RA!
Auction time!
Auction
, called by
Snakes
. If Nancy doesn't bid, he must. One way or another, it's down to one player left after this auction.
Bidding order will be:
Nancy Drew 39
: BID or PASS?
If you bid, please state which two Monuments you want to discard.
If you pass, Snakes will have to discard two Monuments, so we won't auto-resolve his bid like we normally would.

With Nancy Drew 39 passing,
Snakes
is forced to bid. He has only one Sun Tile left - the 4 - so is forced to bid the 4.
: please choose which two of your Monuments you want to discard. You are out of Sun Tiles, so once you make your choice, you will be out for the rest of the game.

Nancy Drew 39
is the last player left in the Epoch. It is now her turn, and will remain her turn for the rest of the game.
CALL - if you're happy with what's on the Treasure Track, you can call, claim it all, and end the game.
DRAW - you may now draw multiple tiles in a row without waiting, if you want. (You can still draw one at a time if you want.)
If you draw the 8th Ra Tile, that will immediately cancel any queued up draw commands and trigger an auction. You'll have the option to bid or pass as usual - if you bid, you take everything on the Treasure Track and the game ends. If you pass, I will automatically draw one more tile for you; you can still draw more, but it will be one at a time from this point on.
If you draw the 9th Ra Tile, the game ends immediately, and everything on the Treasure Track gets discarded.

(involuntary).
As a reminder: if you draw the 9th Ra Tile, there will be no final auction; the game will end immediately.
Nancy Drew 39
: BID - and claim these tiles to end the game - or PASS - and draw another tile?

Are the points I would get high enough currently to justify my getting stuck with a 4 die?

If you bid on this lot, you'll increase your score by +7 VP. (The Civilization means you don't take the -5 penalty for not having one; the God is +2; the Ziggurat is worthless by itself, as you already have one.)
The {4} would have no impact on your score by itself; your Sun Tiles would total 26 with the {4}, which is still higher than everyone else's.

Alright I’ll do that then.
Bid 9.

And that ends the game.
Nancy Drew 39
bids her 9, claiming the final lot.
She gains:
1x Civilization - Art
1x God
1x Monument - Ziggurat
{4} Sun Tile
She loses:
{9} Sun Tile, which is flung into the void, never to be seen again.
Her final holdings ...
Next up: scoring.
