Following the clues found in the Vault of Hidden Wisdom, the Destined Delivered likely realize that their best lead to find Hakotep’s tomb likely lies in the tomb of his architect, Chisisek, which lies somewhere west of Tephu in the Parched Dunes, one of the least hospitable regions of the great Osirian Desert. To find Chisisek’s tomb, you must explore the southern reaches of the Parched Dunes, which primarily consist of rocky desert and sand flats, but also incorporate badlands, hills, and sand dunes.
The adventure assumes that the PCs take the easiest route from Tephu to the Parched Dunes, up the Crook River, a journey of approximately 120 miles. A riverboat can make the trip in 12 days, for a cost of 12 gp per passenger. The PCs can easily purchase all of the supplies they might need for a journey into the desert, including food, water, and even camels, before leaving Tephu.

You explore a region and then head south back along the creek, but end up running out of daylight.
