Starker continues to puzzle over the Dooflinkyberg Device. Cyrus points to things in an effort to assist. Starker shakes his head pointing to other aspects of the device.
New buttons, knobs and protuberances appear as others fold into the device.

Perhaps we should check the crypt also.
Darkbane still senses the evil of this entire complex. This evil force… Darkbane warns me that force is the power driving each of these things we have faced.
Starker:”I flatter myself into thinking I have made some progress, but feel more work is required. I will continue to work on it while you examine the sarcophagus.”
investigation roll (effective at an appropriate time of additional work) = 14
“Can I get some assistance, here? A little collaboration might help.”
The shadow dissipated with the destruction of the vampire spawn.
The sarcophagus is made of a single piece of basalt it appears. The lid is made of the same stone. On top of the sarcophagus is an elongated, horned skull carved from a different color of basalt. You find nothing irregular or of concern.
Starker continues to work on the Dufleenkieburg Device. As soon as he thinks he has derived a pattern, something changes.
<Within the minute of Guidance, Starker quickly tosses to object to test whether or not its buoyancy indictares a hollow inside rechecks his notes on static charge disipation rate, and thinks hard, investigating for all he is worth.>
Starker:”What an inconvenient distraction from my important work on the puzzling protuberant orb.”
<sits back down to continue his lengthy, in depth (advantage giving?) investigation.>

Investigation = 13
That was an excellent effort by all!

Surely that force- it must be Illandil

If the frightened Shadow is not vanquished, Kragen will call Tyr's Radiance to dispatch it.
Once complete, Kragen returns to investigate the sarcophagus.
Investigation = 9

Yartol, could you please provide Guidance to Starker and we can help him look at this puzzle to see if another perspecitve is useful.
Yartol obliges and casts Guidance on Starker.
Starker:”Thank you! That helps enormously!”

d4 from guidance = 4 ((!))
Investigation = nat 20 + 11 + 4 = 35 !!!!!!!!!!!!!!
With guidance in place, Trolkarl will try to "help" by asking questions and being inquisitive about what Starker has learned thus far.
Hopefully, I can at least be a decent protege and Starker will get more insights himself by taking the time to explain it to me.
Not much to to share with sarcophagus. How does this box work anyway?
