As soon as Ahi touches the scepter, its functioning and abilities are revealed to him. He shudders because of the evil within this item, but also knows that it does no harm to him and that he may carry it along without fear.
Sol is absolutely right about the vast amount of treasure found here. Inside the chests are ancient gold and silver coins, the jars are sealed and most likely hold perfumes and unguents, the numerous bowls, cups, goblets, mirrors and other other items are all made of gold or silver and often studded with gems or inlaid with bands of precious stones, some of them are filled with sparkling gems to the brim - it's truly more than even Eilkhan's magical bag could hold. None of it is magic as Sol can quickly determine by using Tizona's power, and so he and Eilkhan start to fill the smaller goodies like gems, jewelry and coins into her bag.
Among the treasure, there's one item that probably catches the eye of Kherim - a beautiful golden amulet of exquisite workmanship that shows the Eye of Horus inlaid with onyx and jade.
The items that Sol picked for his wife Katrina are a golden necklace with the engraved image of a Phoenix, a golden ring with a topaz scarab and a golden brooch with concentric circles etched in it.
After about a half hour or more, Eilkhan's bag is well filled with treasure. It now also holds the three magic items that the mummy wore: Flail, crook and mask.
Looking around, it seems as if there's not much more in here (except for another wagonload of treasure, of course).
What will you do next?
