Adventure Summary

Level Range: 5–7 | Party Size: 3–5 players
A sand-buried tomb in the desert holds a cursed prophecy and a hidden truth. The party must navigate traps, ancient guardians, and moral choices to uncover the pharaoh’s secret—before the tomb claims them.

Background

Centuries ago, Pharaoh Kemet-Ka ruled a kingdom that vanished into the sands. His tomb, sealed with magic, was said to contain the key to immortality. But the pharaoh’s final act was a curse: any who seek his treasure will be bound to his fate. Now, the tomb has resurfaced, its walls etched with a prophecy in blood that whispers of doom.

The Hook

A caravan leader hires the party to investigate a strange phenomenon: a sandstorm that left a half-buried tomb exposed. Upon arrival, the party discovers the prophecy scrawled in blood on the tomb’s entrance—“The king’s truth shall break the chains of time.” The tomb’s guardian, a mummified priest, warns that the pharaoh’s soul is not yet at rest.
