No traps are placed inside the sarcophagus, as far as Isabella can see. She reaches for the staff...
But...
[for Isabella]
A strange feeling is crawling up from the staff and reaches Isabella's mind. A feeling of truth, kindness, of shining scales of a jaculi watching out for the people of Omu from a stealth spot in the trees.
OOC You can attempt to resist this feeling with Charisma saving throw, or you can welcome it.
"Well it has excellent craftsmanship, definitely has magical properties. Probably worth several hundred gold, I think Kurma or maybe Oniss should use it. It does seem to want to compel truth from the wielder." She holds the staff inspecting it admiring the craftmanship.

"Well I am a seeker of truth, I could maybe wield it" said Kurma, extending his arm to grab the staff...

When Gertrude helps open the sarcophagus, she stretches her arms out to give the lid a good push. But when her eyes randomly look at her wrists, she jumps in surprise. What the hell was happening to her?!?
After a moment of hesitation, Kurma looks at the staff and says "I am a priest of Oghma, The Wise God. Seeker of truth, holder of knowledge. I fear you not"

To Gertrude, that might be a prank engineered by Irommek.
Gertrude drops the lid of the sarcophagus, nearly missing Irommek's toes. "You!!" She stares into Irommek's eyes. "Make this go away!!! I know that you're behind it! Please, Irommek, this is not funny."
After a moment of hesitation, Kurma looks at the staff and says "I am a priest of Oghma, The Wise God. Seeker of truth, holder of knowledge. I fear you not"
After a moment, where the mind went just blank, a figure gets stuck in Kurma's mind: Moa the jaculi. The senses go back to normal after a few seconds.
"Greetings, my friend. I see we share more than just passion for the truth. I am Moa, a spirit of what once was considered a god, but a true god I was never."
Brunella, who is usually quite silent and serious, focused on survival and combat, takes a look at Gertrude with surprise. She takes in the shaggy fur around her face and arms. Brunella starts to giggle. The giggle turns into a chuckle, which turns into a laugh. Brunella is unable to control herself. All the stress and fear from the last day comes spilling out, and Brunella starts to laugh uncontrollably. Her laugh is infectious, and tears stream down her face as she holds her sides. It is the pure laugh of a young woman, without malice at Gertrude, just at the hilarity of her fur covered look.
Her laugh is so contagious that Irommek and others cannot help but feel smiles tug at their faces, they have the urge to join and laugh too.
Kurma sits down and closes his eyes. With his hand on the staff he casts Identify and try to commune with it.
"Greeting to you, great Moa. Does your spirit lives in me now ? I feel so honored to be able to speak to you, I have so many questions. We are here to destroy the death curse that Acererak brought to this land. What can you tell us about him? Do you know this tomb well? Can you help us?" Kurma stops his train of thoughts." I apology, as I told you, I am a guardian of the knowledge. I am always searching for answers"
As the incantation finishes, Kurma look at his companion and vanishes

Moa: "You are an honourable individual for having a quest such as this. I vow to help you with this cause. My intelligence about the Tomb itself is limited, but I shall share what I know as we go forward.
I don't exactly live in you now. It is temporary. I, as the other Omuan gods, are bonded and doomed to this place. Acererak is an arch-lich. He is powerful beyond belief. Many attempted to confront him, all of them failed. With the help of the good-hearted Omuan gods, perhaps we stand a chance to stop the Soulmonger, at least. Search for them, but beware of the perils of this place."
"Hmmmm" she will inspector inside for traps if, there are no traps she will pick it up.

With the surprise of everyone, Gertrude wakes up finding her body covered by a growing shaggy fur. Even on the cheeks and the chin.

Oniss looks to Kurma before he grabs the staff.
"My lies may be more valuable to use then the staff, enjoy Kurma."

Oniss is surprised by Gertrudes new look? As she snaps at Ironmmek he steps in.
"Gertrude, I doubt Irommek would do this, or have the ability. This is not my magic but honestly seems like something that would happen to me."

A minute after, Kurma reappears behind Irommek, with his undead mask on his face, trying to scare the dwarf: "Bwaaaaah !!!"
