Chronology - Update

30th of Riyah: After teleporting at the edge of the city of Sokkar, our heroes seek shelter in teh shade of the Mausoleums. They notice tracks going down the street, towards the center of the city. As they investigate, they reach the Plaza of Eternity, located in the center of the necropolis. They investigate the pyramids of the plaza and as the sun sets, they notice the great granite doors, a 125 feet high, starting to fade as the sun disapears in the darkness. The group also hears a voice coming. Farooq turns invisible and investigates adn founds a a man, writing down the wall inscriptions into a book. Trying to scare the man, Farooq gets discovered while trying to "borrow" Ishooq's book. After a brief introduction, they all went in to meet the Undying.

After a talk with Noq the Inspired, Merodach the Deprived and Arun the Ever Vigilant, the group is faced with a decision: they need a fourth (living) member to get the Key to Ur from the Pyramid of Borsippa. Still not trusting the scribe, they overcome that and asks hi to join. Arun gives the Ankh of Opening to Farooq and recommend waiting for the day and prepare and to not disturb the Kings sleep for the results would be disastrous.

1st of Nau: Farooq opens the door to the pyramid of Borsippa and as soon as our heroes step in the archway, they all fell pray to a symbol of pain, wracking their bodies with agony. Pressing on and enduring the pain, our heroes face the first sealed door. Farooq investigates both levers and found they both have the same mechanisim. Using Ishooq's knowledge of Chun, they figure out which lever to pull and gain access to the king's chamber. After inspecting the chamber, our heroes pressed on the lower level to enter a chamber with four statues that hold a brazier.
"Those who seek the key must sacrifice body and spirituality". Our heroes found two altars, each taking its toll as they put their hands to lit the brazier in the main chamber. Holding the statues, they open the door to a huge room.

As Ishooq translated the gruesome history of Borsippa from the wall carvings, our heores found out that the King conjured devils to complete his pyramid since the population was dying off. Farooq inserted the key in the only opening on the steps to reveal yet another altar. The heroes placed their hands and as the altar burned the key into their hand, Barbazus, pledged to protect the treasure of the pyramid, appeared and summoned an horde of Lamesus and began attacking our heroes. As Ramhani carved through the ranks of the Lemures, Saladin, Farooq and Ishooq were hard pressed to keep the Barbazus attacks at bay. Saladin tried a fireball to thin out the numbers but sadly realised as a Barbazu dug his glaive in his skin that devils are immune to fire. As our heroes felt the power of the infernal wounds inflicted by the barbazus, they prevailed and banished those creature to the abyss wence they came.

Exiting the pyramid and waiting for night fall to bring back the key to the Keepers, our heroes get the permission to leave the city from the Undying.

2nd of Nau to the 10th of Nau: Travel back to Qadid on flying carpet.
