It takes nearly an hour for Eilkhan to pry out all the hardened bitumen from the door seams. Since she hadn't detected anything suspicious, she tries opening the portal but quickly realizes that it doesn't work. The doors are extremely hard to move, and it takes great effort from several of your group to finally open one of them at least so much as to make it possible for you to pass through.
Ahead lies a large chamber, 30 feet wide and 50 feet long. The ceiling is 30 feet above. The room is plastered white and painted with scenes of Rahotep counting his wealth, inspecting magical things, wearing jewels, and doing all manner of things for the purpose of storing for future use such treasures as a priest-mage and soldier might have accumulated during a lifetime of success in the wealthy days of ancient Khemit under the guise of a generous Pharaoh (and by success and dishonesty as well). All those things are spoken of in the writings that separate and underscore the depictions. There's nothing else in this chamber, no furnishings, no statues, the space is empty and echoing.
Four archway passages lead from this chamber into darkness, two each in the north and the south walls, with each passage being 10 feet broad.
