After a few moments of searching, a secret door seemingly opens by itself - at least Eilkhan didn't notice that she accidentally used some mechanism.
A huge chamber with a peaked ceiling lies before you. It is 70 feet across and 40 feet wide; the ceiling reaches to 40 feet at its top, tapering in all four directions to 10-foot height at the walls. The usual hieroglyphs cover the lower walls, and many stone statues of strange deities line the walls, accompanied by the expected ones of Set, Sobek, and other Dark Ones. The floor is of black onyx, polished smooth.
Nine columns dominate the place, all reaching from floor to ceiling. Each of the outer four is 4 feet in diameter and almost 20 feet tall, made of dark green stone. Each of the inner four is 6 feet across and almost 30 feet tall, made of black-gray granite. And in the center of the room is a massive column a full 10 feet in diameter and 40 feet tall, made of deep red sandstone.
As far as you can tell without entering the room yet, the pictures and texts on the walls praise Rahotep and Set, recounting the vile and wicked deeds of the former and raising prayers to the latter. Some even seem to display magical formulae for preserving and protecting the mummy, the tomb, and the name of Rahotep.
Without entering the chamber, the area directly behind the huge red pillar remains hidden from your view.
