    Therai asks Retulia "Can I have a look at the map and could you point out where we are?"

    OOC: We're at 48.58 in case anyone else forgot

    Vrakrash gestures to his large gem

    'Eh, good plan, just one slight problem - I ain't lugging this massive thing around the entire desert dude. I'll be using my wish to go somewhere and cash it in.'

    "Is it the weight or the value that you're concerned about? Because if it's the weight..." he trails off as he points at the horses.

    OOC: I assume the horses are still around. Are the city watchmen still following us too?

    "on them....or in them!"
    Retula starts flicking through the scrolls and Tome she recovered from the pandelumian tower, looking for something that will explain how to turn a camels hump into a fliptop storage bin. But it's mostly complicated symbols and meatflowers.

    'The value, little dude. I ain't leaving this thing hanging around....'

    He pauses.

    'Hang on a second... I've got it! I could ask him to have a store appear right here, in front of us. Problem solved!'

    He struts around thinking he's solved some sort of complex maths equation.

    "Literal, make sure that store has lots of gold on hand, to insure you get paid for your jewel."
    "Also, when you have exchanged your jewel for gold, we then have all that gold to lug around."
    "So what is the benefit of exchangeing one big ass gem for shit tons off gold?"
    "You still have all that wealth hanging about."

    "But if you sell it you'll still be lugging around the same value of coin, won't you?"

    Therai thinks for a moment

    "How about if you wish for some sort of contraption, a bag maybe, where you put in something valuable and a fair amount of coin can be taken out in its place"

    Upon packing away his newfound items Therai realises his beloved pet mouse, Twitchy, has drowned. How could he be so forgetful? His longest friend dead from his thoughtlessness.
    Mags looks hopefully at Therai. "You gonna eat that?". While he's asking Mags also casts 'Healing Word' on Therai in hopes of curing his unsightly hives/boils/blisters

    Therai notices that there are storm clouds on the horizon, luckily they won't reach the party until the night. Right now it is late afternoon.

    Retula closes her eyes and holds her open palm over her forehead in a weird cyclopean display.
    "Eye believe you have a point. Although I can't think of like one decent, good natured alive type that lives in a pyramid...? But hey ho! Let's go!"

    Target 49.57, 50.58
    Not sure we can do that in one day given the time but we have Rhiggy's eyes and i have devil sight now so night is as day to us

    By the time night rolls around, the pyramid is just barely visible in the distance. The storm clouds seem to be a good bit away yet.

    "hey look! The place I said I'd get us to! I did it!
    So like, shall we push on? I mean what's the worst that can happen? Giant spider attack? Brown or blue dragons? The momma of that T-Rex you butchered has been stealthily stalking us? Quicksand? Evil hags? Mummies? Actually you know what, there's plenty can go wrong, maybe we should like just wait heeere...?"

    OOC: Note no need to roll again, you charted the way correctly last time and the pyramid is now visible. This is still Day 6, so the last navigation roll would represent changing course during the day. It's now night and you'd still be in (though on the outer edge) of 48.58

    As they push toward the pyramid by night, the horses begin to tire, as do they. An hour or two after midnight they have escaped the path of the storm.

    Retula and Rhiggy soon spot a very well maintained road cut through the desert. In fact of the highest craftsmanship, a dwarven road.

    It leads to the pyramid.

    Sarric has a 30 minute rest, afterwhich he'll attempt to follow after/track Retula & Rhiggy.

    "what the blood rift were dwarves doing building a road above ground? I don't like this. They might be..... Civilised!"
    Hetyaro lands on her shoulder, clearly irritated about being kept up past his bed time.
    "Shhhh! I thought you didn't sleep, you feathery ****wit?" She whispers.

    Perception on! Devil's sight on! Hair on! No wait, not that last one.
    Proceed parallel to the road watching for threats
