WHO || Lis'sa, Riddick, Phineas, Ella, Dimitri, Raegos, the Mithril Scarab, and more [Closed]
WHAT || The Knights head to Egypt to try and ascertain the location of a lost pyramid
WHERE || Cairo, Egypt
WHEN || Jan 21st, mid-day[forwarddated]
HOW || Actionspam. Single thread, don't worry about maintaining tagging order.

The party arrives in the bustling city of Cairo around mid-day, where it's a beautiful 70 degrees outside compared to the cold London January they came from. Along with whatever gear they brought individually for tomb raiding*, Wynn has also sent them with a chest of 2,000 gold pieces - because the woman who has promised to take them to meet Raegos (the only living man who can claim to have seen the lost tomb) plans to meet them at an antiquities auction.

Wynn has pre-arranged with the woman, who goes by the name of the Mithral Scarab, to recognize the party by the fact that they will cast several bids at the auction - and all of their opening bids will always be exactly ten gold more than the starting price. Once she has recognized them, she will find a way to show them a symbol of the Knights of the Silver Dragon discreetly to identify herself, and they are to follow her away from the crowd. Raegos' rumored paranoia concerning anyone else learning his location seems well demonstrated by the levels of security embedded in Scarab's directions.

The auction itself is a direct result of the recent elemental-driven storm that has unearthed a number of structures long buried in the desert. Some industrious tomb raiders have already taken to looting the lesser pyramids, and this underground sale promises to deliver some of the discovered goods into the hands of eager collectors. Wynn's generous supply of furnished gold was delivered to them with explicit instructions to purchase anything that they thought might be an item of actual valuable historical or magical significance, to become the property of the Knighthood.

[ dimitri manages to wheel away from the collapsing dune just in time, turning back towards the others as they find themselves cut off by a cascade through the trench. lis'sa rides up beside him and scowls. ] Come on. We'll have to find another way around.

[Phineas jumps on Nef's camel with her, because his is probably long gone by now. Slick moves jumping off, Phin.]

Let's ride. [He growls, because Amon's presence makes him kind of a total prick.]

Follow me.

[And Dimitri will attempt to lead them around the mess and catch up to their tracks (survival 20 total)]

[Riddick got a 20 total ride check to keep his damned camel under control, and an 18 handle animal check now that he's finally gotten then thing to turn the fuck around and back towards the group since it took off, with him on it, when the fight began. He will follow the group riding next to Lis'sa and looking pissed at having missed all the action.]
