The necrophidius moves to strike at Rameth, it's mandibles snapping.
It fails to trap the wily human in it's jaws however.
Rameth swings again
for
To aid dwalindor
See! Told you.
Rameth's in the midst of mocking Dwalindor when the hammer whips through the monster's skull and crushes it into powder.
Rameth's blow swings on a target that falls limp, causing him to spin around as his attack meets no resistance from the air that was previously filled with the necrophidius.
[ooc]You're out of combat again.
Rameth immediately goes into his bag and pulls out three pieces of jerky.
Well done boy. You earned this. He gives a piece to each head.
Alright lets see what we can see!

You don't find any treasure, but you do detect the faint traces of an inscription on the door.
Additionally the statue at the north end of the room is odd. You see subtle indentations around the figure's ears and chin, as if something was supposed to be placed over the figure's head or on its face. Additionally there's a fine layer of dust coating the statue's body but the head is free of dust.
As you're searching through the rooms you suddenly hear a burst of bright, cherry music and feel a cool breeze waft through the room. When you look in your packs you see a small vial with a red and green bow tied around the neck. The liquid inside smells of peppermint and cinnamon.
Rematch searches his pack and is surprised to also find a small box, wrapped brightly, inside there is a treat for Trip, he gives it to him and watches Trip play with his new toy.

Rameth, you're able to determine the inscription on the inside of the door, not the heiroglyphs you took a rubbing of, are the remains of a glyph of warding that has discharged.
Rematch heads through the door, that was recently discharged.
oh., do we have an updated map? In any event we would go through the other door that we didn't open up/go through.
Two columns carved to resemble men with their arms crossed over their chests, holding a khopesh in one hand and an ankh in the other, support the ceiling of this long chamber. Deep alcoves in the walls form burial chambers, some of which are sealed with stone doors. Other sepulchers just have sarcophagi tucked inside, while a few appear empty.

dwalindor I think we made the right choice hiring you.
Dwalindor's exploration of the tomb discovers the stone doors to what you presume to be alcoves are sealed - you can tell the best efforts were made to make sure the stone doors there remain sealed. Well, the best efforts of humans. You're pretty confident you could break open those sealed doors without much effort.
You look into one alcove in particular and discover another false wall, but as you open it and see a small chest, you hear the groan that you've become all too familiar with - the groan of the undead.
A corpse comes shambling out of an alcove to the southwest.
Slowly it stumbles towards you.
Rameth, you realize the sparseness of this burial chamber is actually a reflection of the Nethysian belief system. Unlike most Osiriani, the faithful of Nethys never believed you had to bring goods with you into the afterlife.
Zombie or other?
Cool, we fought zombies before
Slash it!
Rameth charges for Rameth whips out his dagger as he charges
Rameth and Dwalindor's weapons slash out - Rameth's dagger manages to drag in but Dwalindor's swing misses the monster.
Weirdly Rameth's dagger seems to catch on the skin, but it eventually yields to the attack.

Just bash it! Slashing didn't seem to work
Rameth, you've heard, vaguely, of a monster called a coffer corpse. They appear to be zombies, but they're much more dangerous - the have a habit of trying to strangle their victims to death.
This place sucks!. Dead guys trying to strangle us!
poetry...
Calin and Tobbs followed Rameth and Dwalindor into the room. Upon seeing the corpse Tobbs charges at Calin yells, "Kill!"
Calin steps into a square trying for a clear shot.
Tobbs' jaws clamp on to the corpse and start to tear, but they resist the terrible damage well.
Calin's arrow hits the corpse but skitters across it and collapses.
The corpse does collapse after Tobbs' attack however.
Rematch immediately does a CDG on the thing to make sure it is dead
Calin looks around the room for other threats while Tobbs attempts to get the awful taste of undead from his mouth.

Calin, you discover the same secret door as Dwalindor that has a chest concealed in the wall. You don't believe the chest is trapped.
Sarcophagi
When you push one of the stone slabs off the top of one of the sarcophagi you find a mummy still interred. Aside from the sundry grave goods, a wooden holy symbol and the jars that presumably contain their organs you find a golden funerary mask.
The mask is worth 100 gp.

"Oh yes, of course. Aroden mends the wounds of the brave."
Sorry for my absence. Holiday festivities took a lot of my time.
The chest is unlocked and within you find a pair of gloves, three potions in simple glass vials, a sack containing platinum coins and several red stones.
The chest contains a pair of apprentice’s cheating gloves, a potion of bull’s strength, two potions of cure moderate wounds, 330 gp in platinum, and the rubies are each worth 25 gp each.
"It looks like all we have left to check here are behind the slabs. I've got a bad feeling about what we might find behind them though."
