	Thanks to several Levitate spells and a Silence spell, the Runners can safely pass through a room with a stone guardian and all the traps along the way. They find the Sarcophagus in the top of the pyramid and after a prayer interlude they can open a secret compartment underneath the sarcophagus and take a diamond. This fits perfectly into a picture representing the underworld in the room with the stone guardian. When you insert the diamond, a secret door opens and opens the way to the depths of the pyramid. They follow a staircase and find a fountain filled with blood. All runners sacrifice blood into the well and get back some of their life force. A hidden door in the wall opens and the runners move on. They find the high priest and a very large soldier as well as some jackals. Thanks to a good combination of spells from Glamro and Swerve, all the enemies can be eliminated except for the soldier. The soldier manages to sink a throwing spear into Glamor, bringing her to the brink of death. Pell can finally take out the soldier together with La Rapide. Another staircase leads even deeper into the pyramid. At the bottom, a stone sphinx is waiting for them, holding a book in its paws (the object they are looking for). She poses a riddle that Glamor solves in seconds. The sphinx releases the book but warns explicitly not to open it. <br>		Thanks to several Levitate spells and a Silence spell, the Runners can safely pass through a room with a stone guardian and all the traps along the way.

	The guard appears again by changing the entire scene. The runners are now on a tropical island at 40 degrees and sunny. Fortunately, the Banshee are still metahuman. After a short conversation and another warning not to open the book, the guard opens a portal that leads back. The runners leave the meta plane with the book. In the underwater cave they first make contact with Emely and ask her for help, because they are very battered to leave the cave. At the exit of the cave they discover some metahuman corpses that have been bitten to pieces. They cautiously continue to grope as the contact with Emely breaks off and a huge shadow moves towards them. Sea Dragon makes her personal appearance and demands the artifact from the ~~runes~~, which they hand over without resistance. Afterwards, the dragoness has a short conversation with Swerve in which she reveals that she knows Swerve works for Nebelherr. She gives Swerve the message for Nebelherr that he can bathe in the ocean if he wishes, but that he should be careful because the ocean is much rougher than his little pond. Then she swims away. With the help of Emely, who is back in contact with them, the runners manage to board the boat and collect their payment. <br>		The guard appears again by changing the entire scene.
