On a brutal journey through the desert, traveling companions Lakshi, Boice, and Tieh are desperately in search of a place to replenish their water supply. When they come across a city, they think their problems are solved, only to quickly realize that they have stumbled into Azec Sistra, the city of the dead. The opulent tomb is rich with treasures, and the corpses are carefully preserved to look like they are still alive. Though Tieh warns his companions that disturbing the city may have dire spiritual consequences, the rumors of treasure have attracted grave robbers with no such scruples. In time, it becomes clear that it will take all of their efforts combined to escape with their lives. [Written by MAL Rewrite]
