Structure
Exposition
The Group has been tasked by El Hermano, head of the Temple of Mari's Light to find an ancient relic of the temple that was taken long ago by desert raiders.
Conflict
Along the way the group is attacked by some bandits who once beaten direct the group to a town where they may find information on the location of the relic they are looking for.
Rising Action
The Group reaches a town which has been ravaged by raiders led by a necromancer known as Yarageth. The group is further informed of the powers of the ancient relic and why the raiders took it from its place in Ibergul and that the necromancer is also looking for the relic.
A spy left by the Necromancer attacks and after being defeated can be looted for a map to the location of an ancient tomb where the raiders are camped out.

The group find the encampment and find it surounded by warriors in red cloaks with weapons of steel, they must figure out a way to get through the camp through any means they can. If they go in loud the necromancer gloats to them before running into the crypt as his soldiers attack the group.
Falling Action
After the group fight their way through the encampment to the crypts basement, once there they are confronted by the necromancer who has raised a mummy to help fight the group. Before fighting the group the necromancer tries to reason with them that his organisation seeks what is best for the world and will end the conflicts plauging the continent.
Resolution
If the group choose the option of siding with necromancer and working for his group "The Crimson Magi".
If this is not chosen the group may choose to take the relic which will trigger a more powerful mummy to emerge from the golden sarcophagus and scream at the group. If they fight the mummy and win it is revealed that the Relic was a gift given to a prince of such purity that Mari wanted to preserve it forever.
