Board Thread:What Would You Do?/@comment-31845764-20170508230705

You are a renowned archeologist, known for finding various old artifacts thought to be lost to the ages, uncovering the ruins of ancient civilizations and overall, contributing to history. Every single one of your adventures are filled with treasure and dangers alike, and you almost always end up putting you life at stake... Though the risk of death is considerably lower than that of being made some mamono's unwilling husband.

For your next expedition, you're planning on traveling to the desert in order to venture into the infamous Pyramid of Khemmis (placeholder name). Going by what you've heard, the nearby town holds a legend about a certain treasure hidden away deep inside of the pyramid. According to it, the artifact, named the Golden Tome, is a source of ancient and long since forgotten knowledge said to have been gifted to the original humans who once inhabited the region by the gods themselves.

At least that's what you've heard, anyways. No doubt the legend could very well be just a lure, set up by hungry mamonos to catch some foolish treasure hunters seeking to make a fortune out of a precious relic. If you didn't know better, you would probably be amongst those men. But, perhaps knowing better won't make a lot of difference to the end result. Ever heard of the saying that every legend has a bit of truth in it? So, if it's true, even the slightest bit, then whatever artifact may be buried deep within that pyramid must be reclaimed and donated to a museum for study!

So, in the end, you decide to settle down at the town's bar for a few days to decide on what the best course of action to take would be. First things first, you'll have to find a way to get past the Sphinx and her riddles without succumbing to her charm spell. Then, after managing to get yourself into the pyramid, you will need to make your way through traps, definitely a few Mummies, and maybe an Anubis or two as well. Afterwards you'll grab the artifact, make your way out, donate it to a museum, and consider your adventure complete with another great contribution to humankind.

It sounds so simple and easy on paper... Everything does, really. And yet, your experience as both an adventurer and archeologist taught you that reality is not always so kind. Once again you'll be putting your life on the line for the sake of greater good and historical knowledge, but... If not you, then who else to own up to that responsibility?

Well, enough mumbling and more gearing up for your adventure ahead, you're not gonna get anywhere if you keep staring at your plans the whole day.

Now, What Will You Do?
