The Sphinx leers at Hain, hissing.
"Well done, Fingerling. Are you all prepared for the second one?"

((The answer was. However I tried to alter it slightly.))

The Sphinx snarls at him, shaking her head.
"How presumptous. Nonetheless, I will proceed.

I shall ask you three riddles, that all must answer. Succeed, and you shall proceed. Fail...."
The Sphinx licks her lips.
"Are you prepared for your first riddle?"

Horus shakes his head. The Sphinx lowers her head further.
"I said, who be this who enters the hoard? Horus I know, and I see you bring the Betrayer with you.

But who are these mortals?"

Ra gets free grandfather clause by dint of having made these millennia before they were used in media.

Set shakes his head. Horus looks over to a small door, looking into it.
"In there. The Sphinx is in there. We don't know what it'll ask you, but be ready for whatever it says."

"Slightly disappointing. But I'm still interested."

"...do his loins or his mind govern his thoughts?"

"My Eye. I'll need it to find Ra, most likely. Isis, too."

Kyle barely pulls himself back up. Horus helps him out, while Set looks forwards.

"One more obstacle. The Sphinx. Don't bother trying to kill it; chances are it'll kill us, and even us gods don't want to fight it, simply because it's such a pain in the ass to kill. Regenerates quickly, resistant to magic, the bastard barely even gets dented from my weapons.

You."
He points to Yuri.
"You've got a keen head. Use it. We'll need it."
They walk onward. Horus looks at Yuri.
"It depends on the Pantheon."
