Sand has been cleared away from a large plaza with an ornamental gateway, two immense stone doors, on its south side. Over the gateway, the hieroglyphics have been chiseled off.
When you turn a sharp corner in the curtained passage, you find yourself in an Egyptian tomb.
Hieroglyphics decorate the stone walls.
The tomb is mostly made up of a maze of narrow corridors and cramped chambers. The tomb as a whole is shaped like a backwards “L” or a forwards “J”) with the gateway in the “heel.” The foot of the L points south, and the leg of the L points west. Should the PCs attempt to leave, the doors will (of course) swing shut.
The shorted south wing contains a large and ornate temple to Anubis. Closer examination conveys that it is also a temple to Kanis, the black knight. It also has a richly decorated corridor leading down three flights of rock-cut stairs to a sealed chamber. The basalt door is counterweighted and cannot be opened by anything.
The longer west wing contains large and ornate temples to Thoth and Set, though closer examination conveys that they are also temples to Nemos and Kavan.
In front of you, an English explorer peers into an enormous open sarcophagus. Lurking behind him with arms out stretched is the mummy. The mummy lumbers forward and grabs the Englishman in a stranglehold. After the explorer is killed, the two figures return to their original positions, and the entire episode repeats.
Suddenly, you are shocked to see that the explorer has changed his routine. He turns to stare right at you.
In a shrill voice he screams, "The mummy's curse is upon you!"
