5. Summit and Sailing: Tales of a Pyramid Ascent and the Star of Mo-Pelar

by The Muscle Bard Merosh

A column of water and a switch that changes its direction. In crocodile form Fy goes up first. In awe we examine a boat, a painting of the same boat in flight, and a sarcophagus beneath yet another statue of the Pharoah. This is it.
 
A lich priest and 3 formless humanoids set upon us. Connecting the dots Fy mentally commands the golem to crush the glowing heart, destroying Amun Re's animated High Priest called Musafisk. The rewards are rich: a jade sword, a wand of fire, a cloak, a scroll, a ring, a staff, and another Star that all sing of magic.
 
Thallan dons the cloak. Cramus collects the staff and assumes the pose of the statue - causing him to disappear! In terror we mount the Star of Mo-Pelar upon the boat as seen in the painting and opening a wall in the peak of the pyramid we set sail into the sky in desperate search of our benefactor. It's a miracle. The water from the pyramid flows again. A lake is beginning to form. The people begin a celebration that lasts for days and we find Cramus unharmed in the revelry.
 
The story starts to spread of the heroes that brought water back to the desert, of the ones prophesied to confront the Efreet. From our sky ship we wave our goodbyes and sail north to the Oasis of the White Palm.
