As far as the brackish water goes Bethany simply clops down into it and if she notices anyone else reluctance to get dirty she will not comment.
Grilnik lifts his beard to keep it away from the water and he steps off of the stairs into the shallow lake that was probably once a normal floor.
As you open the door with the key. Nearly freezing water floods the floor of this long, oval chamber to a depth of one foot. A single stone sarcophagus, its lid carved to resemble a handsome human aristocrat, sits at the western end of the room. Four circular alcoves open into the room at the western end as well, each of which contains a less ornate stone sarcophagus.
Calves freezing, the half-orc looks down in frustration.
"Ffffffuuuuuuuuuu....."
As the cold water seeps into his boots, Grilnik grumbles "Not a tomb built with Dwarven engineering..."
"Time to fight a dead fish?"
With heavy sacrasm, Vors whines, "Gee, I wonder if some type of guardian or undead or water dwarf will come out of the alcoves and attack us if we get too near the main sarcophagus." Sighing, the half-orc asks, "I blew my wad on healing in the last room, how are you doing Grilnik?"
"Just a tiny bit left." replies the waterlogged Dwarf as he approaches the center of the room.
"Shall I do the honors?" Grilnik asks, as he examines the sarcophagi for traps and other shenanigans, trying not to let his beard get wet as he looks.
Brynn lets out a quick shriek as the water surges over her calves. "Eeek! Oh, damn that's cold." Shivering she steps forward a few paces. "Anything?"
Shortly after you enter the room the sarcophagus in the south room creaks open and out steps an undead body. Its body skeletal and eyes glowing.
Both all of you hear it coming and get a drop on it!
Round 1
Grilnik, Vors, Bethany, Brynn <-Nice Inits
Monster
"Oh split ends. You had to jinx it, eh Vors?"
Grilnik readies his Longhammer to strike down the foul abomination.
Bethany moves into the room and also readies an attack.
Brynn heads into the room, catches sight of the enemy, and lets out a curse under her breath. She casts a quick spell, making multiple illusory copies of herself swirl around her.

"I didn't 'jinx' us", grumbled Vors. "I just saw the same room layout in three different ways." The roguish-cleric took out his sap and gave it a couple practice swings.
The creature runs straight at Bethany, but with Bethany's ready action and Grilnik's swing it goes down after 2 hits.
Bthany doesn't do much with the eighteen seconds she has. She moves into the room a bit more and keeps her hammer at the ready.
Brynn waits with an arrow nocked, ready to shoot if anything else jumps out at them.
After the abomination returns to the dust from whence it came, Grilnik relaxes a bit.
"Of course not, Vors. I was just mining near your vein. There's no need to explain a bad feeling about a bad place."
Grilnik looks around and slowly raises his hammer again.
"... there are three more rooms with coffins in them.
Vors, why don't you take over checking out this one. We'll cover you."
As Grilnik's eyes dart between the other rooms, he very slowly lowers his hammer again.
This time the 3 remaining coffins open up and creatures crawl out.

Brynn's first arrow misses the creature, but her second one strikes true.
One of the creatures runs at Brynn and attacks.
Brynn starts to feel drained.
The creature in the southwest corner runs at Bethany. She is ready with a strike, but misses as it approaches.

He swings his longhammer in a large arc over the central sarcophagus.
The slowest of the creature runs forward (triggering an attack from Vors)
But Vors misses as it runs by
The creature turns to Vors, but seemingly is focused on Brynn with it's friend. It runs past Vors and Brynn into a flanking position with her.

Not really thinking these creatures are a threat Sami smiles but does not giggle as her hammer comes around at the closest.
"At least its not a rug, right. Right!?"
Finding herself surrounded Brynn takes a careful step back and to the side, pulls out her rapier and thrusts it at the undead she's flanking with Vors.
But she's about as accurate with a blade as she expected...
One of the creatures takes a solid hit from Bethany, but does not quite go down.
M4 takes a step forward, seemingly defending the main sarcophagus. Attacks Grilnik, but misses.
The creature attacking Bethany continues its strikes. But the combatants are too powerful.

"By the might of Kurgess, return to dust!"
Holy purifying light pours out of the platinum and gold holy symbol.
With a flash a light out of the holy symbol the creatures recoil in pain.
The creature in front of Brynn continues its attack. But misses
You start to hear whispers and moans coming from the sarcophagus in the center of the room. Just a low rumble.

Brynn continues her assault on the creature she's flanking with Vors.
Hearing the whispers from the sarcophagus in the center of the room Bethany lets her innate anger slip from her control. The grin starts on her faces and turns to a small giggle as her hammer again flies at the creature in front of her.
Witnessing the beautiful setup Brynn positioned herself into, Vors smiles as we drops the sap and draws Flame Tongue in hoope of felling the undead between the rogue and the magus.
Brynn stabs forward and injures the creature in front of her. Bethany crashes down crushing the undead best that was focused on her.
The creature closest to Grilnik takes a step to the side. Looking to instinctively get into a flanking position. It strikes out to Grilnik but still just scratches the armor of its foe.

Bethany and Vors Destroy the remaining creatures within a few seconds of eachother. The sounds of battle die down for a second, but you can all hear a moaning and whipsers.
