They were offered a chance to spend a night in a local village by their boat captain (it was his home village) free of charge and with a night of feasting. While there, the village was raided by slavers - apparently not for the first time!Khonsu and Benga were able to slay four slavers on their own, and helped drive off several more, though Khonsu was badly hurt. Afterwards, Benga used the raid as an excuse to make a foraging expedition into the local headman's villa (he was not at home at the time). He almost set off a poison needle trap and was rewarded with a paltry sum of coins from the steward's stash.Then Harakty the wizard informed the party that he's on a quest to discover the whereabouts of his missing great-uncle. His uncle was a seeker, like Harakty. He went to a village called Heket-amsu, and was never heard from again. His order considered the uncle a bit of a time-waster, and never followed up on his disappearance. But Harakty wants to know what his fate was; he invites the PCs to accompany him and the boy Ebo to find out. Arriving in Heket-amsu, the PCs discover it is a mining town, where most of the miners have been banished for being criminals. They ask about the uncle and get no info. However, they're told of a tomb up in the hills that explorers sometimes hunt for... but they never find anything of interest.The PCs and Harakty go into the hills hunting for this tomb, hoping it might be what the uncle was looking for. The PCs are nearly ambushed by a group of four miners, but Benga heard them coming and managed to reverse the ambush. One miner, Ahmose, was taken prisoner. To win his life, he explained that there is  a second "cairn" nearby, that is far more dangerous than the one the PCs were told of. Maybe that's where Harakty's uncle went...So they hunt for and find the cairn.This is my lead-in for "The Whispering Cairn", run as a stand-alone adventure. I'm thinking that the Wind Dukes were first-age warriors in the god wars before humans lived. There's a segment of the rod of seven parts here, as the module mentions; that's what Harakty's uncle was after. And I'm thinking that if they can recover all seven sections of the rod, it would be an artifact that could draw the attention of the Gods back to Khemti. But I need advice; what other modules could I use to construct an adventure path that would be "reasonably" easy to convert to an egyptian theme? I have the old 1st Edition adventure B1, and Goodman Games "Sunken Ziggurat" adventure, but it would be hard to use them both in one campaign; they're very similar in structure and feel.Any suggestions?</blockquote>
