Enemies on the Horizon-Episode 3: Temple of Set

Toward the afternoon or evening of the second day the heroes spot a bluff on the horizon. A small and as-yet uncharted rocky plateau rises at the edge of the Great Sand Sea. The automobile tracks and the course indicated by Doyle’s journal point directly to a point on the plateau where the heroes can clearly identify the remains of two colossal statues once carved into the cliff walls marking the entrance to a lost temple to the chaos god Set. The bulk of the statues sit as crumbled debris in the sand, leaving two haunting stone silhouettes on the cliff face to guard the dark temple gateway. The tire tracks mysteriously disappear about 300 feet away from the temple entrance, apparently erased by an expert hand.

Only with a Hard Track roll can a character determine where the trail once led; around a nearby boulder where the car now sits beneath a well-placed camouflage net. Unless they explore the cliff face further, however, the heroes won’t discover another fallen rock and more netting concealing a secret cave the Nazi’s use as a garage for their car and a small biplane.
