I ran across this jam over the weekend. It looks fun and won’t require too much effort. I’ve joined, maybe you will too? If you do, let me know what you submit and feel free to toss ideas or work or whatever into here. I will as well!

## The Tomb Robber

Here’s [my entry, or at least the first draft of it](https://hexedpress.itch.io/tomb-robber). I might add a map and pretty it up later but, for now, it’s just in plain text.

> **Mundar the Custodian** had just unlocked the last of the mausoleums for the annual ritual of veneration when an anguished cry rent the evening air. Collapsed in the open entrance to the tomb of the hero, **Alfgar Spearlord** , is the boy, **Godwin**. A _flame-bladed dagger_ protrudes from his back, a gash across his chest. Before he dies, Godwin mentions three things: _Alfgar’s **spear** _ , a **Stranger** , and, **Bertric** , his brother. Mundar entreats you: enter the tomb, stop the stranger, and rescue _Bertric_ .
