"Ow, ow, ow, fragalastic OW!" Fianna seems a bit adamant about this point. Still, she manages to crawl over to the side of the sarcophagus and try to peek down the stairs and see what may be so precious as to deserve that trap. (And she thinks momentarily that she should feel bad about the fleeting life of her beloved mastiff... But truth be told, they hadn't had long to get attached and... "Meh")
Fianna, avoiding the raised floor panels looks into the sarcophagus, and sees stairs leading down. It appears to descend 40 feet before ending in what looks like a room, but because of the angle all she can see is the floor just near the stairs.

"The bugger returned only to trap the path," stated Mirica the obvious, adding equally fresh idea: "I think we need a break before going down, even if all demons are waiting us there. Especially if they do."
If everyone agrees to take a short rest - she is using five dice (666810)
How rude, thinks Chen as he picks himself up off the floor and wraps his legs to stop the bleeding. Is this the work of the evil undead wizard, or is this the typical hospitality of the elves? Then to the others he suggests: Perhaps I should go down first, in case there are any more of these traps.

“A short rest does sound like the most reasonable compromise between forging ahead and fleeing back to safety...” Fianna says, a bit distractedly as she’s first pulling out the third, and last, furry visitor for the day from her Bag of Tricks. 6 - The Mastiff Returns!! Fianna also takes a short walk around the sarcophagus, the room, and the rest of the area she can in the space of a minute. She stares straight down at the floor, only sparing the briefest of glances at the walls unless something catches her attention.
((Ghostly GazeXGtE56
Once per short rest, as an action, you gain the ability to see through solid objects (with darkvision) to a range of 30 ft for 1 minute.))
While taking the short rest (hopefully) she tells the others what she sees, if anything... ((and uses 8 hit dice to regain 32 HP)) The mastiff is again obstructed to stand guard, the rat to investigate...
“Of course, of course,” Fianna answers distractedly and with a dismissive wave of her hand while she’s pacing around the room looking through the floor.
Once the Ghostly Gaze is done Fianna will plop down, share anything she may have seen, then start pulling out the books. She’ll pull them out of her bag one at a time, read the title aloud, then pass the books around to any who wish to peek at them.
((I’ll reserve the right for her to say “I’d like to examine this one myself” or such, based on title and quick look.., but I expect it’ll be a full and open sharing.))
(Please refrain from adding HP's yet, or remove them if you've added them, since it's unlikely you will be able to sit here undisturbed for a full hour.)
Fianna pulls another dog out of the bag. Though she ensures it and the rat stay clear of the two floor panels that trigger the spiked whip trap. Toc bends down and draws chalk around the floor panels that trigger it, so it's easier to see.
Then Fianna closes her eyes, reaching out for the Fey...letting her consciousness straddle the two realities. She opens her eyes....the solid world around her ghostly and transparent. She looks around. She can see through the solid walls of the tomb, right through to the statue room over there which is only 25 feet through solid rock. She glances around, seeing nothing of particular interest around the walls. Unfortunately the stairs go down 40 feet, and at an angle, so that the room below is actually under solid rock, not this room. The stairs go down 40 feet, so she can just see the edges. Perhaps if she climbs onto the stairs and goes down a few feet she might be able to see more.

“It’s too far, can’t quite see,” Fianna says, walking around staring at the floor. “To the next room, everyone! Hurry, just in case there’s another trap!”
She spends precious seconds trying to shoo everyone far away from the sarcophagus, but then will carefully tread down the steps, doing her best to avoid the marked traps and trying to use her ghostly sight to identify any others. She’s nervous and worried, and know the sight will last long though... so she hurries to try to get any glimpse she can...
Mirica with understandable obedience (after causing untimely death of the dog and injures to everyone) moved to a pointed direction. Better safe than sorry.
((That Fianna wouldn’t see anything? Or that she would stupidly take the bait and go wandering down to try anyway? ‘Cause really, both were totally predictable.))
The valiant group of adventurers is shoo'd out of the sarcophagus room back into the soot blackened library. They bravely continue to ignore Sebastion's queries into their well being as they watch Fianna step over the edge of the stone coffin and take a few tentative steps down the stairway.
Fianna takes four or five steps and then suddenly her view into the next room is clear as the rest of the solid stone blocking her view dissolves out of her way.
The stairs open up into a large room with another sarcophagus against the north wall, a table covered in arcane supplies on the eastern wall, and a large symbol of a skull wearing a crown inscribed in the center of the floor. The table seems to also have several books, some scrolls, and a few maps of Cormanthyr and the Moonsea. However, is it the creatures that is in the room that are more interesting to Fianna.
Crouched against the left and right wall are three of the bug demon creatures. One looks badly injured but two others look to have been uninvolved in your battle earlier. They stare intently at the stairs, their antennae twitching. In front of the table stands an undead creature in full plate armor. The creature holds a glaive in it's hands and stands at the ready, watching the bottom of the stairs. Behind the table to one side, is another undead. What was once a human man, is now an undead creature wearing the long tattered robes of a Netherese archmage. The dried rotted flesh on it's face stretches taughtly across its bones. It's empty eye sockets glare towards the bottom of the stairs. In its hand it holds a dull grey metal rod.

Stealth: 5
((Ok, before deciding what she does next, a little clarification on the set up.. Do the stairs open directly up to this Room of Ill Intent? Or do they go down to a wall that Fianna is seeing through with a door or secret door you go through?))
Fianna holds her position, and indeed her breath. She takes in all of the details of the room that she can and frantically tries to decide on what to do next. Did they see me? Hear me? Just how crazy am I to be creeping down here alone? She thinks to herself.
With a thought, Fianna directs FinFin to uncurl from around her neck and fly (as stealthily as possible - 21 ) back up the stairs and to Mirica. Finfin is to perch upon her shoulder and whisper to her everything that Fianna has seen. "I'm going to try to sneak back upstairs," Fianna will whisper through FinFin. "I'm far too fragile to be the first through that particular door... But if they make a move towards me before I get back up.... Well, you'll hear it."
And with that, Fianna will indeed slowly try sneaking back up the steps, keeping an eye on the enemies below at all times. At the first sign that they are coming for her, she will release a [spell]Fireball[spell] - But only if they come for her.
