Seek out and discover the long lost tomb of King Rutin Tutin at your own peril, for it is protected by an ancient and deadly Egyptian curse.
The misdeeds of King Rutin Tutin are legend among those who study the lore of ancient Egypt. It is a fact known but to a handful of archeologists that Rutin Tutin was extraordinarily small in stature, yet the diminutive despot committed acts of such boldness and cruelty that citizens unlucky enough to toil under his iron rule lived in terror. Upon his death in 3150 B.C., the citizenry went wild with joy and celebrated into the night; but before the morn, a plague of poison oak swept the land, and all who had danced were beset with misery.
King Rutin Tutin was wrapped in royal cloth and laid in his sarcophagus with the finest jewels of his collection. His greatest treasure, an enchanted ammo can stolen from King Hotsy Totsy, the monarch of the neighboring kingdom, was clutched to his chest. A veil of protective curses was then placed over and around the tomb, creating deadly peril for those who might attempt to penetrate its secrets.
Only one man, Professor Peabody Tuttle, ever dared to locate Rutin Tutin's resting place. His widow rues the day the Professor set out on his quest, never to return. WILL YOU?
If you are claustrophobic, arachnophobic, achluophobic or just plain chicken, stay home! The single dollar for the FTF is hardly compensation for the terror you will surely face...or IS it?
Note: An easy walk from the street. To avoid damage to the cache or the hiding area, please do not use a pokey stick or other sharp device. A flashlight will be more useful anyway. Signal scatter is probable but the hint should help. Please stay on footpaths and do not trample vegetation. And if you're unlucky enough to find the king, handle him gently (he's fragile) and please re-hide him well, EXACTLY as you found him. Good luck!
