The power of the amulet reveals a highly unusual and powerful aura of magic and evil around the item beneath the ashes of the burned sarcophagus. In fact, the aura reminds Ahi a lot of the four evil items that he and his comrades found earlier during this adventure in the village of Aartuat and within the Temple of Osiris, and that are tied to their quest in some mysterious way. Could it be another one? Easily looking through the ashes that cover it, Ahi sees that it's a kind of scepter, about 2 feet in length, its upper half made of gold and shaped like a lightning bolt. The tip of the scepter is crowned by an ugly and demonic looking ram's head. The lower half of the scepter is probably carved from ebony and wrapped in a pale leather that is most likely a piece of human skin. On it are hieroglyphs and a depiction of a jackal-headed Set.
The amulet reveals nothing more to Ahi within this chamber.
The treasure heap on the left side of the chamber consists of several chests, jars, bowls, mirrors, all of the finest materials and workmanship. Spilled around these are pieces of jewelry, weapons, pieces of armor and even a few single gems and gold coins.
