The room to the east has pillars line the walls of this rectangular chamber, interspersed with stone jackal heads extending from the walls. A stone altar, covered in a layer of dust, sits at the eastern end of the room. To the west, a set of stone double doors stands slightly ajar.
This may be the embalming room, where Akhentepi was mummified before the tomb was sealed.
Please tell me where you are (by coordinates) when you explore the tomb.
The room itself is covered in carvings and statues of the jackal headed human you saw earlier.
You also see dusty funereal masks covering the walls - perhaps they're as valuable as the ones to the north?
Angel Eyes will be right behind Dwalindor, sword in hand. Aye.
Rameth comes in behind Albus
Azubah follows Rameth into the chamber.
As you begin to enter the room, you hear chittering from behind the altar, and then two giant spiders come skittering out from behind altar.
Combat Order: Sumak, Dwalindor, Rameth, Albus, Enemies, Azubah
Rameth moves up to M7 and stabs his dagger for an eye,
for
to confirm for
Rameth's thrust manages to pierce the spiders head and its ten legs scrabble at the floor briefly as it squeals and then grows still.
Rameth lets the dagger remain in the beast and pops another one out of his sleeve, via his wrist sheathe.
Angel Eyes advances and attacks the other spider.
The vermin manages to sitter away from Albus's sword swipe, venom dripping from its mandibles.
Dwalindor's swing smashes into the floor, but the bug avoids his axe.
The spider in front of Dwalindor and Albus hisses and attacks Albus trying to gather him into mouth.
The spider drives its jaws deep into Albus, predatory instinct shining in its six eyes.
Rameth moves around to O8 then he attacks with his second sharpened dagger
for
Azubah recovers from the surprise and rushes to aid his companions. As dust kicks up from the floor and whirls about him like a sand-devil*.
Once he is in range he swings his morning star wildly but ineffectively.
Attack
Rameth's dagger bites home, and the spider releases its grip on Albus.
Rameth leaves the blade in the beasts abdomen and pops another put of his other wrist
is that all?
"Do you want more of them?"
"Who is injured? I can help with wounds that are not dire."
Ouch!
Yea, I could use some patch up. Thx. Albus uses his arcane sight to scan the room.
Albus, you don't detect any magical after-effects or auras in this room.
The doors from the previous room heading west are the start of the only unexplored space going forward.
"May the grace of Aroden restore you and guide you with his spirit" Azubah intones as he places his hand over Albus's wound.
Healing
He then repeats his prayer and ritual for Sumak
Healing
Oh, yea search the crap out of the room!
percep
Underneath webbing behind the altar you find a clay urn, sealed with wax.
"A moment please, Rameth." Azubah reaches out toward the urn with his wrist back and his fingers splayed and stops just short of touching it. His eyes narrow and his brow furrows as he concentrates.
No magical aura is detected from the urn, or its contents.
Albus keeps pacing around changing his weight from one foot to the other while nervously looking at the urn. Well, is it worth something?
Your Halfling companion is able to open the jar and smells a fragrant perfume.
alchemy
The substance in the jar is nard, a particularly pungent perfume that apparently attracted the spiders. The amount of perfume is worth 75 gp.
no it isn't. Sumak take all of this that we have gathered so far and put it with the Chariot and we will meet you back there.
"It seems unlikely that they would go to the effort of building a tomb this significant just to stock it with the items that we have found so far. Surely, there is more to this place in the other chambers. The gold and other treasures are of far less interest to me than historical artifacts of the Pharasmin's actions."
There are doors that lead further west from the previous room - you remember the tracks that lead from the doors to the west into this embalming chamber.
Rameth checks the doors for traps
then disables any
You don't find any traps - please let me know what order you're passing through the doors.
Rameth will enter behind the big burly dwarf, with sharpened dagger and his club. Note that he switched one of his sharpened daggers to his wrist sheathe.
Rameth opens the doors easily and sees a flight of steps gradually descends to the west down this passage. Halfway down the stairs, small holes and burrowed tunnels riddle what remains of the passage’s southern wall.
Earth and sand have spilled over the collapsed masonry,
covering the stairs with dirt and rubble. Stone doors engraved with a golden scarab, its wings open beneath a golden sun, stand at either end of the stairs. One of the eastern doors is slightly ajar.
However, as you descend the stairs you see a swirls of sand and earth rear up as you enter.
Init?
