Ugh!!!! My eyes!!! They hurt! Usually the Kumiho was fine with such distinctive scents, but this was too much for her handle. As she ran her sharpened nails along the fabric she noticed the fur that nearly resembled the sphinx. Or maybe it was a cat-like creature. She doesn't know. Had that person really did something to anger them that much? Or did that fur come from something else? The thought of actually messing with them and actually stashing some fur like a souvenir just flooded her brain with unease. A brief flashback ran through her. Something in the past that caused her to lose a lot of fur and blood from one of her white tails. Her concealed tail tensed for a brief moment as she came back to her senses. She turns back to the group. "Shall we move, guys?" she hesitantly asks them only because she's trying to evade something awful inside her.

"Find anything important in those pockets?" Rohar asks
Yuri trembled at the booming voice of Rohar's but still managed to reply anyway."All I found inside a pocket was some fur that I'm not sure who it belonged to. It looked similar to a sphinx's fur coat but I'm not sure if that's the case. Other than that, I didn't see anything else. Still, that doesn't mean we should take whoever was behind all of this lightly."

'Yes, let us proceed.' I nodded to Yuri. 'Thank you, miss Yurime. Every piece of information helps.'
With that said, I turned on my heels and walked towards the pyramid. I hesitated slightly before its entrance but ventured forth into it with the resolution of someone who had already been through the worst, though I could not say why. Nonetheless, I would take courage wherever I could find it and with one hand held against the wall for guidance, I made my way into the unknown dark of the tomb.
Edit: what's the level of light inside the pyramid?
The entrance to the tomb has been clawed open. Luckily for Rashaken, the moonlight follows you through a small passageway until you find it just barely illuminating a door in front of you. An inscription lines the sandstone, detailing the figure of an elven Pharaoh, holding an ibis in his arms. Below him hieroglyphs spell out a message: Here lies the only pharaoh of the seventh dynasty, King Netjerbau Sedjefakare God chosen the wise, ruler of the prosperous kingdom and emissary of Thoth. If you wish to enter his final resting place, first answer this puzzle - The person who makes it has no need of it; the person who buys it has no use for it. The person who uses it can neither see nor feel it. What is it?

OOC: One of my friends literally asked me this one last week XD. I changed it just a bit to fit the theme of the story. I would have originally answered coffin.
"Hmmm... the person who makes it has no need of it... that could be a lot of things... the person who buys it has no use for it... so maybe it's a gift?... the person who uses it can neither see nor feel it... so one of two things, either the thing being made isn't material, or the person is unable to perceive it..." Three pauses for a moment, then he widens his eyes in realization: "Oooh! It's so obvious now that I know it! We are inside of a pyramid, which is a pharaoh's tomb. The pharaoh rests in a sarcophagus. The person who makes it doesn't need it, the person who buys it uses it for the pharoah, and the pharaoh can neither see nor feel it, because he is dead!"
I traced my hand along the wall to keep me steady while I entered the tomb. I murmured a small thanks for the moonlight following my steps for the stone structure would be dark as the night were it not for the light trailing in. My eyes adjusted to the darkness and I could faintly make out a door at the end of a small passageway. The door held the image of King Netjerbau Sedjefakare, may he rest in peace. The epithet accompanying him detailed his various hallowed names and, more to my curiosity, a riddle. How befitting an emissary of Thoth to challenge wits even from beyond the blessed sleep.
'The maker has no need of it, the buyer has no use of it, the user cannot see or feel it.' I muttered to myself. It was an old riddle with an equally old answer. 'A cof-'I began but quickly held my tongue. No, such a common item would not accommodate a ruler. 'A sarcophagus.'I spoke loudly in front of the door. I nonetheless took a step back just in case. Forewarned is forearmed as those who venerated Thoth were fond of saying.
Rohar will enter behind Three and Rashaken. She knows letters, but can barely read as having been a slave all her life, so she listens as they work out the riddle together. She hears them both say 'Sarcophagus' at the same time as Rashaken backs up a step. "Cool", she says.
As they approached the interior door Gnash gave a small gesture of respect to the resting Pharaoh and hissed a quick prayer.
While the members ahead of him read aloud the riddle he's still struggling to work out the implications of the first line when both Three and Rashaken exclaim their answer. "Ah yes, of course. Well done."the crocodile man says.
As Three and Rashaken say the words 'a sarcophagus' in unison, the door opens, revealing a small passageway lit by torches that seem to have been magically ignited. At the far end of the passageway is another door, this one slightly ajar.
Rohar looks around the group. "I have an uncanny ability to be able to spot traps and surprises, shall I go first?"
Rohar is referring to her danger sense, she doesn't know what it is, but knows she doesn't get surprised easily.
You have advantage on DEX saving throws against effects that you can see while not blinded, deafened, or incapacitated.
I was a bit surprised at hearing Three yell out the same answer at the exact time I did but as it furthered our cause, I paid it no heed. The goliath lady strolled up behind us and offered to go first. I politely stepped aside to let her take point.
'I trust that you know what you're doing.'I gave a small nod as she passed me by.
As you creak open the door, you find yourselves in a room filled with broken sarcophagi and shattered amphoras. With an unearthly groan, two mummies rise from the sarcophagi unison, turning with glowing red eyes towards you. Their decaying, bandage wrapped arms stretch out before them as they open their rotting maws, ready to meet you in combat.
For the first time in this campaign, I'm going to need everyone to roll initiative! :D

Rohar will proceed to the open door and look in, if all looks ok, will proceed with a bit of caution down the hall to the other door.
This hallway looks ok. Would you like to open the door?

Yes
As you creak open the door, you find yourselves in a room filled with broken sarcophagi and shattered amphoras.

Their decaying, bandage wrapped arms stretch out before them as they open their rotting maws, ready to meet you in combat.

She will pull her scimitar and move out of the doorway to allow everyone else to enter.
"There are mummies in here." She yells back.
OOC: YAAAY COMBAT!!!
Initiative: 7
-Archie
OOC: Here we go gang! Let's do this!!!!
Yuri was at the back so she couldn't see what lay ahead of her... until she heard this:
"So someone already beat us to it, huh?" She snarled as she readies her viol and her fan. Initiative (Game log): 16
Edit: I think we're all taking this WAAAAAAYY too personally for our first fight XDXDXDXD
