Sky will go with Eima

Perception: 17+3 = 20

Sky notices a few things in this small room:

- Engraved on the lid of the sarcophagus is a coat of arms depicting a blunted six-point crown.

- One of the figures depicted in the sarcophagus’s relief carving wears armor that matches the armor of the ghost in area before.

- There is an elaborate looking shield that still looks useable.

- They see the faint outline of a doorway at the back of the tomb.

Tez enters the small room with the sarcophagus after Sky and Eima shared their observations. His fingers run over the depiction of  the armored figure, while he observes the symbol of the six-pointed crown. ‘Have I heard anything about related to this symbol during my service?’ (History with Guidance: 15). 

While the others are investigating, Tymm is just following close behind, half keeping watch, half trying to curb the urge to touch stuff

Tez enters the small room with the sarcophagus after Sky and Eima shared their observations. His fingers run over the depiction of  the armored figure, while he observes the symbol of the six-pointed crown. ‘Have I heard anything about related to this symbol during my service?’ (History with Guidance: 15). 

They recognize symbol as the crest of the Hallwinter family, whose lineage produced renowned knights throughout the Sword Coast.

Tez enters the room fully and asks the others, "Should we check what's inside? Perhaps it reveals the ghost's identity? What do you think?"

"Aye. Sounds like a plan, Tezzy." says Eima. She heads over to the door, wondering if there's a mechanism to make it turn. "Let's see if we can help each other?"

Investigation: 3+5 = 8

"Oh.. I ... ah... actually meant the sarcophagus...," Tez stammers but turns to help Eima investigating the door (Investigation: 10 + 3 (guidance)).

[[ Whoops, misunderstood you. But hopefully the check on the door goes well. ]]

Make a strength check to push open the sarcophagus.

The door in the back of the room is unlocked.

Tymm sees Tex trying to open the sarcophagus. And goes to Help.

”That’s something I can do!”

Tez gestures Tymm to give it a try, “Have a go, I think I’m not going to be of much help there.”

Strength Check: 9

(🤦🏼‍♂️Tymm literally has one job!!)

Tymm's hands must be slipper from the yucky water earlier still. *nod nod*

Eima sets down her packs and takes out a crowbar. "Well if brute strength won't do the job, why don't we try getting a bit of leverage?" She passes it to Tymmy. "You press on that. I'll use a little mage hand to see about shifting things and grasping the other side?" She tries to help Tymmy with getting a better hold if his hands are still too slippery.

Tymm wipes his hands on his clothes and attempts to push again with Eima’s Help.

Strength: 16

The stone coffin slides slowly with an earthly groan...revealing naught but a desiccated corpse inside it.

Eima takes a look and tries to paint a mental picture of the corpse's body to see how it compares to that of the ghost they met. She imagines it alive and healthy, how the proportions would be. She also takes a gander at the face and if there's any writing on any cloths in the sarcophagus.

Perception: 2+3 = 5
Investigation: 14+5 = 19

"Think this is our ghost?" she asks the others.

Sky examines the picture drawn by Eima. 

"I don't know. Maybe he should have found out for himself if there were a clue just next door. But, then, maybe he just couldn't open it or can't read without a head?" Tez shrugs. "I really wouldn't know. This one has the crest of the Hallwinter family which is a family known for knighthood. But, then this entire crypt could be filled with corpses of knights for all we know and who knows which one would be our headless greeter? Perhaps, we should focus on the cult for now and if we run across anything that looks suspicious, like a headless knight, we keep it in mind and tell the ghost on the way out? Seemed a patient fellow to me."

'Are we on the right track?' Tez wonders as he checks back at the eye and what indication it gives.
