    Something blocks the scrying, giving Goodie a tremendous headache and a nose bleed.

    "ONE WARNING MASTER" says a calm voice, in fact in a non-threatening tone.

    A giant flash blasts in front of BandyLegs and Ekbard.

    A red dragon slightly bigger than a horse lands in front of the pair.

    Bandylegs turns around from inspecting the pyramid entrance to see the dragon.

    'Sweet mother o'Dumathoin! What the hell be goin' on?

    Be ye friend or foe? Speak!'

    "Hello there dragon, come here for a drink i suppose, let me move out of your way so you can get easy access to the water, important to keep hydrated in the desert.

    What do folk around hear call you? Are you pals with Bill?"

    Bandylegs sees Ekbard conversing with the dragon, shrugs and tries to enter the pyramid through the side entrance.

    Goodie recognises the mental presence from the Shire scyring he did a few weeks ago.

    Pyramid:
    BandyLegs enters into a library filled with shelves holding scrolls. Probably over a thousand scrolls in total.

    BandyLegs can hear odd wails from the rest of the pyramid.

    Two tents with beans on a gentle boil lie in the center of the room in a clearing among the shelves.

    To the south is a set of stairs.

    Bandylegs inches forward and gently opens one of the flaps on one of the tents.

    Ekbard shoots the shelves and scrolls with the laser gun.

    There is some food cooking. Good quality stuff, meat, beans and eggs.

    Some lower quality swords and bows lie here. Well good quality, but not to the party's standards. At least one Cleric is among the group that used these tents.

    Bandylegs walks over to Ekbard.

    'Not a fan o'literature laddie? Well... ye might be more interested in this.'

    Bandylegs takes out the geasa scroll and has his axe explain the power of it to Ekbard. Then he hands it to him.

    'Mind it. Use it in times o'real peril my friend. I have an ill feeling that I shall ne'er return from here.'

    Bandylegs heads to the stairs.

    "I was hoping to start a big fire, the likes that would cause the place to fill up with smokes, and cause everyone within to have to go out to get fresh air..... Didn't I already share that plan with you?"

    Bandylegs shakes his head.

    'I dinnae think that will work laddie. Go back if you wish, I must push on.'

    "Depends on the population of the race I guess, I doubt dwarves as a whole could be affected.

    And a god? No way!"

    BandyLegs descends the stairs. To a room with several skeletal corpses on the ground reaching out, almost pleading. None are reanimated, but almost seem so from the poses. Death must have happened instantly.

    The clothing on some looks martial.

    Ekbard recognises some as wearing ancient Nerosian garb.

    Bandylegs casts Detect Magic on the area with the corpses.

    Lingering traces of some powerful energy spell, but nothing currently active.

    "I was thinking more about a tale that a grumpy nerosian man told me a while ago. There is this race of people, lead by a guy called Kuldur. The gibberish that that entity in the building back there is lining up with grumpy mans stories. So if I could somehow put a simple geasa on that race, not to set foot on nerosian soil, would that sort of thing work?"

    "Possible, that race might only have a small presence here."

    'I dinnae trust that they will stay dead.'

    Bandylegs looks around the rest of the room for any exits.

    Ekbard goes over to one of the skeletons and removes a rib bone and puts in in his backpack.

    "There, advance notice, I'll know straight away and tell you if the bone starts moving on its own, okay."

    "I'm no scholar of the afterlife, but....

    ...most likely they simply died and their souls passed to a Hell plane, hence they present as being from one."
