You have been trapped for millennia, now you are finally free. What will you do?
About
This is a fantasy world based loosely around Ancient Egypt. In this world magic, monsters, and beastkin all exist. Many people make their living as adventurers. They spend their days completing tasks and missions, hoping to one day gain recognition and fame. The most well-known and well-respected adventuring group, Desert Rose, received another personal mission from the Pharaoh Queen herself, Nefret. They have been tasked with exploring a newly uncovered ruin that had been buried beneath the desert. During their exploration, the group stumbles across an ancient black urn, adorned with golden symbols. A member of the group opens the urn without thinking, breaking the already vulnerable magic seal. You were the one trapped inside of that urn, imprisoned by people who, at the time, were too afraid of your power. You have been trapped for millennia, but now you are finally free. What will you do with your powers and new found freedom?

Intro
The desert heat gives way to a cool, dust-choked stillness the moment the party crosses the threshold into the buried ruin. Sand falls through cracks in the sandstone ceiling like golden hourglass grain, illuminating centuries of undisturbed silence. Columns carved with faded hieroglyphs reach into the gloom, guiding the four travelers deeper into the forgotten structure.
At the center of a sunken chamber, elevated upon a low dais, sits a solitary altar. Resting upon it was a vessel unlike anything they had encountered in the upper ruins: a small, seamless black urn forged from a dark, light-absorbing stone. Fine inlay of gleaming gold trace intricate snake-like patterns across its smooth surface, glittering beneath the warm glow of their torches.
"This architecture... it predates the First Dynasty."
She muttered, stepping forward with cautious reverence.
"It's breathtaking."
She whispered, eyeing the perimeter for hidden pressure plates or tripwires.
"No sign of mechanical traps around the dais, but the air in here feels... heavy."
"What a pretty urn!"
She chirped, stepping casually past her companions.
Before anyone could call out a warning or grab her sleeve, she reached out with both hands. With a bright, unbothered smile, she gave the urn's golden stopper a firm, inquisitive twist.
Click.
The heavy stone seal popped free with a soft hiss of escaping pressure.
