Just thought I could add to the sources of the death of the
Pharoah...
>From the RQ-Con 2 Compendium:
"GS: Well, nobody exactly knows. <sigh> But, yes. The Pharoah
had a routine ritual that he was used to going through, and the
Lunars loaded it against him. There's one stage where the
Pharoah had to negotiate with the Men in Red to cross the river.
He knows, from all the stories he's done, that he has to give
them each a gold coin from a foreign land. And _this_ time, the
Men in Red are all Lunar agents with their own agenda. And they
say, "This has to be a gold coin from the Realm of Khordavu!"
And suddenly the myth doesn't work for the Pharoah, and the Men
in Red say, "You don't know the end of this story, do you? Well,
we do!" <mimes drawing a sword> And they grabbed the Pharoah,
and cut him up into his Portions, just like the Red Goddess had
been, and hid them scattered throughout the universes."
Unfortunately, from this fragment it seems unclear to me whether
the scene takes place before or during ToMoLaD. "Routine ritual"
could be some minor ritual involving the Phaorah, per see, but
it could also be a description of a minor part of the HeroQuest
when Belintar is in the limbo between two host-bodies. What do
you think, Nick, Stephen or Joerg?
Does this description involve Pharoah, including host-body, or
the "spirit" Belintar?
