"You all right, Hanifa?" Menya called out, as she got up gingerly, wincing as her sore muscles ached. The moment of pleasure now past, the abuse of being thrown against columns and stretched by multiple tentacles now made itself fully known. She gathered up her discarded equipment and scraped the worst of the caked cum off her body before putting her clothes back on. "I've got the healinya wand here... and yes, we need a bath as soon as we get back."<br/><br/><div class="spoiler_container"><div class="spoiler_header" onclick="hideSecond (this);" role="button">Healing</div><div class="spoiler_body">Menya took 23 damage, Hanifa took 24 damage from the fight.<br/>8 uses of the wand of CLW to heal both girls completely (40 charges remaining).

Menya read them. "Can you read it too?" she asked Hanifa. "Well, we're here to receive Acherres II's wisdom about his Crown, not to rob his tomb... but what'll a proper offerinya be, I wonder. Anyways, let's purify ourselves first... I hope it's a literal cleansinya and not just symbolic."<br/><br/>Heading into the northern room first, the urns of silver coins were a bit too obvious of a test. She ignored them and headed into the back room where she found a large tub full of sand, which they were apparently supposed to pour on themselves. The catgirl had a sudden urge to use it as a litterbox, which she wisely suppressed. She remembered from bardic lore that this was holy sand, and probably not to be used for mundane purposes.<br/><br/>"I have enough sand in my clothes already!" Hanifa protested.<br/><br/>"Not enough holy sand, you don't," Menya insisted with a catty grin as she scooped up a handful of the fine sand and dumped it over Hanifa's head. Her target retaliated likewise, and soon enough both of them found out the hard way that the sand clung to their sticky bodies. Although, they managed to perform the ritual, at least. Afterwards, Menya felt the touch of divine protection upon both of them.<br/><br/>It was a relief when the southern room led to a bathtub filled with warm, clean water. A quick use of<em>Detect Magic</em>later, and the archaeologist had confirmed that the water was safe and clean to bathe in, and that just as expected the tub was enchanted to do so. They didn't need the hieroglyphic instructions to jump into the water and clean themselves. After being soiled by the tentacle monster, it was very therapeutic to wash themselves clean of its taint.<br/><br/><div class="spoiler_container"><div class="spoiler_header" onclick="hideSecond (this);" role="button">Room 13</div><div class="spoiler_body">Knowledge (planes): 15, fail (https://elliquiy.com/forums/dicebot.php?r=61706)<br/>Knowledge (religion): 9, fail (https://elliquiy.com/forums/dicebot.php?r=61707)<br/></div></div><br/><br/>With both purifying rituals carried out, Menya and Hanifa proceeded into Anubis's chamber. "Anubis," she whispered, her usual irreverent, outgoing self toned down a bit in the presence of the death god. "I wonder if the window is a hint?" She stepped closer to examine the glass window.
