The picture is only slightly recognizable as the ghost, but who knows right now.

The eye points toward the south. Hard to tell if it is pointing either way. Although there was another room to the northwest by the ghost, as well as a passage off the southwest corner.

"The eye points in a general southern direction," observes Tez. "We could first check out how the other two ways look like, or continue here and see if this doorway leads South or further East. I'd quickly check all options before continuing this way." If no one objects, he returns to the previous room and checks where the other passages lead, starting with the one to the North-West. Before, entering the stairway, however, he will check for traps on the stairs and in the corridors (Perception: 12).

Nothing appears to be trapped in the area. You hope. Entering the other tomb area, the smell of old parchment fills this tomb. Bookshelves carrying various tomes and scholarly implements stand against the walls. At the center is a stone, gold-painted sarcophagus, the sides of which bear a beautiful relief carving of two humanoid women exploring a forest together.

Knowing about the doorway in the other room, Tez takes a closer look at where he expects to be another door leading further West, though he won't open it (he may light the torches on the wall to help his search - I'm not sure how strict we handle light here. Investigation: 23).

The hallway has no door, it simply opens into another room. How close does Tez get to the other room?

Eima will follow Tezzy to help in his investigations. As she passes by the ghost she says, "Well, ghosty, we may have found your body but we ain't sure yet. Yer possibly a Hallwinter, renowned family." She forces a grin at the headless ghost before proceeding.

 Once everyone is there with him, he risks a look through the opening into the new room without entering at first. If it appears safe, he slowly enters for a more thorough inspection.

Tymm isn’t especially interested in all this exploration, so he’s just waiting around bored until someone asks him to do something

This is the southwest passage, correct? Not the other tomb?

 (My understanding was that the SE chamber had a door, which we haven’t yet opened. Thinking there would be a mirror layout, Tez was checking the NW chamber for a door there, perhaps behind the shelves, but essentially where had been a door in the SE chamber. He didn’t approach the SW hallway yet. Please correct me if I’ve got something wrong.)

(Nope that's fine, I misunderstood. There is no door in the back of the northwest tomb. The southwest passage is open though, no door.)

In absence of a continuation of the chamber, Tez was distracted by the many books in the shelves that he had peeked behind. He peruses titles, if legible, and tries to guess what a person might have their final resting place in a little library of their own. (Investigation: 19)

The books seem pretty mundane for a mage, general topics of various aspects of the arcane arts. However, one does have a secret compartment which contains a spell scroll of Protection from Evil and Good. There is also a golden heart shaped locked on the shelves, tucked off to the side. One of the figures depicted in the sarcophagus’s relief carving wears armor that matches the armor of the ghost as well.

Tez takes out the scroll and shows it to the others, "Look what I found! There's a magic scroll here." If no one objects, he will pocket the scroll, "I have a feeling we will be needing this today - more than this fellow here at any rate." He points out the similarities of armoured figure depicted on the sarcophagus to the others and then asks, "So where should we go? East or West? I'd go East through the chamber with the sarcophagus but I'm open for suggestions, of course."

Sky looks on. "Tez, I think you may be on to something. Lets go East."

"If East is where ye want to go then East is fine by me." says Eima. When Tezzy mentions the similarities of the armor she asks, "Did ye see a name perhaps? Might the ghosty be able to us something we give an answer on his identity?"

[[ Fine with Tez pocketing the scroll for now, though I think Eima is the only one with the spell on her spell list. ]]

[Honestly, I didn't check who could use the scroll. I assumed that Tez could. If he can't and Eima can, then please, take it.]

"I didn't see anything of note." Tez replies and walks with the group to the previous chamber and tries to find out if anyone of them can make sense of the scroll that he had just found. Once in the chamber, he takes a careful look inside the doorway behind the sarcophagus.

Opening the door, it is a dark tunnel that branches down just a little ways away.

Tymm will go in first, to try and shield the others from potential danger

Tez tries to see if there are any footsteps or other indicators that someone recently has gone down this way. (Perception: 22)

"Do we need to light a torch? I can see more or less fine in the dark."
