Sekh-at met with Zach and Dru that first morning near Hama Natra. Zach was an enigma. Clearly on a journey; although to where, Sekh-met had not yet revealed to Sekh-at. She'd had recommendation of the tortle, Dru. His brother had a great success in Professor Brock's initial discovery of the ruined city. Hopefully it would rub off. Zach's acquaintance Ali joined them.

There was still work to do to get the permit they needed from the Temple of Bast. Her companions surprised her. Somehow they avoided the ire of Am-wa, the head priest. Sekh-at came away with the scroll clutched firmly in her paw, signed and sealed. The temple's only request: recover the legendary Bloodstone of the Kashu Bishara, the Crimson Pharaoh. Or at least prevent the acolytes of Set from retrieving it...

The ruined city was vast. There were several groups already investigating various areas. Professor Brock's team (of course). A second team from the Smoke - the Institute of Curiosities, an Ionian team, and a group of ambassadors from the City of Daggers. Consulting with the Institute of Curiosities, they were introduced to Mr Cole Buckle and Miss Fidelia Missing. Both were suffering from the heat in their very traditionally Smokey garb. More importantly, they had identified a promising area of ruins for further exploration; so promising, indeed, that minions of Set had run them off.

A quick trip to the Yellowfang kasbah with Zach solved the problem of desert-friendly clothing.

Now for the ruins! Trekking across the site took time. Dru kept them on track.

Arriving at the site, acolytes of Set sought to bar their way. A skirmish ensued, with acolytes of Set sacrificing themselves to empower their brethren, targeting Sekh-at for destruction. Instead, they found their doom as Ali gleefully unleashed Magic! The blasting power of EEFIEE.

The power of EEFIEE had cleared them a way. Now the exploration could begin!
