Beneath the Sands: Session Notes

Session 2

We meet Set
Needs to find Horus (Suddenly missing)
- Couldn’t find him because he isn’t on sand currently

Jaf’s wife is okay with Jaf moving temporarily
Syndra has a vision
- Both of Horus’ eyes were sucked out during a tornado

Got attacked by dogs on the boat on the Nile to Heliopolis
- Seemed to be targeting Alphonse

Decided to continue to Heliopolis
Arrive, and see temple, construction areas, and a market
Sapt looking for a ring adorned with a brass globe
Shopping trip in the market! (Mixed with some stealing/kebabs)
Meet Chief architect of pyramid with black granite
- Gave a map that constantly updates, showing the path to a city BENEATH THE SANDS!
Granite came from a dream vision they had with the Eye of Horus
Bad dream tn.

Get clapped

People wanted Jaf to move to Heliopolis, but were surprised when he came back
Alphonse discerns that. People want to lure champions of gods to where they’re going to be trapped
Saddiq: Moonlight like magic
- Gives Syndra a sick robe
Cyrus has a discussion with the Captain of the Palace Guards
- Cyrus has been talking with the captain about his “time off”, it appears the captain doesn’t necessarily think anything’s up, so the orders would’ve been coming from further up
- Mirror is a magic mirror to watch others
- Got stabbed by a doppelgänger of the captain
Jaf’s wife is mad at him for getting in danger :(.
- They have an intense argument about how to avoid danger

Trying to find clues with the gang
- Searching viser’s office of journals that need mirror to read
Arun spars with the Pharoh (Amos)
- Finds out he got a moonstone (evolve jigglypuff?)
Genies are op, op w.r.t. what they can access
The party meets “The Cook” (Carlos, pre Chaz Cook)
In the royal library:
- Cyrus learns that
  - Genies are elemental, not divine
  - The powa of the genies is the same as the powa of the sun
  - His Genie is different
- Arun asks Saddiq about his dream with Horus
  - Saddiq tells him that he may have 3 patrons (Set, Horus, Moon?)
- Alphonse learns some things that make him more ostracised
Carlos says the map is meant to be confusing, and always shows its current location as the origin?
- The city might be a path to the underworld
We get ganked

Jaf almost dies
Cyrus gets a sick Nat 20 roll to use his genie to blow away enemies
Arune jumps on top of Jaf to stabilize him until Syndra saves him
We interrogate one of the attackers
Spatial distortion with map is occurring, whereas attacking enemies were able to find us.
People keep targeting Sapt and Alphonse.
- Interrogating the person leads to a scuttle where Sapt Aten gains cult following.
