Alzar loads up the shattered shards of amber from the first golem that died (worth 4750 GP and weigh 525 lbs) in a chest from the room and heads out. Alzar swings over and hours more pass and he flies over something odd. There is a force of 140 (148 actually) soldiers marching from the east. Alzar flies down and there are a group of dervishes and adjuncts from places to the east. Some of there were guarding places like the Pyramid of Amun-Re, among others. They are heads west, and then south to link up with the reserve force.
Alzar rests with them tonight after securing the amber away. In the morning he heads out with his golem and familiar on the carpet.
He skips an enemy patrol a few hours into his flight. He heads down to check out the patrol and lands onto some sandy area in between rocks on the east and south. From here, the patrol can be seen almost a mile away, but to far to make him out. He slips over to consider what to do.
As he walks a tremble can be felt, and then suddenly, a bunch of heads pop from the sand beneath him and a sand hydra is attacking him with its 9 heads!
Alzar takes 29 damage from a few head.s Because he no longer has a magical axe, he is using a backup weapon – his +2 Pesh-Kabz, a dagger-like weapon. He does know how to use it, so he gets 3 attacks every 2 turns, and the shield-bash too. But its harder to hit and such. He casts Hold Monster while the golem moves in. And….-4 penalty to the spell (Can the monsters get unlucky three times in a row…rolls a 9, - to 5 – that’s a fail). Paralyzed. Alzar slays it easily.
The Carpet heads on a few moments later.
