Metaphysical / Paranormal event
Entering into a crystal skull the group finds themselves in another time. They are repeating the same night over and over as they avoid deviations from the past. After multiple resets they meet the four members of the royal family and progress through the night eventually coming to the climax where the Sultan goes missing. A Clans woman takes his throne and the sandstorm outside consumes the venue. They find themselves in a dark room with a man sitting in front of a metal plate, prophecy scrawled on it. They take a rubbing and then a vial of green liquid. Fighting off guardian nagas the party escapes the first marker with clues to begin their hunt for the second marker.
