Chapter 4

[klarkash-ton]

OOC: No problem. I was thinking it was a bit 'Tomb of Horrors-esque'. Yikes

Deccon covers himself with his shield and pulls back out of the doorway. "By the gods, this tomb is a damn death-trap!" He pulls a dart clear from his mail and notices the black discolouration on its tip. "Poison" he utters with a grimace.
"Nobody else hit? Good. Brother Loren would would mind sneaking a look and saying a prayer, one of them got through my armour and nicked me."

"We must proceed cautiously in this chamber, but I'm thinking that between the poisoned darts and the wax seal, there must be something worth protecting in here. What do the rest of you think, should we search the sarcophagus?"

[Eris]

Loren will bind wound and say,"We must be careful. There is already much death here."

"If there is undead in here, I will try to turn it away from us with a prayer to Sol the sun god."
OOC: Loren will try to turn/move the sconces on the walls as well, if that wasn't done.

[Wouter]

Yilmaz will examine the sarcophagus for any magical writing or aura. If he finds none, he will request Asil and Bors to open it, warning them to be cautions for traps.

[Eris]

Loren will stand ready to attempt to turn any undead that appear.

[Tamerlaine]

Bind wounds can only be done with a wounded character once a day

Yilmaz sees nothing of interest in this cold chamber and with a nod, Asil and a grumbling Bors wrestle with the heavy lid of the sarcophagus until with the screech of stone against stone, its contents are revealed...

Laying within is the desiccated body of a human male. It is clear the deceased once wore a set of fine clothes which have moldered with time. An old thick leather eyepatch covers the left eye socket. A rotting book rests on his chest, clenched within bony hands.

[Eris]

Does Loren recognize anything about this man, his clothing, the eye patch, or the book?

[klarkash-ton]

Deccon stands with sword raised, ready to bean the skeletal figure should anything untoward happen.

[Tamerlaine]

Does Loren recognize anything about this man, his clothing, the eye patch, or the book?

The cleric does not. There is nothing on the walls but bare, cold stone and the four sconces, not a hint to who this person was.

OOC: Maybe the book will reveal some clue. Anyone feeling game?

[Wouter]

yilmaz is particularly interested in the book and he will carefully try to pry it from the cold, dead hands. If he succeeds, he will thoroughly examine it.
