowly rewind. All of the plants return to their normal states.
The light starts to fade. You open your eyes are are amazed on what you are witnessing. The entire tomb looks completely new! You start to get confused. Was this time travel? As you are pondering with your thoughts. A large figure emerges from the coffin. It is....[[the King]]
(set: $Reborn to (font: "Trebuchet MS") + (text-color: "Yellow") + (text-style: "Bold"))You place the green medallion into the slot. A gush of green mist starts to emerge from the coffin. You fall unconcious.
After a few minutes you wake up and notice that the ceiling is rumbling. The tomb is about to collapse!
You are panicking franticlly. You think about what you are going to do:
[[hide in the coffin]]
[[book it]]You start to panic and hide inside the coffin. As you do, the walls of the tomb start to crumble. The tomb is starting to collapse!! You wait until everything is over.
After a while, the rumbling seems to stop. You kick open the lid of the coffin only to see the rubble of a once ancient tomb.
As you go into the main room you notice that the mummified bodies have vanished. You wonder where they could have gone.
As you exit the tomb you hear screaming in the direction of your campsite. You run as quickly as you can to provide any assistance but you were too [[late]]. At this moment, treasure is meaningless. Your life is more important! You need to get out of here fast.
You turn around and enter the main room again only to see a horde of mummified gaurdians reanimated. You realize that the green gem must have brought them back to life!
Their heads twist sideways as they quickly notice you and start to chase after you. You continue [[running]].A horde of mummies are chasing you. The tomb is collapsing! Your life is on the line! This sure is the adventure you were looking for.
You see the light from outside. You are almost there! As you continue running the ground beneath you begins to crack and breaks right under you!
In the corner of your eye, you see a loose [[vine]] spanning the outside world and the ancient statue.
Below you see an [[opening]] beneath the rocks.You dont even think for a second. You just go for it. As the floor collapse from under you throw yourself at the vine grabbing it without any second thought.
The velocity of your jump swings the vine forward! Thousands of mummified hands attmpt to grab your feet. Freedom is the only thing on your mind right now.
At the right moment, you jump off the vine and make it to the otherside. The mummies from the pits start to climb the walls. You need to [[go]]!The floor collapses from under your feet. You slide down the side of the cliff. The mummies follow in pursuit. Stones from the roof start to crumble hitting some of the mummies. You get to the bottom of the pit. You search frantically for the opening.
You find it! And make your way through. However, the mummies are still on your [[tail]]!You make your way to the entrance just in time! As you cross the threshold, the tomb's entrance starts to collapse seeling the mummies inside.
You watch as the roof of the tomb implodes submerging the tomb into the ground.
You survived the horrors of the tomb. You realize that that the treasures were just an attempt to get tomb raiders to unleash a devastating curse upon the plane.
Fortunately, you stopped the mummies from invading this new plane.
Unfortunately, you came out empty handed.
Better luck next time explorer.
...The EndYou are running as fast as you can. The tunnel is getting narrow. You turn around and see the mummies scrambling to get through. You need to hurry!!
After a while you feel a droplet on your face. Where is the water coming from? You notice that the dirt above you is wet. You are under a river!!
The mummies start making their way through the tunnel. This is it.
[[START DIGGING!!!!!]]You start to claw your way through the dirt. You think to yourself, if you don't make it at least you tried.
The mummies start to gain up on you. You are digging as fast as you can! Your almost there! The droplets become little streams of water. You're almost there!!!
[[Splash!]]You rip the final chunk out of the earth! A flood of water starts to enter the tunnel. The mummies are pushed back to the beginning of the tunnel!
You start to [[swim up]] to the surface.You swim up to the surface. You realized that you have surfaced in the river right next to a village. You have escaped.
You swim towards shore. The village fishermen are frightened from seeing someone emerge from the depths. You are covered in cuts and mud.
As you try to calm down the fishermen, you hear a loud rumble in the forest. It is the ancient tomb collapsing.
You feel disappointed that you did not gain any treasure. However, you are happy to be alive.
Your adventure isn't over yet!!!
The EndYour campsite is destroyed and all of its members are dead. You are struck with horror. You wonder who could have done this. Was it the natives? Maybe wild animals?
You look to the horizon over the desert and you see the real [[horror]].Over the desert are thousands and thousands of mummified guardians plowing their way mindlessly through the land.
This is where the bodies have went. They escaped the tomb before it had fully collapsed! You realized that you have just sealed the fate of this plane.
The world is doomed....
The End(if: $secrets is true)[You pick up the red gem. you notice that this is the fire gem from your studies! Legend has it the cult of Pheoria used gems like these to transcend thier best warriors into the eternal flame.
