In short: Riddles, traps, and mummies in the Tomb of Tzentak — a narrow, bloody victory.
Summary
The Boner Bros stood at the mouth of the great Tomb of Tzentak, paying respects to the followers of The Keeper before facing the monolithic pharaoh sentinel. After several failed attempts they deciphered its riddle, whispered the word "gold," paid their toll, and were granted entry. Inside they survived a gauntlet of snake pits, mimic ladders, and a crushing ceiling halted only by a well-placed Immovable Rod.
The costs were brutal. Blackjack claimed a Ring of the Rotten; Icarus ventured into a dark void for a Wand of Secrets, only for time to warp around him, leaving his body shattered by a wave of exhaustion. In an ancient trophy room, ibis- and crocodile-headed mummies waited. Wild Fury channeled his ancestors and smote the undead with divine energy, but rotting fists knocked both him and Icarus unconscious. The tide turned when Blackjack snatched a Flame Tongue Whip from the altar and tossed it to Rik, who carved through the undead with fire. As the last mummy lunged, the arcane tension of Jack's Booming Blade snapped, vaporizing it to dust. The party was left standing — bloody, breathless, and barely victorious.
