They move about 5 or 6 miles from the Trident and then camp for the night under the Hut spell. Everything is quiet.
The next day they begin to near the Pyramid of Amun-Re. Alzar swapped out Leomund’s Hut, they are close enough they aren’t going to get exposed.
That night, something odd happens. As the cool night air drains the heat from the sand, an aura of eerie menace surrounds it. The winds shift direction bearing a thin white mist towards the party from the Pyramid and points west. It swirls and dissipates. Out from where it landed steps a solitary figure, appearing from in a leopard skin robe, and ornate headpiece, decorated with many fine jewels.
He is not aware of Alzar’s presence. Alzar can feel him, as an undead. He makes his Necrology check and it’s probably a ghost. He leaves no tracks in the sand and is strangely insubstantial.
Alzar moves up and towards the figure, until he’s about 20 feet away. Then the figure looks up at him and begins to speak.
