A quest?!?! Thats what Aapep has given us... Are we worthy and clever enough to decipher his clues? Wrongskian, BlueGrass, and Pinger think so!! They embarked on a journey that lead then all over Egypt, following clues that lead them to the final location in which Pinger found Aapeps request. It was a recipe...a recipe that called for items that would cure Het-Iah's contition.

Khaemwaset has recorded the quest: UWorship in Meroe. First Scroll A scroll has appeared from the depths of the Uworship of meroe! This is the journal of the end of Se-Osiris, great magician of Egypt. I feel now that my time has come to go from this life and join Osiris in the Halls of the Dead, but the Goddess Isis has decreed that I leave behind a part of my work, for it shall be needed in later times. The Goddess came to me last night, telling me that I was to write the words that she would send, and place them in places that would be revealed as the story progressed. The first piece is to be placed in the Great Library, but I know not what it will say. I must await the arrival of the Goddess into my heart. -It seems that his writing here was severely impaired, maybe it was the prescence of the Goddess, or merely his excitement, we cannot tell - Aapep. In a land of fighting, When one brother claims the crown, One by one, Shall great secrets be struck down. The first piece of Justice, To right the sinners wrong, Shall be found in a firebird's nest, Who sings without a song.


Phoenix In a land of treachery, Where criminals run amok, One place only, Is secure without key or lock. A giant of the land, Who once walked from shore to shore, He sits enthroned in stoney shell, To walk this land no more. (P on map)


Turtle The rivers are of royalty, Their twins flows mix to one, The interflowing currents, Speak volumes of sparring son. Seek on the tip, The spearpoint of the land, Buried in the golden, Ever flowing sand.


sparring Brothers My next piece is left to those, Who build with brick and lime, Their most enduring masterpiece, Which stands the test of time. Search you to the west, Of this most impressive feat, And marvel at the time, And weight upon the feet. (S on map)


Pyramid Now my eyes grow weary, My quill feels like softest lead, My legs will barely carry me, And yet I still have far to tread. Go now to the place, Of one so newly dead, A stranger to this land, Who shall follow the path I tread.


My final time aproaches, My journey almost done, I sit ontop a hill, to watch the rising sun. Yet no! I shall not go in peace! The earth shall mourn my passing, And give me my release. Witness the fury, As I stand here proud, Fire and brimstone, And thunder crack out loud. Down shall go Se-Osiris, Yet not in stone-cold tomb. I shall breathe my last, In Osiris' flamey plume.

Know then that I, Se-Osiris have set this tablet here as the final piece of the riddle of Isis. It is by the Goddess' will that this tablet is here, and by the Goddess' will alone that it will be revealed. Yet, as I approach the final chapter of my life, I start to feel a nagging resentment. I am Se-Osiris, my death shall be of MY choosing! I shall not be a piece moved in a game any longer! I shall write this tablet, then I shall make my exit of this world. The land around shall shake and tremble, molten rock shall flow upon the surrounding lands like water, and the should shall traverse the world! Osiris himself will tremble with his kingdom, and the World of the Dead shall know that Se-Osiris is on his path! I, Se-Osiris, shall be a pawn no longer! Elixir of Isis 1 Khefre's Essence to allow the medicine to travel the body 300 Silver Powder to displace poisonous base metals 6 Flowers of GoldenLeaves to absorb the gold 100 Lime to stabilise the body 20 Sea-Lilly bulbs to filter the organic compounds 3 pieces of ground marble to remove the alchemic toxins It's at Saqq 147, -1971
