Alaerin made his way over and successfully took the Jade Flute! He was able to study it, the strange ethereal aura it gave off didn’t seem to feel like anything to him, other then the immediate air around his hands feeling cooler.
As he examined the scroll tube, and opened it, what slid out was a very old piece of parchment, it looked like it was a very old map of more of the desert border area, little logos that looked like settlements which no longer existed in the modern day, but there were actually a couple which might still exist or at the very least more modern settlements had taken their place, but perhaps more interestingly there were a few parts of the map that were marked with x’s.
Beneath the map on the border it also looked like there could have been some sort of music notes written in old Beastial which Alaerin couldn’t easily understand, and likely nor could AnoYi very well even if he looked at it, it was far removed from the standard music playing practice which was more commonly found in the current day. Perhaps it was related to the map.
AnoYi meanwhile accurately translated what he saw on the wall, and it seemed like his words were well spoken.
Suddenly not that long after the map had been revealed the whole chamber began to shake slightly and a loud rumbling sound filled the area, the door which had opened for them now closed, and the ceiling above them began to open up as if by magic, larger enough so that the floor beneath them in the room could fit easily, and not unlike a much more rustic elevator, the room began to rise from deep below the sands back toward the surface, a magic transparent energy field of sorts protecting them, as the eyes on the statues glowed, until after quite some time of travel, they found themselves back in the Desert, the evening orangey yellow sky above them, casting a golden glow across the sands, it was decidedly chilly.
And just like that the desert sands below them began to reform as if it had been undisturbed until they found themselves all on the ground once again.
Thankfully as was custom the Faazi Merchant Guild had given the group a wooden pendant to which they could use to drop their location and inform them of their success. In due time a caravan came to collect them, apparently they had not been dropped off too far away from a West Empire trade route, which allowed them to be retrieved, and upon delivering the flute to a Faazi Merchant Guild group representative they were paid accordingly for a successful job.

3. **Summary of the Roleplay**
- The party was requested by the Faazi Merchant guild, a Merchant Guild from the Fae see, in retrieving a rare Jade dragon flute artifact from a tomb of a long ago empire in a temple/tomb underneath the desert between the Kingdom and West Empire border. The group explored the temple.
The group eventually meet Tombkeeper Gutou after defeating a pair of golems, and defeating a magically held underground octopus like creature. They get the trial orbs needed to clear the first set after defeating the octopus and clearing a dangerous obstacle course with a wall trap and magic projectile sentries before fighting Gutou himself, his arena champion, as well as skeletons as a final tombkeeper challenge before they are permitted to take the jade dragon flute. They then are successfully brought back up to the surface, near a major trade route, and the Faazi merchant guild picks them up where they successfully deliver their loot.
