The Bright Shining Pyramid

"Yes, but it's nothing we can't handle," Fred said confidently.

They trudged up the slope for another half hour, talking a bit, but mostly searching silently for some clue as to where they were. Finally, they reached the top.

What they saw there left them speechless.

In the distance, standing out against the clear mid-day sky, was a pyramid that seemed to shine as if made out of burnished gold. It was difficult to accuratelty gauge its size, but if it was as distant as it appeared to be, it would have been huge.

"I guess now we know what the triangle on the sign meant," Astra said in amazement.

"So it seems," Fred acknowledged. "It appears quite impresive, doesn't it?"

"And imposing," Astra said. "Do you think we should head towards it?"

1. They head directly towards the pyramid.
2. They decide to approach it obliquely - heading that way, but not on the path.
3. They turn around and head back towards the symbol of the star surrounded by the dots.
4. Before they can decide, a figure on horseback approaches.
5. Then, from behind them, they hear the faint but unmistakable roar of a carnage beast!
