With the stealth of a greater god, Set, jackal-headed God of evil, darkness, murder, and the night, steals from Duat to Earth, and like an unseen wind, stows a magical dagger with wavy kris-style blade in Kiyu's pack, a mystery to perplex, or maybe frighten, or maybe embolden the witch....
Dagger of the Nile: +1 returning dagger of venom that can be used by the wielder to inflict a wound on herself, dealing 1d8 damage, and the blood that spills out from the wound is equal to one dose of waters of Set. Up to 3 doses can be spilt per day.
COWARD!!!
Set hisses and turns his back on Anubis.
Fine, thou old fool! Fade away into oblivion, destined to be forgotten by men and gods alike.... I shall not go quietly into that good night....
Set vanishes in a cloud of noxious smoke and green flames!

It was a cheap trick, Anubis! Becoming one of these puny mortals so they could relate more to him, and he to them.... And then letting them sacrifice him to himself.... 'Tis....cheap sensationalism, I tell you! Maudlin, heartstring-plucking, emotion-manipulating sensationalism! And it worked.... We must take back what is rightfully ours before it be too late, brother! Can you not see what shall happen if Ein Sof, or Yahweh, or Allah, or whatever he calls himself these days gets his way!? His Armaggedon is nigh! If all goes as his prophets have predicted, the entire Prime Material Plane will become part of his Heaven! It shall then be too late to act. Never again shall Set and Anubis have their rightful worship and fear from mortals, when his "Kingdom of Heaven" extends to annex the Material Plane! We must do as the others have begun to do.... If we are forbidden to act directly, our mortal pawns are under no such restriction.... Soon, I shall choose a fitting pawn of mine own to cast upon the Board.... I suggest you do the same, brother.... Our combined efforts can achieve far more than I can hope to accomplish alone....
And now many go to the Heaven of the Jew god and his demigod son, while even more go to the Nine Hells of the upstart fallen seraph they have elevated to near godhood.... This thief has stolen most of my rightful worship, and much of yours, as well.... Even my beloved serpents are now associated more with this insane Lucifer, and now he has even appropriated my title as the Satan.... No more do mortals fear the evils of Set, or the judgement of Anubis, my brother.... Now they fear the evils of Lucifer, THE Devil, as if he were the first and only such fiend! Now mortals fear the judgments only of the Jew god and his narcissistic, masochistic, demigod incarnation of himself, this Christ-god, who allowed a mob of filthy Jews and Romans to torture him to death....to....appease himself!?? Who does that!?
And in the days before the rise of the Jew god's Christ cult.... How many hearts did you weigh in those days so long gone, my brother? Were they not as numerous as the stars in the night sky?
In the Land of the Dead, Set, jackal-headed god of evil, stands before Anubis, god of the underworld and judge of the dead, who sits enthroned before the mighty scale on which he weighed the hearts of the recently departed against a feather....
In Infernal: I come to offer thee one last chance to throw in thy lot with mine, old friend.... This upstart is a threat to us both.... How many mortal hearts hast thine scale weighed this day? Or yesterday? Three? Four?
