She moves to lock the front door and draw down the curtains. After she is done she returns to the doorway pulling back the beads. "This way," she says with slight annoyance in her voice. ___________________________________________The group walks through the curtained hallway that turns to the left and finds a set of double doors a jar at the end of the hall. With Kella behind them ushering them forward they enter a room much like the one they found in The Sand Sage's sanctum. Shelves are about everywhere and full of strange and unique items. In the center of the room they find Tregin standing at a table next to Ilestaem himself. The young human looks small and almost a child compared to the large armed and armored half-orc."Ah my friends it has been to long. To long indeed." Tregin says moving around the table to greet everyone. "I trust the desert, she has been kind to you all."*Ahrmm* Ilestaem coughs from behind the man. Tregin smiles and turns. "Everyone please come. I wish you to meet our benefactor," he says going to the side of the table."This is Ilestaem Dehi'r. And he wishes to speak to you about the sanctum where we found this." Tregin says indicating a map that sits unrolled on the table. It is weighted down by three carved pyramids place on it with a small golden scorpion statue in the center."This is an incredible find gentlemen," the lanky, stubble faced human says looking to the map. "And I wish to know...""Ilestaem! Manners please. Introductions are in order," his wife says bring a cistern of cool water and goblets for everyone."Wha-? Oh if you must," the man says waving a hand as if to get on with introductions.[sblock=OOC] Introductions and Perception checks if you wish to have a better look at the incredible find. Don't forget things like guidance and what not.[/sblock][sblock=Perception DC 5]The map looks to be of the Tal'Duporian Empire showing where its boundaries end and where the sea once was. [sblock=DC 10] The pyramids holding the map down are actually positioned where they are in the real world. Each of the three pyramids are near the three major cities of the desert.[sblock=DC 15] There is a key on the right corner of the map surrounded by runes but the language is unknown to you.[sblock=DC 20]The scorpion statue sits on a blue spot near the center of the map. There seems to be writing under it as well.[/sblock][/sblock][/sblock][/sblock][sblock=Know Geography DC 10]The blue spot may very will be Bileth's Bizarre. A known oasis that is a midway stop for many caravans. [sblock=DC 15] Nobody can make this check but I will let it nag at you. <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f61b.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":p" title="Stick out tongue    :p"  data-smilie="7"data-shortname=":p" />[/sblock][/sblock]</blockquote>
