Grenk already had his knees bent ready to charge in when Badger called them to halt.  He nearly stumbled and then stands still with his sword at the ready.  He doesn't see the hand signals as he keeps his eyes trained on the undead infront of him.

Mal steadies his breath and continues to lurk in the shadows, his crossbow aimed at one of the undead.

Badger leaps nimbly back through the passage.  The undead freeze.  A smile creeps across Badgers gnome face along with a look of triumph. The undead that had leapt up, sit back down with the crunch of bones. Sickle continues to stand in the room, frozen through the whole ordeal.  The eyes glance about and then continue darting around the room, unable to see Sickle. 

Everyones muscle's unclench. 

Sickle takes a few deep breaths. Now what?

Sickle will walk back to the others, whispering to Badger when he gets back. "Ok, why don't you get your hand to get masks for the rest of you, then lets send a couple in to look around."

Six masks later and the group is wandering around the tomb, free of fear, the eyes darting to and fro but unable to see any of you. The undead remain on their thrones. 

Badger nods and then looks up at Sickle and says: Thank you, friend, for your bravery. I confess I wasn't entirely sure of your safety. He gives Sickle a grateful pat on the leg, and then turns to cast his Mage Hand and retrieve a mask for each of them so anyone who wishes can safely enter the room.

(OOC: Maybe Grenk can kill the undead without resistance! But wait until we are done in case that goes south...)

(Oops, didn't see new DM post)

Badger removes his helm to place the mask. He wanders into the room, sticking to the perimeter (still not entirely trusting the corpses to stay dead) and makes his way to the window to see if he can get a view of the original passage.

There are two alcoves in each wall, except for the wall with the large crystal window in it. The secret door you came through is actually behind one such alcove. That means Sickle had snuck between an undead corpse and the edge of the alcove to sneak into the room (DM error there....).  Either way, each alcove has a throne and an undead creature upon it. In the middle of the room is the large sarcophagus. The disk of eyes is on the far side of the sarcophagus from the crystal window.  The window is a large arched crystal window, six feet wide and ten feet high. Peering through it you can see the dark hallway on the other side. Part way down on the right it branches away to the entrance, and on the left is the demon face on the wall. Halfway between the crystal window and the intersection is an iron grate in the floor. All appears as you'd expect it to. 

You walk around the room examining things. 

As Sickle also walks around, he notices a rotting hinge behind an alcove on the far side of the room, and figures there must be a secret door there, similar to the one you came in through. 

(You guys are in #10 at the moment. #8 was the statue of magnetism. #9 is the fountain. )

Please ignore the little skull things. 

"Can anyone else get a mask without going in first?" Silas question as he looks around the party, "Otherwise, I could try to turn the undead and we destroy those who are turned," He holds his holy symbol in his hand.

(OOC:  Silas has a mask now. Sickle and Badger retrieved them and brought them over to the others.)

(OOC: Re room description. Sorry I missed that. I thought the corpses were in the middle by the sarcophagus)

So, what else do you guys do in this room, or do you head somewhere else?  

"this place is a death trap in many ways, I believe it is best to proceed forward," Silas speak before donning the mask and moving part the room after badger.

Assuming not, but is there any writing or anything on the sarcophagus? If not, and we are going to move on for the moment, Sickle will slip past the throne to the new secret door.

Having done a circuit of the room, Badger has a look at the sarcophagus in the middle. A room dedicated to Obo'laka, with a coffin the middle. Badger mutters. Could it be...? And he attempts to push open the sarcophagus.

Strength: 6

(LOL. I think we're safe, guys)

(OOC: Generally I only need a roll if there is a penalty for failure, or there is a time constraint or if it's something like a contested roll which is a one-time thing.  Otherwise, with enough re-tries, people can generally just succeed, assuming success is possible (read : 20 + skill modifier)) 

Badger pushes. It doesn't move. He pushes again, and puts a bit more effort into it.  There is a grinding sound and the lid of the sarcophagus is pushed aside. 

The bones of a Zorbo lay in a dusty pile at the bottom of this tomb. You see a platinum ring, lined with dust and engraved with decorative designs, sitting atop the pile of dusty bones. 

(OOC: I didn't want to hold up the thread waiting for a roll. Can ignore if not required, right?)

Badger casts Detect Magic and if the ring appears to be magical, he will take it for later inspection.

(OOC: Absolutely, you never know, I support adding a roll just in case! Thanks!) 

Badger picks up the magical ring. 

Mal will head over to the potential secret door and give it a look over to see if she can open it and see if it is trapped.

Perception: 18

"You sure you don't want me to stick this sword into every corpse?"  Grenk asks.  He waits for a response and assuming they say no he will shrug.  "How about I kick that decaying door down?  Can I at least have that joy."  

Assuming yes Strength check 6

Sickle sees the ring come out. He looks at it, then back at the hidden door.  “The ring is a path to another tomb,” he mused.
