Noonan uses Detect Magic on the mummy.
The mummy itself - and most of its jewelry - is non magical however you do detect a trace of alteration magic off of a pendant he's wearing.
”Oh my, look at the jewelry.”
Tariq looks at the mummy’s trappings and calculates the value.
The pendant is magical. Does not look to be undead.
The mummy is not undead I mean. The pendant it is wearing is magical.
Well we have to stop faffing about. Noonan takes the pendant.
Messing around. Wasting time.
”So this guy is dead dead and went straight past mostly dead so he is not undead you have to make redead.”
”Good to know.”
”But is the amulet cursed?! This room is too easy. Or is it a trigger for a Sandnami? This place makes me suspicious.”
Noonan examines the amulet closely to find out what it is.
There's five other doors to examine in the chamber you were in or you can turn back to find another branch.
Get checken, Tariq!
”Alright. Next door then.”
Lemme show you how to do it
Not trusting Tariq's eyesite, Noonan takes the time to examine the door himself. After Tariq declares it totally untrapped Noonan points with a stunted figure to a terrible glyph - shapped in the abstract form of a demon praying on a cowering figure a greater glyph of warding hovers next to the stone animated by magical energy through the millenia.
Young whippersnappers these days have no patience.
”Hummm, well. I can remove it with tools.”
”Or is it something you would rather dispel?”
Noonan prays for a Greater Dispel Magic for his empty spell slot
And casts it on the ward.
Hmm..Very powerful ward.
The shimmering ward does indeed stay up.
Nope. If Tariq wants to give it a try, we best step outside.
You return back to the central hub to the south, you have three ways to go - south, southeast, southwest.
”This is just like the last one. I just chisel this guys beard thing off, like that. Now I turn this septer thing into like, I don’t know, um, a cricket bat. Take some of this caulking out. Knock a chunk out of this glyphic. Aaaaaand!”
No screaming, so he must have got it right
The door Tariq fiddles with opens, showing another room covered with murals.
Inside a powerful magic user stands reading ancient scrolls, studying strange magical devices and casting potent spells on Shory enemies.
His sarcophagus sits in the middle of his tomb as well, and when you push it off you find a diadem sitting on the brow of the mummy within in a place of prominence.
Noonan casts Detect Magic!
The diadem radiates magic like the pendant.
Noonan pockets it for later. Well, will we search the rest of these rooms or try somewhere else?
Noonan heads SW
”What does the magic pendant do?”
A massive door sits here, leading into a room but unlike the others this door is untrapped.
A dizzying pattern of indecipherable runes and glowing carvings adorns the walls of this oddly shaped chamber. Interspersed among these runes are human-sized carvings of men and women with animal heads in bas-relief. The angles of this room’s walls, including those where the ceiling rises and falls, are all strange and dizzying—only the floor remains a single flat plane.
As you enter you hear grinding of stone on stone as three statues begin to start moving.
Noonan casts Blessing of Fervor as soon as he can.
Tariq casts Lead Blades
Noonan casts Blessing of Fubar!
