A thought on this. A few years ago, I attended the RuneQuest Con in
Baltimore. While I was there, Greg participated in an information
auction. If I remember rightly, he answered the question about what
happened to the Pharoah. He said that Jar-Eel and some others laid in
wait for the Pharoah at some point in the Ritual and captured and
spiritually dismembered him. Can anyone verify this? Hint, hint, Greg
or Sandy...
