Seif tightens his grip on the hilt of his sword, but does not make any aggressive moves...
...he does however concentrate, and focus on the dragon.
In draconic, but translates via the telepathic link
"Your master is here, dragon. Come return to him and we will leave you in peace." Bel motions to the casket, but floats backwards away from it.
The tiny undead dragonling is indeed, an evil creature. Greedy and vile to its core. Nevertheless, it is a child, an unaware that its very nature is evil.
Seif also detects a ripple in the coins at the edge of the room. It appears for a second, then disappears again. A few coins clink together, and the sound quietly bounces off the walls.
The dragon, heeding the words of Belgraen, slinks back into the coffin, and curls up on the chest of the long-dead Pharaoh.

Anum, notes that coins occasionally shift throughout the room (never more than a slight tremble really) but does not see anything out of the ordinary.
The young dragon mummy falls inert on the chest of the Pharaoh.

The heavy lid is placed back on the coffin, and a heavy silence falls over the chamber.
"Well that was educational." Bel says with an audible sigh of relief.
"Would anyone like to fill their pockets and see what happens or shall we move on? I My little spies found something interesting upstairs."
"I came here for answers, not gold. Is there not another door on this level that we should investigate, however, before we continue our ascent?"
The chamber you are in is perfectly square, and has large double doors on each wall.

Belgraen points at the door they did not enter from.
"Very well, let's see what there is to be seen. Underdune, can you see through the wall again, or is that skill limited?"
Anum pauses for a moment and says, "While limited, I have barely tapped into my reserves for my sight."
All the doors lead into an outer hallway, which encircles (or rather, squares around) the room you are currently occupying.
"let's go back to the (insert) that the eyes saw above"
"Yes I agree. Let's check that out"
Seif nods.
"Agreed."
we exit and head toward where my eye saw the mummy.
As you turn the corner, you find the shaft empty. Looking up the shaft, you can make out the shape of the golem, climbing up and pushing the platform to the levels above.
Seif eyes the retreating golem warily.
"I take it that it will be back, shortly?"

"I take it that it will be back, shortly?"
"I assume so. "
Bel says looking around at his companions awkwardly at his lack of anything significant to add.
Anum will search the area while they wait
[/ooc]
Assuming you all get up with minimal difficulties, you gather on the level above (the entry level). Backtracking leads you to the T-shaped intersection.

After waiting for a few minutes, Dianora lets out a sigh. "We do not have time for this, unless we want to risk being trapped in here. Let us ascend on our own."
Worst case scenario bel can levitate and use telikinesis to get everyone else up.
Anum will levitate up to the next level
Going up the level, you come to the T shape intersection, the passage on your left leads back to the entrance of the tomb. The other tunnel, which goes straight ahead, leads to the room with the linen-wrapped monster that Belgraen saw in his spell.
Towards the monster.
Towards the monster.
Going straight down the hall, there is a sudden left, which turns into a large chamber. Each wall is riddled with various hieroglyphics and seals. in the north-east corner, a human form swathed in tattered linens is propped against the wall.

get within 60 feet and detect magic
SPellcraft
Nothing about the room detects as magical, although the linen-wrapped form in the corner gives off a necromantic aura.
Bel moves to within 50 feet of the presumed mummy and speaks to it.
"What is your name, Corpse?"
Seif stares hard at the mummy.
Dianora begins edging her way around the room, trying to put herself on the other side of the mummy from Belgraen.
Anum prepares himself in case of battle, lining himself up with Dianora
The linen wrapped corpse's head slowly raises, leveling hot-coal eyes at Belgraen.
"My name was Seraton. Now I am nameless. I entered the island, and cast my eye, I didn't go my on my way, so I had to die. I voiced regret, but they heard not my plea, and in the end, I no longer serve me."
Sief detects that the creature is evil.
The room is 30x30, with the monster in the south-east corner.
Seif telepathically communicates his findings to the others.
What should we do with it? It seems to want to talk, but what it has to say worries me...

Telepathically ::We talk until it becomes unproductive, then we deal with it.::
To the corpse
"You were a treasure hunter then? were you here when the pyramid disapeared last?"
"I have served The Four for the past 56 cycles of the Sun. I was at one time, like you, a mercenary, a treasure hunter, a sword for hire." the mummy's raspy voice sends chills down your spine.

Telepathically ::Feel free to offer ideas for questions. ::
To the creature "In what capacity have you served and whom do you serve?"
More questions: "Do you know what we seek and where is it?
"I serve as the guardian to this tomb, as do others. I serve the Four, who's runes you find hidden in the passage ways. I know not what you seek."
"I serve as the guardian to this tomb, as do others. I serve the Four, who's runes you find hidden in the passage ways. I know not what you seek."
Bel looks curiously at the creature. Not entirely sure what to do with it.
"Ask it if it can tell us where the runes are, so we may avoid them. Or perhaps any other of their servants or even where they are. Perhaps we can make use of this creature, turn the pharoah's weapon back on themselves."
