Take our time here, looks like there is some value in this room, so there is bound to be more traps.
take 10 on the squares to enter the room, then take 20 on the various items in the room.
I will start checking out the chariot, the rest of you take your time and examine everything else. DONT TOUCH ANYTHING
Sumak will take his time methodically searching the room for traps, hidden doors, etc.
That chariot might come in handy to pile stuff into and roll around, heck I bet you strong gents could even push me in it, Sumak says with a big grin and a laugh.
You don't see any traps on the floor entering the chariot room, so it appears safe to enter the room and examine the objects within.
The chariot itself is a light chariot, expertly painted and apparently reassembled in the chamber since it's too large to leave through the entry shaft.
Sumak makes his way over to the chest and checks it for traps.
[ooc] Does anybody have Appraisal? [/dice]
Rameth appraises the chariot as best he can looking for gems or the like that might be valuable.
The chariot needs the touch of an expert carpenter or a perhaps a charioteer, but it should fetch 100gp as an art object - perhaps half again as much if restored.
Sumak, as you disable the trap you barely move your fingers out of the way as the blade comes flashing towards you as you hear the lock disengage.
Within the chest you see your first hint of the legend you'll build. Three vials of gold-chased cobalt glass sit cushonied in a rotting wooden frame and you see two books of thin, beaten gold pages inscribed with hieroglyphics on them.
If you try to lift the books you find they're quite heavy, 25 pounds a piece.
it will be worth it to take this thing out of here. Rameth announces.
let me see what you got there Sumak.. Rameth examines the vials
alchemy
As Sumak is handing over the vials, Almost lost a finger to that one, pesky traps. Can you believe it, we are actually exploring an ancient tomb. I mean I AM LIKE INDIANA, before he can finish the others shush him as he is getting loud, baggins, sorry got carried away, whispers Sumak before he busies himself with looking around the room.
From the way the concoctions move and smell,they appear to be two potions of cure light wounds and a potion of darkvision.
you would think we had never entered a tomb before Mak?
The stone work here seems solid. Pretty good workmanship for non-dwarven builders as well.
Oh of course, I have been in multiple tombs in my life, Sumak is clearly lying but trying to cover it up so he hurries himself to thoroughly recheck an area that he already checked before.
Angel Eyes searches the room with his arcane sight.
Yea, this one is shaping up nicely.
Albus, the only thing that hasn't been explored in this area is the collection of animal skins left in the tomb.
Unfortunately they're ordinary and badly decayed from their time in the tomb - likely personal hunting trophies that meant something to Akhentepi but wouldn't catch the eye of an enterprising merchant or wealthy collector.
Three vials of gold-chased cobalt glass sit cushonied in a rotting wooden frame and you see two books of thin, beaten gold pages inscribed with hieroglyphics on them.
Rameth examines these items
using an inspiration
The glass vials are in excellent condition and clearly not of Osiriani make - making them an oddity and a luxury as well. You believe they are Thuvian, and to a collector they would be worth as much as 30 gp a piece.
The books are fascinating and you have to fight the urge to read the hieroglyphs, one apparently the life of the man in this tomb and the second a history of Osirian's military campaigns during his life. They could easily fetch 300 gp each to a collector.
Last but not least is the chest itself which you value at 200 gp, provided it remains intact.
"I can't imagine that they would go to all the trouble for just this. There must be more to this place."
Well we havent found the body yet.
Sumak will make his way towards the other doors and check them for traps, Hey Rameth, can you help me out here,
Off the chariot room you see a small hallway running towards the east, four golden funerary masks hang on one wall, staring down as if in judgement of anyone standing in the corridor.
In the room beyond you see a table displaying a three dimensional diorama occupies much of the north wall. Three shields with different designs are displayed on the east wall upon a rack, and various weapons hang from another rack along hte south wall.
Arrayed around the room are five small chests and a clay urn.
[ooc] Rameth will assist Sumak on the doors with aid another as requested both +7[/dice]
Rameth is at c8
Sumak will move stop and look at the various masks, guys you need to look at this, Sumak jumps up a few times but is unable to reach them, they look really cool,
Rameth, if you were looking at the fancy chest, you were at D3 - if you advanced into C8 instead let me know and I'll make the adjustment.
Albus, Azubah, Dwalindor please let me know where you want to move from now on (since I've gotten a handle on the token system!)
I was at the chest oops
Albus scans the extra room space with his arcane sight.
As you're scanning the room with detect magic you detect auras around the diorama and one of the shields against the north wall in the far room.
Azubah stays put until one of the front-liners opens a door or does something to bring about a threat.
Sumak continues to jump up and down trying to get the masks down with no avail, hey can somebody help me get these down, as he continues to jump and swat at the masks.
Dwalindor, as soon as you cross into the far room you see small figures move from the diorama and leap at you.

Initiative
The sudden assault takes Azubah completely unawares and he fumbles his morningstar, nearly dropping it. Treachery! This is a trap set by the Pharasmins! he thinks.
Nice, I can see magic auras from that shield and the diora... whatdat?!

Initiative Order:
Warrior Dolls
Sumak
Dwalindor
Rameth
Albus
Azubah
The dolls begin to weave around the room, two immediately attacking the nearest threat and the other moving to Sumak.
Attack Roles
The tiny statue that didn't move slams into Dwalindor, attacking him ferociously with it's small spear. Somehow it makes a pointed stab towards his leg that bypasses his armor.
The second statue attacking Dwalindor's spear isn't quite as able to penetrate and skitters off a leg greave.
The statue that stumbled past Dwalindor tries to stab Sumak but only succeeds in thrusting past him; to Sumak the statue looks almost woozy.
Ah!, you little bugger, Sumak shrieks and pulls out his shortsword and attacks the little flying doll, die you flying doll!
Sumak is so startled by the flying doll that he somehow manages to only graze the side of the doll.
