So ... I need to flesh out an NPC.
A cleric of Sun God Ra was a member of a sect in decline. Power of their god was usurped by another and sect disappeared into hiding. It was prophecised that Sun God Ra will rise again and some members of the sect decided to entomb themselves in a hidden temple deep within the Desert to await the return of their god to power.
NPC is a cleric of this god (male human, about 60 years of age) in this temple and he is awakened by a group of strange strangers. He notices that temple is in complete darkness (an omnious sign), as well that strangers do not speak Common language. They do however understand some weird version of Draconic. It seems they have intended to loot the temple(which is indeed in a sorry state). They explain they have encountered many undead in the temple and as cleric explores this statement, he confirms it. Most of his religious brothers have turned undead. The temple seems to have sunk deep into the ground and the terrain has turned from desert to grassland. Also is completelly different. It's unclear how long these holy men have slept.
As he prays to Sun God Ra, he gets a response. His god is still alive and kicking (granting powers), but explains little on where and when the cleric is.
How should he react?
thanks
