Great Pyramid

Search the ruins of the ancient temple for hidden treasures.

Event flow

We found a nice bay to drop the anchor in. The pyramid should be close, but the jungle is thick.
An eerie silence looms over the ruins. At least the towering silhouette of the Great Pyramid provides a welcome shadow.
In the last chamber we find what we were looking for. The Great Pyramid’s treasure is ours!
As we fill our bags with booty, our attention is caught by a fresco depicting another of the ancients’ great cities. Above the pyramids floats a golden skull…
The ruins have defeated us. Maybe the stories are true. Maybe they are indeed cursed…
The Great Pyramid holds a one-time treasure of immense value. You may attempt its trials repeatedly, but the reward can only be claimed once.
