The Great Eastern Desert~
|
||
|
|
A vast desert stretches for miles, the sands constantly shifting around
|
||
|
|
you. Rising out of the sand to the north you see a mighty pyramid.

At The Base Of The Pyramid~
|
||
|
|
The mighty pyramid towers above you out of the hot desert sands, made
|
||
|
|
from huge blocks of stone that have been coated over with a rough sandy
|
||
|
|
plaster-like substance. The face of the pyramid is steep, but you think
|
||
|
|
you might be able to climb it.

A Tightening In The Crawlway~
|
||
|
|
Here you are forced to slide on your belly through a particularly tight
|
||
|
|
section of the crawlway, as the stones of the pyramid close together about
|
||
|
|
you. Below you is a small, slippery-looking hole that plummets into
|
||
|
|
blackness.

The Crawlway's End~
|

|
|
The crawlway shrinks away to nothing as the sandy stones of the pyramid
|
||
|
|
close together into a space through which only a snake could fit. There is
|
||
|
|
barely enough space to turn around and make your way back through the tiny
|
||
|
|
crawlway to the north.

of pharoahs and queens of this land. Much time has passed since I last

walked the earth. Disturb my rest at your peril.'

A Shining Vault~
|
||
|
|
The stones of the pyramid here take on a strange, twinkling quality,
|
||
|
|
almost seeming to shine with an internal light. As you look closer you
|
||
|
|
see tiny glass-like glittery particles within the stones, that reflect
|
||
|
|
the light from your light source so perfectly that they seem to shine.

The glassy particles reflect and refract your light source in a myriad

of dazzling colours that dance across your eyes and make you giggle.

A Massive Sand Dune~
|

|
You stand now on a massive sand dune on the southern side of
|
||
|
|
the pyramid. At the foot of the sand dune to the north you see a
|
||
|
|
small hole where the stones of the pyramid have collapsed. Not
|
||
|
|
far to the south is a massive roiling sandstorm; the wind from the
|
||
|
|
storm howls and bites at your face even here.

A Massive Sand Dune~

Somehow you managed to make your way through the howling winds
|

|
|
of the sandstorm, and clamber up on this sand dune. You can see the
|
||
|
|
storm to the north of you, and presumably the pyramid is somewhere
|
||
|
|
beyond it. Nothing but flat, featureless, open dunes of sand lie in
|
||
|
|
every other direction.
