    General Thread 2 Featured October 25 , 2006

    As a failing archaeologist, you literally tumble into an unchartered temple - the temple of Ereshkigal, Queen of the Dead. Eeek! Will you come out of this maze of passageways a Name in the archaeological world? Will you find fortune and fame or just some dirty old socks? Will you even survive this harrowing experience? No one will know until they attempt the Descent.

    For your efforts, we bestow upon you this gift.

    Now, they have come to visit you and yours.
    They spread across your world as you read.
    This is our gift to you.

    Pfft! As if some ancient curse could come to life in these modern times, you think. Just then you hear a buzzing, which continues to get louder. A swarm of locusts descends upon the chamber and your clothing. The curse must be true!
