"The Pyramid of Cheops"

 

Comment: I think that the intro, printed above in its entirety, does a pretty good job of summing up this Eamon: simple.

There's not a lot to see and do here, even though there are 71 rooms to explore. This is primarily a "mapper's dungeon", as there are a couple of unmarked secret passages that can only be found by trying every direction.

This is a really easy foray. The mapping is straightforward and the bad guys are tuned for Marcos' standard weapons. Difficulty of (3). Probably a good pick for the Young Eamonaut. My overall rating is for that target group. Advanced campaigners will likely be bored.

One very minor hint: don't ignore the signs.
