Vengeance Of Ubastes Operation In Cairo Egypt 241110

In the year 2024, under the cover of night near Cairo, Egypt, a tense struggle unfolded in the shadows of a recently discovered pyramid. The mission was clear yet daunting: to extract an alabaster statuette of Ma'at, believed to possess the mystical ability to enforce truthfulness in those around it. Amongst the daring souls embroiled in this dangerous undertaking were Vindicta, Percy, Novel, and Elias. Each harbored their own motivations, but together they delved into the conflict, navigating the treacherous terrain and the assault of weather-roughened tomb raiders fiercely guarding their illicit treasures. The moonlit desert became an arena of a silent yet deadly battle of wills and skills.

In the heart of the desert's chilling embrace, amidst swirling icy mists and the sharp ring of steel, alliances were tested, and mettle was proven. Percy, wielding a Lee-Enfield rifle with precise determination, and Novel, with his crossbow ready, fought valiantly against the tomb raiders. Elias, meanwhile, conjured icy mists to subdue their opponents, a testament to the arcane powers some of the combatants wielded. As the confrontation reached its zenith, Vindicta emerged clutching the coveted statuette of Ma'at, their objective tantalizingly within reach. The relentless pursuit by the tomb raiders, however, was unyielding, forcing Vindicta and Elias to make a strategic withdrawal towards the extraction point, their spirits bolstered by the eventual fading of their adversaries into the nightmare of defeat. In the end, the storm clouds parted as the Combative Alliance stood victorious, safeguarding the ancient relic and bearing it away from the clutches of those who sought to misuse its power.
At Sat Nov 9 2024, in a desert near Cairo, Egypt

Mission: Extract an alabaster statuette of Ma'at from the combat area and bring it to the extract point.

Back in early 2023, a new corridor was found in the northern side of the Pyramid of Khufu, leading to many questions on whether it was simply a way to redistribute the weight of the large Giza pyramid, or whether it lead to further hidden chambers within the construct. Many have tried to infiltrate the pyramid's secretive, hidden corridor to find out the truth in person rather than through the aide of robotics and 3D depictions. As such ...

Rumors whispered through Cairo and worldwide is that the corridors have been slowly excavated by raiders and a new chambers has been unearthed, full of artifacts that belonged to the Pharoah Khufu -- that of gold and rubies and other precious commodities. To include various alabaster statues. Most of these statues were unfinished or destroyed during initial excavations in the upper chambers, but the new chamber revealed fully intact statues, and not of Khufu himself, but of women, perhaps those of unidisclosed wives, or mistresses.

Some are purported to hold magical qualities, such as the alabaster statuette of Ma'at. Which, when worn, is said to make people unable to speak falsehoods. The statuette itself if fairly small, able to be worn, and resembles the Goddess herself, with an ostrich feather in her hair.

"Now waiting game," Vindicta grumbles as she lays flat on her stomach, staring in the direction that the tomb raiders seem to be pouring in from with her rifle at the ready. "These type worst, but at least have good company, yes?" inquires the petite femme.

"Yes, the company seems good. I am glad to see you recovered nicely. You were in rough shape when we were fighting the dragon cultists." Elias says to Vindicta, his gaze drifting up towards the sky, "I hate that fire lizard."

"Very bad dragon. Not good," Vindicta tells Elias in a way that suggests she doesn't understand the implications of those words, turning her attention southwest once more as she stares through her scope.
