As if laughing at adventurers caution the room now remains quiet and peaceful as a nursery.
Leon looked around with his magic sight. The silvery rivers, channels and lakes do shine - there is definitely magic in it. The mask (skeleton did not object the robbery) - too (Illusion school). Scroll gave the expected aura. But the rest is just metal, stone and clay. If there are traps here, they are of a not magical nature.
Bernard now bravely applied his strength to the stubborn pyramid - and it help. What was even funnier, it seemed to be honestly jammed - nothing jumped out, or tried to catch or shoot at ranger. The pyramid was indeed a some kind of a chest holding ten coin necklaces (each made of three hundred sixty silver coins pierced and threaded on a piece of gut), six pairs of jade earplugs (worth 15 gp a set), an alabaster statuette (worth 50 gp), and an agate ring (worth 5 gp). A small fortune by any standards.
Bernard looks up to the others. "Yeah this is a treasure chest. Lots of coins and a few other pieces of precious stone. You want me to take them all or is that too disrespect?"
Ramious snorts at Bernard's question. "Obviously we take it. If there's anything I've learned about being an adventurer...is there's treasure all over the place...and no reason not to take it with you."
He wanders over to the liquid flowing metal. He first dips one of his javelin's tips into the metal and pulls it out to see what happens. If the weapon doesn't disintegrate, he asks to see if the tip of his weapon is now magical and waits a bit to see if the liquid solidifies are remains just a liquid. He also uses his mage hand to scoop up two vials of the liquid into the vials from his two healing potions he drank recently. He digs around on the ground for the cork and stick it in. He shakes it about to get the rest off the edge of the bottle, then wraps them both in a shirt and puts them in his bag.
Depending on how the experiment with his javelin goes, he may decide to coat his rapier in the stuff.
He then wanders over to the throne and searches it. "Someone give me a hand here?"
The javelin burst into fire. It was not completely destroyed but Ramious would not want to use it anymore - the thing was seriously damaged. Corks would be a problem, but the wax from the cracked pot (or not yet broken pot) seemed as a solution. No one knows how the magic will behave later but for now Ramious had two vials of silvery liquid fire.
"Yeah. Maybe." Alyssa would respond quietly. They should be able to make it out. That she truthfully never doubted. It was just a matter of at what cost...
At Leon's announcement, Alyssa would look up from the mask and the feathers she was admiring. When he added his thought at the end, she'd reach out to offer it to the Githyanki with a soft smile. "Would you like it?"
What throne? There are four particularly distinct objects: the coffin (Alyssa opened it up and got some items out of it) and three pyramids (Bernard opened pyramid number one, found some non-magical treasure). Two more pyramids to go.
Let's assume it was the pyramid number two. After experiments with the liquid, Ramious turned his attention to the pyramids, suspecting - unsurprisingly after what he just experienced - a trap, even though the first one proved to be safe. Turned out, that one pyramid was not (safe). The trap was hidden, quite cleverly but he managed to deduce the mechanism behind it. Several nozzles were hidden among the pyramid texture and decorations, obviously connected to the catch - once pressed, it would release whatever was hidden in the nozzles.
More than that - while peering inside he noticed a thin layer of stucco a bit detached in one place. Most likely a second trap, waiting to be sprung if the lid is open.
(After careful consideration, Leon identified the mask as a hat of disguise. The liquid metal in the "rivers" was more puzzling and needed some time to study)
Btw, while pushing, pulling and fighting different objects, you are all realized, that you feel weaker, as if permanently tired. So much so, that every physical effort requires twice as much energy.
To shake it off, EVERYONE DC 15 Con saving throw or get disadvantage on Strength and Dexterity ability checks and saving throws
As the others are checking the structures, Leon casts identify on the mask, and will do so on the liquid in the streams as well, but each casting will take ten minutes as he does it as a ritual.
Alyssa was about to do so before offering it. She’d leave the mask with Leon for him to complete the identification. The elf would move to the doorway and quietly wait for the others to finish their tasks. She’d update some notes.
This post has potentially manipulated dice roll results.
Bernard con save 12
Bernard moved himself about and finished collected the items from the pyramid he opened and the items that Alyssa left in the sarcophagus. Afterwhich he will make his way over to the last pyramid and check it out before attempting to open. If all seems okay he will if not he will relay the info and try to disarm the trap.
(Oh, woops, just, the image from post #1737 shows what looks to be clearly a throne on the left side...but...that's fine...no throne!)
Ramious steps away from the pyramid, telling the group it's trapped. He tries to use his Mage Hand to open it. But, if it's jammed or requires more force, he'll use a javelin and throw it at the top of the pyramid to try and break it off from a short distance. Attack: 10 Damage: 10
No luck - Mage Hand once again proved to be too weak to press the catch (even if Ramious wanted to spring the trap) and throwing a javelin at the heavy pressed and locked inside pyramid shaped "chest" proved only one thing - they are made of some metal and are not easy to break.
Ramious goes and fetches his javelin. "Well...." he glances at Alyssa, Bugs, and Leon, "....do we really care to get in this one? It's trapped. That must mean the best stuff is inside it, right? Ha. Not." He walks away and begins checking what's inside the other vases by the statues.

"Well that didn't work..." Bernard muttered to himself. He then moved up to the top of the pyramid and applied more than 5 lbs of pressure to it.

"Let us find out what it actually does first." Leon suggests. he would 'identify' the mask.
