If anything can lead us to an ending, it's a plot device. And yeah, Pyramids

You find an open entrance in the pyramid, and follow a winding tunnel inside.

You see a group of creatures who, as far as you can tell, are identical to the brightly-clad, chalk-faced clowns you met before.

Greet them

Attack them

You charge. The creatures seem to think you want to dance.
They grab your hands, and you all begin a shambling circuit of the chamber.

Clumsy though they seem, the clowns set a punishing pace, and you find it impossible to break their grip.
You dance for what seems like hours, your captors neither tiring nor uttering a sound.

Roguery roll, difficulty 20 - failed

At last you stumble and fall. The creatures don't stop their dance.
They drag you along, stepping on your legs as willingly as on the ground.

Stamina -5

This is awful! This isn't what we intended!

Abruptly, the creatures stop.

'And what can we do for you?' one asks.

Try to trade with them

'Yes!' They cry.

'Let us trade places!' They begin dancing around you, chanting a spell, as you try in vain to stop them.
At last they stop. You see that they all have your face! One holds up a mirror so you can see yourself.
To your horror, you see that you now look like a clown.



Charisma -4

Look at what you all have done!

You head for the door, awkward on your new legs like a toddler in its mother's high heels.

Luck roll, difficulty 20 - made it

No! No! You must have a parting gift!'

They throw a few shells at your feet. You gather them up, then leave.

gain 5 shells

Thanks for everything, assholes.

When you get back outside it's dark, and you decide to camp for the night.

Near dawn, you consider resting a while longer instead of setting out straight away.

Do so

Set out

Your journey is uneventful for the rest of the day. You're attacked by a herd of living houses who throw cannons out of their windows, and cat-spider hybrid monsters shoot from the cannons and try to eat you, but nothing out of the ordinary happens. In the morning you travel on.

Stamina +3

After a short rest you continue your journey.

You walk between the pyramids. In the semi-darkness you don't notice the sticky webs
that the hideous cat-spider has strung before you're caught in them.
It severs your head from your shoulders with a contented meow.



We are so very close to a real end though, so let's just roll this back a step!
For sanity's sake. Unless everyone objects.


You notice that morning dew has collected on something strung between the two pyramids,
like the web of a grotesquely large spider. You backtrack around the pyramids and into the desert.

You walk into the desert until you come to a stone column. Engraved on the column you read the following:
'Traveller, to your left you will find the Sands of All Happiness. To your right, the Sands of All Wounds.'

Go left

Go right

You travel over the sands, alert for any danger. But you find none.
In fact you feel quite light of heart, as you remember happy events in your childhood.
You think of more and more funny or touching incidents, and the sweat and thirst of the desert seems further and further away.

Streetwise roll, difficulty 16 - made it
Magic roll, difficulty 16 - ADVANCED
Heroism +2
Stamina +2



A flyspeck on the horizon grows larger, and eventually you stand before the ruined statue of Ozymandias.
The great king lies face down in a shallow oasis, ignored by the animals that a nomad is watering there.
The proud tyrant now serves as a perch for a few birds. The sight of nature placidly triumphant fills you with a great sense of peace.
Satisfied, you turn for home.



We did it. Alas, our face did not survive the journey, though there is now a pack of cats dressed as clowns roaming the countryside eating raw chickens and throwing people into hell. So that's a thing.
