The Black Pyramid

- Dying man

"The first fight of the evening is just started when the burned man is carried in...

From the man's condition you consider it unlikely that he will survive to see the next day...

...the poor wretch shows the usual signs of those venturing into the desert without proper precaution. The skin of his face and hands is red and sore, his lips swollen and blackened, and his knees and hands bruised and abraded from falling and probably crawling on the stretches of bare, eroded rock.

Some hours later you awake to find the stranger watching you. Although the end is near he has recovered his senses enough to relate his story..."
