House of Penthru: Foyer

This is the foyer to the resident’s private rooms. While there is recent trash and debris on the lower steps, it doesn’t appear that the squatters investigated any further up. A hallway leads to several rooms and a set of doors left ajar. In the corner is a small shrine, though the idols have been thrown down and desecrated.
This corner was the household chapel, dedicated to Bes, Amun-Re, and Iset. The Demotic Script on the walls offer praises to the three gods and list several common prayers to each. PCs who cannot read Demotic Script can still attempt to identify the gods with a successful DC 15 Knowledge (religion) check. The symbolism on Ra and Iset can be identified in connection to Solanus and a commonly used symbol with the Estiri, but the Gods here are much older. Cleaning up the shrine earns divine favor from the gods (to be determined). Also in the act of cleaning up the corner, there is a shiny silver ring amidts the crumpled rugs, wedged in a crack in the floor. As soon as the ring is picked up, a ghostly scene superimposes itself over the ruins of the room, as translucent furniture and decorations like potted palm trees and richly upholstered divans waver into existence. This is the beginnings of the vision to the holder of the ring (Will DC 14). Failure, see Ghostly Engagement
Ghostly Engagement

In the final days before the Plague of Madness overtook the house, Pentheru the Younger's daughter, Ariseti, met with her fiancé in this room. Her fiancé wanted to elope, but Ariseti demurred, wanting to wait until the "troubles" afflicting the city passed before announcing their engagement. Unfortunately, neither of them survived the plague and the chaos that followed it.
In the center of the room, a ghostly young man clasps the hands of ethereal young woman. "I'm so sorry," the young man says. "I can't find the ring I bought you anywhere. I just had it!" "It's all right, my love," the girl replies quietly. "It's not the right time to tell my family anyway." "Come with me, Ariseti! Come across the river where we'll be safe!" "Not just yet, darling. My father says we'll be safe here. You go, and when all this is over, you can come back for me, and we'll announce our engagement then." She pauses, and reaches out to touch the man's forehead. "Are you feeling all right? You're burning up!" With this the vision ends, as first the figures fade from view, followed by the room and its furnishings.
