A hall of immense size and grandeur, the walls are decorated with lavish drawings depicting the life of Pharoah Anrion. He is shown to be a hard, cruel and unforgiving man. The murderer of many wives and children. On the panels of the walls are insets which have holes in them, like something is meant to slot into them.

There is a hole in the wall in this room, which leads into the chute.

[Dar appears midair and falls to the floor, rolling over until she stops.]

[As does Luke.]

::Dar bounces when she lands, and rolls, rolls, rolls and rolls some more. She stops lying flat-out, spread-eagled and face-down in the dust, dazed.::

::As Luke drops to the floor, he rolls over but that doesn't last long because he rams into the wall and bumps his head.::

"Ow..."

[And now? Sharon, Veronica and Dante.]

::Sharon bites her lip extremely hard as she falls through the air, and skids to a stop slowly, her eyes shut.::

(Oh dear God.)

::She slowly opens them, but doesn't get up because it hurts.::

::Dar slowly pushes herself up and looks around, confused.::

"Where..."

"Freakin' pyramid!"

::Dante is excited despite their situation::

"At least Azura can't follow us here! I doubt time travel is one of her new evil powers."

"I'm pretty sure I saw her travel through time once, actually."

::Veronica mutters after getting up and dusting herself off. She's starting to panic.::

::Sharon slowly pushes herself into a sitting position and groans as she sees the dust and dirt on her trousers.::

(Oh for God's sake.)

"Oh yes Dante, this is a fantastic situation to be in. Doubtless we're going to be attacked by countless more mummies and... zombies, but at least Azura isn't here!"

"Pyramid...? What are you talking about?"

::Luke slowly gets up into a sitting position, leaning his back against the wall. His eyes slowly open.::

"Oh."

"... don't be ridiculous, Sharon. You don't get zombies in Egypt!"

::Dar frowns.::

"Then again, I suppose if mummies keep coming alive... I say, this is an exhibition, isn't it? America really does go all out!"

"No, Dar, this is not an exhibition. This is magic. Yet again."

"Stop sounding so bitter. It's not everyday you get to visit a pyramid."

::He goes to look at the stuff on the walls and smiles happily::

"And it's not everyday a Mummy FROM HELL sucks you into one."

"I was perfectly happy viewing it from a glass house in San Francisco, where you aren't likely to get killed."

(...)

"Or starve to death, anyway."

"We just had tea! That'll keep you going. And shut up, Luke, you know perfectly well this isn't exactly a strange occurence. This kind of thing happens all the time."

::Veronica frantically brushes the dust off her jeans.::

::Luke stands himself up and looks around the corridor, clutching his head every now and then. His attention is suddenly focused on the wall's graphics.::

"This is totally gross. Don't they have vacuums in Egypt? Geez."

::A booming voice sounds through the hall, resonating through the walls and filling the room. It's in a strange language, one with gutteral, throaty sounds, but somehow you can all understand it.::

"Who is it that walks in my dominion?"

::Luke jumps back at the blaring sound and looks around for the disembodied voice.::

::Sharon spins around, expecting another mummy.::

(Someone say something!)

"Hello? Where are you?"

"We were sent here by one of your minions. Falsely acused of thievery."

::Dante calls out, trying to get his voice to have the same booming effect but failing quite miserably::

"Dante, try orbing out of here."

"I can't yet. I'm stuck with TK for a little while longer."

::To try and get it out of his system faster he makes randomly swirls in the dust and attempts to pull it all from Veronica's clothes::

"TK?"

::Dar looks at the fresh marks in the sand with interest.::

"Telekinesis, Dar."

::Dar looks blank.::

[So y'know, teleportation powers won't work. You'll orb out, then in again a second later. Like we needed to tell you. You won't even be able to teleport elsewhere in the pyramid - you'll always reappear in the exact same place.]

"..."

"What's wrong, Dar?"

"What the bloody Joneses is telekinesis?"

"Moving things with mind. Doing things like... uh, cleaning a table with a feather duster without touching the duster or throwing Azura out of a window without actually shoving her with your hands."

::Vince takes orbing on and disapears, reappaing seconds later on the spot::

"Of course that happened."

::Luke scoffs.::

"Lovely. Just lovely."

::Luke's eyes wander back to Dar.::

"Does that make any sense to you?"

"State who you are, intruders, so I may know whom it is that shall rest with me!"

::Luke is once again distracted by the booming voice and swallows.::

"What will happen to us if we don't tell you?"
