Alzar has entered the Hidden Temple of Set

A long stairwell down is flanked by a pair of dervishes at the end and Alzar slips by them into a temple entry room, with the sign of Set on the walls. There are two ways out and Alzar heads to one with a familiar feel. A small cavern to the left of the entry room has four zombies, standing and waiting. Alzar controls them and they will follow him. They head out and attack the dervishes. Alzar wants proof, and gets it, when they try to give the zombies command words, but they fail. The dervishes die after a few rounds, and Alzar still has two zombies. He checks the bodies and finds little.

125 XP for Alzar

They continue to the next room, which is a followers purification chamber, and then a doorway. One zombie heads over to the door but several glyphs of warding discharge and kill it from fire. Alzar decides to risk it and moves through and take s10 damage from the fire, and the zombie will remain guard there.

Alzar 41/51

Alzar is in an outer temple of set with a huge stone idol of a man with a jackal’s head, and two giant red gems. It’s too high up to take right now, so h continues to a door, currently empty room, and an acolytes chamber.

There is a small chest here and a few desks. Alzar does a quick search, and uses a vial of acid on the chest. There are a quartet of smaller boxes in here that Alzar can’t deal with right now, so he grabs the small chest, made of metal, and kicks it through the doorway to the zombie – the glyphs don’t trigger for it.

(inside are magical items of various sorts, Incenses, Periapt and Phylactery)
