Sadden with the passing of Bag of Nails she offers a silent prayer, her skin feels like fire and her sword trembles. "My skins feels tight excuse me as I shed" Isabella sheds her human skin one last time before returning to her normal yuan ti form. Her eyes changed into a grayish haze as if blind he sword begins to also glow in a purplish hue. "Ah that feels alot better. Oh it looks like my sword has done something to me again. Kurma is there anything else we should do in this room?"
"I would like to give Bag of Nail a place rest"said Kurma nodding towards the sarcophagus. "Would you give me a hand and place him in there, away from what lurks in the shadow of this Tomb ?". As he speaks, Kurma grabs gently the two ankles of the cat.
"After this, I think we could have all a rest here, my Orb of time is telling me it is evening in the outside world. A good night rest will be necessary before continuing our exploration."
Later during the rest, Kurma explains: "From my map, it seems we have explored all the fourth level. There are one door on the first and the second level we did not open. And all the third level is to explore. After that, I guess it would be through the hole where the gargoyles were..."
Isabella will help Kurma, grabbing Bags of Nails and placing him into the tomb. “Well let me take the lead after our rest. I feel my eyes can catch anything before it catches us now.” She mentions as eyes blink her eyes.
Isabella will lead the group after the long rest, this time Looking for any traps or secret entrances. As they make there way to the 2nd floor.

"This... is weird. Who are you? Are you going to be staying with me? How can we communicate? Are you inside the robe?"
When Gertrude finishes her internal dialogue, she realises the somber mood the group is in. She joins the others in putting Bag of Nails to rest in the tomb, and lowers her head for a minute of silence for their crazy but well liked companion.
When the others discuss which floor to explore next, Gertrude feels an uneasiness, and is not sure which direction they should go.
Brunella closes her eyes in solemn memory of Bag of Nails. She is not one for speeches, but lays a calloused hand on the wizened corpse of the Tabaxi, remembering him as a fearless warrior.
She then settles in for a long rest, thinking about what has happened since they have entered the tomb.

Kurma is there anything else we should do in this room?"
Kurma gets himself ready for a long-deserved rest, preparing his spells and praying Oghma to give him strengh and wisdom. After a while, he asking Isabella: "So, are you drawing your power from your sword? What a interresting relation, how is this working ?"
After the rest, Kurma is casting his ritual Gentle Repose on Irommek's arm. "This should do it for another 10 days. We will repair this my friend"
“I found it while on my way to this place. It has some magical properties but I believe it was once wield by a powerful yuan ti. Maybe his soul give me it’s strength or it’s actually cursed; who knows to be honest.” Isabella shrugs
“It has saved me for sure but it has also put me in a bad situation. That crown, I need it to remove the effects of the sword. At least that’s what the yuan ti tell me."
After so much suffering and grief, the party finally gets a long-overdue rest. The tomb remains silent and vigilant as in waiting.
Patiently...
The day after, after breakfast and preparing the last adventuring bits, Isabella scout ahead on the second floor.
From the staircase, on the south wall, three oval holes are carved into a nine-foot-wide, nine-foot-high stone door at human head height. As you approach, three humanoid heads stick out of the holes, each covered in putrid flesh and gnashing on an iron bit bolted to a chain bridle.
Zombies aside, to the east wall Isabella spots a secret door.
"There's a door here, give me a second..." Isabella takes a few seconds as her eyes begin to glaze over again. Isabella will use her ghostly gaze and concentrate on it. She will look past its solid form and see whats pass the two areas.

Beyond the southern wall (and the zombies), six glass cauldrons brimming with humanoid bones line the walls of what it seems to be yet another tomb, at the centre of which stands an ancient chariot bearing a bronze sarcophagus with treasure strewn atop it. Paintings on the chariot's body show a tall bird with a long, sharp beak.
Behind the secret door, water fi lls a carved stone font.
"Well here, with the zombie heads there seems to be another tomb with treasure, and at the far end there's another room with a water carved stone front. I suggest that we leave the treasure room alone for now and check out that other room."
Isabella will go to the secret door and try to get open.
