We were spending a few days in Har’Akir to meet scholars there, actually looking to identify the symbols found by our uncle on Ivana’s Death Stone long ago.
But we also had read about Anhktepot’s tomb in his notes, and were eager to explore it, and at least locate it on a map. Because this place was said to be a den of evil according to our uncle. Alas, nobody in the small hamlet of Muhar wanted to show us the way, less escort us there. Dogs, they said, large dogs in the desert near the crypt. But not ordinary wild dogs, they said. They told us of two-headed dogs and we wondered for a while if they were not pulling our leg. Later, Allam, one of the scholars we were to meet, confirmed the existence of these two-headed dogs strangely confining themselves to the crypt surrounding area.
Unprepared to fight magical beasts this time, we didn’t go near the crypt.
