"Wait!" Isabella exclaims "Perhaps Kurma's staff might be on to something... Wongo was depicted as violent and deranged according to legend. Perhaps that why his tomb was guard by the propeller."

"So we may need to fight a violent and deranged creature? Sounds like business as usual!"
Hitting the front of his shield with his hammer a couple of times, Irommek adds "I'll wait out here for whatever jumps out of the sarcophagus. Let's do this before I die of old age...and don't even think about saying that event could be any day now Oniss."
Dragonbait closes himself in the rusty chest. A clicky, metallic sound is hard as the lid falls over the saurial. A few moments later, a button appears on the sarcophagus.
Gertrude looks longingly at the rusty chest. It felt somehow homely. But only the black onyx chest is left. So she steps over to it, jumps inside and closes it over her head. Then she turns the key.
And so, Gertrude and Brunella get into the onyx and silver chests, respectively. Two more buttons appear on the sarcophagus. The three buttons seem to be made of the same material of the corresponding chest.
The stone sarcophagus turns to transparent crystal, revealing a mummified monkey-like creature within. Clutched in its desiccated claws is a fearsome mace.
"Very well... be ready." Kurma takes a torch to avoid touching the button with his finger and press the first button with it. (i.e the button that appeared when Dragonbait turned the key)
As soon as Kurma pushes the button, the chest, where Dragonbait is, opens up, but something happens to him. His breastplate armour and a few more metal items get all rusted and become a useless pile of dust. Other than that, Dragonbait is free and shrugs at the fate of his armour.
"Perhaps it's a rust monster! I don't.... After all that's happen to Felix and you guys. Me turning into a Yuanti because a cursed sword. Do we really want to open it and risk losing any more?" Isabella unsure continues "Why don't we just leave it alone and look for another spirit. We know it's safe to get here let deal with devil's we no verses the devil's we don't know."

"I think Moa would agree, it warned me against this one...I am curious, but not to the point I could lose my friends" Kurma walks to the 2 other chest and knock hard on them: "Get out girls, we're stopping the experiment here."
Oniss looks at the rust and agrees with Kurma. He adds;
"Well this little monkey may be the mischievous one but let us note that we really don't know much with this spirit in you either. You have been acting a little odd since bonding with that spirit yourself."
“Oniss, I must say that meeting this spririt gave me back some hope, I may seem a bit more jovial but I’m the same Kurma.” ”I actually feel that Moa is a really nice spirit, who is keen on defeating Acererak. He always speaks the truth and I like that”
As his companions are getting out of the chest, Kurma explains what had happened.
“We have a choice: forgetting this spirit that seems to make us suffer to get to him, or if you’re really want it by our side keep opening the two other chests. I must say that Moa is keen on leaving this spirit here. From what I remember, they were diametrically opposed spirit. I’ll be tempted to follow Moa advice, not sure if we need a spirit that likes to hurt us...”
"I can jump in a chest if needed - it just won't be very comfortable, considering my size... but I won't have to stay in there for long."
Gertrude gets ready to jump inside the iron chest. But waits to see what Kurma and Isabella have to say and what the group decides.
She is very curious about the chests and the mechanism and would like to try this.
Wongo has the form of a su-monster, the monkey-like creature with psychic abilities. Legend has it that he is violent and deranged.

“The sarcophagus won’t budge. We may have to push a button... but which one?”
Kurma is looking for clues in the sarcophagus to know which button to push

Brunella sees this, and makes sure to put her sword and items away in a pile so that they don't get rusted in case this happens to her.

"Oh no....I am sorry Dragonbait. Are you alright? Accessing this spirit is costing us dearly... Is it worth it? Should we continue pushing button?"

Sighing just a little, Irommek walked up to the exit and looked out at the broken propeller.
"All right then. Where do we go from here?"
"There's the beholder on the third level with the purple ooze. There's also that guardian patrolling the tomb."
