Flatulas looks steadily across the world table directly at Hel. She knew Hel was - well not praying, but hoping that the die would give her a difficult move. She rolled a 10 and a 5. Checking the chart she saw it was a zombie and her face fell. With a popping noise she leaned forward over the world table. She blushed, hoping people would think that it was her chair creaking and focused on the board. And focused. And focused.
Wilson shook his head sure he could hear dice tumbling, but there was nothing nearby, and no-one. He wasn't entirely sure where he was, he'd been walking for days, the hot sun burning through his clothes. His skin felt hot and tight, it was peeling and cracked in this dry air. His water had run out this morning and in every direction he could only see more sand. On dragging feet he slowly made his way up another dune, sweat sticking his clothes to him. He had sad everywhere, he could even feel it between the cheeks of his arse, rubbing him raw everywhere.
Reaching the top of the dune he paused and looked around, searching for any hint of moisture in this barren landscape. Facing back the way he had come he saw the weaving tracks he'd made in the sand, drunk with thirst. Turning once more to face the way he was headed, Wilson became dizzy and falling began to tumble down the dune.
He came up hard against something, his head knocking into a stone and he finally stopped rolling. Clutching his head in his hands he looked up at the dune he'd just fallen down and his jaw sagged open in astonishment.
In the side of the dune was a door. Getting on his hands and knees, eyes fixed on the door Wilson made his painful way towards it. Reaching it he could see it had been uncovered from the sand by his fall, and though there was still a considerable amount in front of it, it would take much to clear it completely.
An hour later, Wilson finally had it clear and with much pulling and tugging had the door open enough to peer inside. Wilson could feel a cool damp breeze coming from the the tunnel beyond and almost fell to his knees in thanksgiving, but he didn't. He didn't believe in the Gods.
Pulling again on the door, Wilson entered, and slowly, his fingers running lightly over the surprisingly clean walls moved forward.
Ahead he saw a dim light and the trickle of running water, moving quicker now, he turned neither right nor left but made a bee-line to the water. To his surprise he was in a lighted chamber with a clear fountain in the center. He saw no more as he began to scoop water into his hands and drink.
A heavy hand dropped onto his back and Wilson choked in surprise and fear. Turning slightly to see who had assaulted him he was stunned to see a four foot tall wrapped Mummy standing before him with one hand out. In a small quivering little boys voice it said "Will you be my friend?"
Flatulas looked up at the other gods and smiled - who said a mummy had to be mean and big?
