Protagonist
One Thousand Club
The city of Serekh is a gorgeous city, which bustles with commerce and markets. You can see travelers from afar riding into the city on giant insects, belly dancers dancing here and there, merchants carrying goods to sell on carts pulled by triceratopsoids. It's a...weird place. But despite the activity, it is not terribly crowded, and there are still many wide open spaces to run around in.
Our heroes came here for their own reasons, including to learn more about magic, to gain protecting people, and to follow rumors of new artifacts being found here. The Genasi desert always was a gold mine for artifacts.
In the larger, open places, one can see monuments and buildings being worked on by workers. Some of the working teams were paid workers (farmers displaced trying to find work while their farms were flooded over); some were slaves. You could tell by the scars on their back.
Lewis held back his disdain. As a Metatronist, he loathed slavery, but he didn't want to make a scene. They were fascinating monuments, though. He pulled out his notes and began to sketch one of the monuments being raised. It was an obelisk of some sort, to be used as a giant sundial.
Suddenly, large scarabs fly through the air, air-dropping sealed scrolls to your characters. They say:
Hello, travelers and Reclaimers! It is I, the Lesser Pharoah, Amunet. I request your presence at my temple at 8:00 PM. There is much to be gained from an audience with me, and I have a most interesting job proposal for you.
[Lewis attempts history check to see what he knows about this woman-14]
Lewis says "Huh. She's a pretty powerful mage. It's quite an honor to meet her." He was never much a magician himself. He tried to learn once, but he found that science was were his real talent was.
[You may roll history or arcana checks to see how much your characters might know about this woman. (Arcana checks work in this case because if you've studied a lot of magic you probably know a few mages]
Lewis asks "I think we should go there. Is there anything you think we should do beforehand? Or just go sight-seeing until it's time?"
