INVE$TMENT$ V

Hang at the back, flashlight trained on the area in front of me.

Pyramid A

You follow the group inside, but discover an issue in your plan once you get inside as the group begins splitting up. There's two small paths on your left and right going up and a large tunnel going straight that leads down to a large opening in the pyramid. Most of the workers take the straight path with one going to the left and another going to the right. You'll need to pick a path and someone to follow.

Head down the center path, following the wisest-looking one.

[Cheery Dog]

Follow the person that went on the right path

Expedition to Egypt

You all show up at the airport and get on a plane that takes you on a 10+ hour trip to Cairo. You land at about 6 PM and meet up with

PURPLE

's representative. Considering that the pyramid is a pretty far drive west, you get a hotel and spend the night. Then you meet up with the representative in the morning who drives you to the excavation site without any problems! Arriving at the site, you notice there is actually three pyramids. You also notice

PURPLE

has set up an encampment away from the pyramids which is where you'll be staying. It's about a thirty minute walk from the nearest pyramid, your tour guide blames this on the local workers having superstitious beliefs that bad things will happen if you are too close to the pyramid at night. Considering it's about four in the afternoon when you show up, the few people left at the encampment are not eager to explore as it will be getting dark soon, and so you elect to eat and just wait until the morning to explore.

You get up bright and early in the morning and are faced with your first choice. Which pyramid do you explore?
A. You can get a ride to pyramid on the left where they've already gotten in and begun exploration.
B. You can get a ride to the pyramid in the center where they've begun working on getting access to.
C. You can walk the pyramid to the right where nobody has done anything and it will probably be difficult to get inside.

B.

My raffle is probably more reliable than stocks. Low risk & low reward.

You have realised what stocks there are right
And it's pretty obviously only reliable for you - like I said before, you'd want to make it more complex if you want people to participate

Dare Maruchan to go in while the workers are working on it. I'll pay him $20

Pyramid B

You dare Maruchan to gain entrance. As you are doing so, the workers finish granting you access to the pyramid.

Create cheerleading squad for the workers. Offer to actually help if anything is required.

Pyramid B

You start cheerleading for the workers. As you are doing so, the workers finish granting you access to the pyramid.

Head down the center path, following the wisest-looking one.

Pyramid A

You head down the center back which opens into a very large cavern. You're currently about 10 feet above the ground floor, there's rocky staircase right in front of you leading down to the ground floor. The walls are slanting in and go up all the way to about 20 feet above you. The area appears to have been mostly looted already with little to no valuables left. The workers you followed are currently inspecting a large wooden boat and an old stone statue.

Follow the person that went on the right path

Pyramid A

You head up the right pathway following the other worker. The path heads up and on a curve to the left. It is very small and gets to the point that you have to crawl to keep going. Finally it opens up into a small chamber. In the center of the small chamber is a coffin. The rest of the area seems to be empty barring a couple urns that the worker you followed is picking up and preparing to hall back down.

How do I go in? They haven't yet made a wall. Accept dare? Fail to gain access due to no entrance?

Pyramid B

You accept the bet and head towards the Pyramid. As you are doing so, the workers finish granting you access (so do you get paid or not? hmmm). You walk into the area and notice a small path leading up on either side and a large opening the leads to the center of the pyramid.

B.

Transition

You catch a ride with one of the stragglers over to Pyramid B just in time! The workers have finished cutting an opening into the side of the Pyramid and have opened it for exploration.

I'm not feeling this Pyramid C, unless I can develop Drill Breaker powers, trek over to Pyramid B.

Transition

You abandon Pyramid C and walk over to Pyramid B just in time! The workers have finished cutting an opening into the side of the Pyramid and have opened it for exploration.

[Shadoweh]

Ask the workers if there's any rope before entering the pyramid. Also try to locate a 10 foot pole.

[mallowgeno]

Climb the pyramid

[Ircher]

So slow....

Buy 5 Red for $15 (5 * $3).

Leaves $38.

[Cheery Dog]

Open up the coffin

[Mewtaph]

Pull over and talk with the worker that looks the most poorly paid and ask them for directions, or any items that they may have that could help me in the pyramid (pocket knife, camera, gloves, rope, and so on). Follow their instructions if they give any to me. Be willing to give up to $5 as a bribe if they desire one. If unsuccessful, go and enter the pyramid with the others.

[JerryArr]

I ask someone who's not working at the moment about the pyramid I'm in.

[Save The Dragons]

I start kicking at the bricks and try to get in

[Maruchan]

take ze center path of pyramid.

also I best get my $20, I accepted the dare, and am now a cycle ahead of my fellow Pyramid B'ers, by being inside the pyramid while they are all still outside.
