Deep within the ruins of Geraptiku lies a tomb that has been deserted for eons. No one knows for sure what lurks inside, but rumours have spread across Mystery Island. Most warn of the creatures said to inhabit the ruins. They say that if you value your life, it's best you stay away.
But others tell of a massive treasure left under the protection of the tomb's many traps. If you can get past these traps, Neopoints by the ton and artifacts like you've never seen are said to be scattered throughout the tomb. So far though, those who have entered to seek such a treasure have yet to return.
 
The door, being made of stone and all, begins to slide open slowly. Very slowly. You could be here all day...
It finally comes to a stop about halfway up. Figures. It is a very, very old door after all.
You gaze into the darkness beyond the opening and can barely make out a path leading inside. It quickly disappears, giving you no clue as to what may be in store for you if you enter. Without you realizing, your knees begin to shake and your hands begin to tremble. Riches may be waiting for you just beyond this door, but you have a very, very bad feeling about this place.
If you decide to continue on, at the risk of never returning, there are five possibilities as to what will happen to you deep within the tomb:

You've never seen so many traps in your life. Seriously. Someone must really not want you to be here. You wonder how many traps there really are, and who put them here.
And, while you were thinking that and not paying attention, you set off another one. You watch as the arrows fly right at you, but luckily (Active pet) was paying attention and pushes you out of the way just in time.

But while you're safe, (Active pet) suffers a bit of damage and loses some HP.
Really, you should go before something worse happens.

It's been two days. You don't quite know how, but you've managed to elude many of the traps mysteriously strewn around this tomb. Maybe it's a good thing you're so clumsy.
You happen upon a flight of stairs that leads down into the darkness. It seems to go on forever, but you finally reach the very bottom and enter the dimly lit room you find there.
FIDDLESTICKS!
You yell out in disappointment. This room is the treasure chamber you've been looking for but you discover that someone has gotten to the treasure before you. You could devote the rest of your life to finding this person and writing them a stern letter, but you have to get out of here first.
It takes you three days but you finally make it out alive. |

After being lost in the tomb for two days (living off fungus and rain water of course), you stumble across a room you haven't seen before. Could this be the location of the treasure?
*RAWR* ME HUNGRY!
That's definitely no treasure. A giant monster leaps out from the darkness and begins chasing you, all the while thinking about the best way to cook you for dinner. You should probably continue running.
You suddenly remembr where the exit is and escape back to Gerapitku.

The tomb presents you with quite a challenge over the next few days. Luckily, you've brought plenty of provisions and have cleverly made your way through every trap you've come across. Your mum would be proud.
Finally, after deciphering all the secrets of the tomb, you're led to the treasure chamber.
*picture*
EUREKA!
You've found it. You've found the treasure of the Lost City of Geraptiku. People you've met once will now be writing to you asking to borrow Neopoints. It's every Neopian's dream.
You search through the treasure and take back what you can carry.
(Prize images)
You also stuff (NP amounts) in your pockets!

You've been here for quite a while now. You don't know how many days exactly, but you know you've passed that same carving at least 14 times. Exhausted, you decide to take a break and sit down for a while.
EEP!
What in the world was that? You look down to discover you'd planted yourself right on top of a Petpet. Poor thing. You wonder how it got here.
Wait a tick! What's that under the Petpet? You shoo the little critter away and open the small box that almost escaped your notice.
(Booby tomb prize)
It's no massive treasure, but it's better than nothing. With all you've been through, you decide it's best to quit while you're ahead and you quickly make for an exit.
Miraculously, you elude the remainder of the traps and make it out alive.
