The Lost Tomb.
Version 3.90
It has taken years, but you've finally found it, the lost tomb of Erick. They all called you mad, a fool, a cheat. None had believed in the ancient legends except you, and now, with funding from Lord Rupert Mongoose, you have finally found it.
The sands of the desert bake under the scorching sun and there is an excitement around the camp. The entrance was discovered and removed the previous day, and today you shall enter it alone, as none of the locals dare incur the wrath of Erick, for it is written, anyone who disturbs his sleep, shall pay with their lives.
Just as you prepare to leave however, an unexpected visiter arrives, Rupert Mongoose.
"Why hello dear boy! Long time no see!" He says as he frantically shakes your hand. "I heard last night you found the tomb, excellent work by the way!, so I thought it might be quite nice if I tagged along, you know, see first hand where all my money has been going, what! Now I know we'll probably be just rooting around a lot of dusty old things, but it gets me out of the house, as it where. So here I am, fully equipped with my rucksack and pith helmet! When do we leave?"
The Camp Site
Workers go about their business amongst the big white tents of the camp. Your tent is pitched nearby, and to the north, is the trail to the tomb. Rupert is here.
