The Wayfarer's Inn

The ladder-like object is the only thing that was hidden beneath the mummy. The inside walls of the sarcophagus are plain.

Sol seems content to let the others investigate what was under the mummy. He will begin gathering scraps of wood from the shrine area to build a funeral pyre upon which to burn the mummy. Of course, he isn't going to light it, just get it ready. While he does so, he will also look at the large pillar, mostly to see if the buttons are still there and if the cubby where the rings and bracelets were is still open and what it contains now, if anything.

The buttons are there, as well as the opening in the other pillar. Rings and bracelets are still there, with no one missing.

Eilkhan will check for booby traps and the such within the sarcophagus before removing the odd looking ladder.

"I am against burning this mummy", Kherim says. "If we must destroy it, which is not certain as Gaderon pointed, let it be by force of weapons. Smoke and fire will be more harmful to us than to it."

"You're right, we can not be sure of anything. We can not even be sure if this mummy has some evil spirit within that makes it rise as the one before, and hacking or burning it just because it might would probably be a violation of holy precepts... which I'm not too keen about."

Kherim shrugs. But he still maintains his original idea
"However, the other mummy was not affected by fire and indeed we had to fight it while alit and that was more a problem to us than to it. This is my whole rationale."

Then he shifts attitude and addresses all others
"However, are we done here? Have you noticed that the Evil One seems to think our only interest here is stealing his treasures? That may be an advantage for us. All Aldinach cared about was to destroy those coffers where apparently there were gold and gems. And that, he thought, was what we came for. The point is, have we found everything we cared for in this room? Is our only doubt now what to do about this mummy?"

"I for one think we should move on. We've been in here long enough as it is," says Eilkhan.


Ahi speaks as well "I for one agree with Kherim. I believe his assessment on the Demon and am of the
mind to leave this chamber and explore more of this cursed place."

Sol says "Ok, you will get no arguements from me. The next question is do we take the stairs in the giant pillar? Or do we search this room for other exits and continue to explore the general area we are in?"

OOC: I have forgotten details of the area we are in. Are there any visible or secret doors to this room? Had we finished exploring the area off of the tunnel with the pit traps or do we still have a direction that we had not gone?

Gaderon hearing the varing discussion will, nod and look to the others as he speaks up. "There is now also the matter of this surviving ivory coffeer... If all that it contains is minor riches then there is nothing serious to worry about, but still perhaps we should check if it is of more import than that!"
