Muireach responds in kind, “My lady, you do me honor with your praise. I seek but one answer, have you an idea of what this text says? It is both similar, and different in my eyes.”

When you place the lantern into her hand, you expect something to happen, but... nothing happens.
However, this does, indeed, feel right. Is something missing?

The room begins to rumble as the statue moves backward into the alcove behind it, revealing dark stairs that lead down!
When you climb down, you find yourself in a room lined with six stone sarcophagi and fire that spouts from the walls, eternally burning it would seem. There is a magnificent, golden gleaming coffin that sits on the wall opposite you as you climb down. The lid is off, but you'd have to walk closer to look within...

Within you find the mummified remains of what looks like a woman, but her face is bovine-like with short horns that protrude from her head. She is heavily bandaged, so you do not see her decayed skin or anything. She is posed holding a silver lantern that glows with a golden flame. There doesn't seem to be any oil or anything inside of it. The magic users in the group are certain that this is magical, but you won't know what it does unless you check it out for about an hour or two.
"Thank you, champions..." You hear the voice from before whisper. She sounds quite weak now. "My tomb has been cleansed and so I can return to rest. Know that Coselia of the Sun will always watch over you..."
All the flames in the room go out, but the lantern provides light in the same way a Lantern, Hooded would.
For those searching for additional loot... Perception checks!
Perception 9 or less: Nothing of interest.
Perception 10+:
You find some assorted gems that are loosely placed on all the coffins, roll a 1d4+1 to take some if you'd like.
You notice the mummified woman's inner coffin is lined with stacks of golden sun-shaped coins. You find a total of 400 of these things.

Muireach opens each coffin and spots more mummified remains. These look to be of various humanoid types: elves, humans, dwarves, halflings. They seem to be carrying actual weapons like the statue above was holding, but they seem a bit old and rusty.
(If you'd like to take them, I will let the party decide how many of what there are so you each have a chance to take home a prize of some kind. If you'd like to know more about something, say which and make an investigation, history, religion or other related roll. Trained not necessary.)

Muireach leaps back, cursing in Sylvan before sighing, “Oh, large burial urns... delightful. I am very sorry for disturbing you, honored spirits of the dead. Return to your rest.” It would seem that Muireach is very superstitious.
"Well lads time to reap our rewards..." It seems like Luthok only notices the lantern at first. "HOW ARE WE SUPPOSED TO SPLIT A BLOODY LANTERN?" He shouts up towards the ceiling, seemingly to the voice everyones heard. Luthok walks over towards the lantern to pick it up. The second he walks into visual range of the gems his eyes sparkle. "I may be a druid and i might be able to survive on nature alone, but i am a dwarf either way." He snatches 5 gems and about 140 of the golden coins and stuffs it in the inner pockets of his tethered and torn jacket.
"You lads have earned a little too, you're not completely amateurs. Although i had to save yer arses from that spell" He signals towards Merrick and Dyoken who seemingly haven't noticed the pile of treasure within the coffin. "Keeping the lantern for now." He nods towards Muireach, the other magic user of the party.

In addition, Luthok spies and snatches 3 red corundum. He senses they are intensely magical gems filled with elemental power.
(Yes, this is an element gem! And Dyoken can loot since Luthok has alerted everyone well enough to take gems and their split of the coins at this juncture!)

Merrick, who was looking at the ornate coffins, hears Luthok and finally notices the gems. "Oooh shinies!" He rummages in the coffins, almost falling in.
The halfling comes out with 3 gems. He grabs a quarter of the gold coins (100)
This post has potentially manipulated dice roll results.
Dyoken moves into the room, and takes a look. He'll pick up 3 gems and 90 sun coins.
"Gold is nice, but friendship was our true reward all along." Dyoken nudges Luthok, as he lifts a girl back onto each shoulder.
"Someone grab this lantern to lock the door on the way out!" Dyoken calls back.
He'll carry them out and give a sharp whistle. When Rocinante trots up he'll lay the Yennan girl across his back then look around for Mordred to take the princess.

"Oh?" She sounds amused. "You cannot read this language? It is before your time, I suppose. It reads..."
"A bit on the nose, don't you think?" She chuckles and soon you feel her presence leave you.

Muireach ignites Calibolg and gently presses the flaming tip to the lantern’s wick.

DK picks up the girls and carries them down with the party. One under each arm. "Um, would your sword lead us to a trap? This seems like a trap."

“Of course. It is the duty of a hero.” Snagging four gems, Muireach will check each coffin, “What are these things? Are they some sort of container?”
