"You are right, we need some rest. But should we have a short rest out of this doomed room? What about we go the nice office of the creature we met - Withers" says Kurma. 

Then contemplating on his failure to keep Artus alive, he adds "Dragonbait, would you be fine if we place him in this sarcophagus, I will cast a spell that will block anybody who wants to use his body for necromancy" (i.e gentle repose)

While giving away a smell of wood smoke, the silent Saurial takes his lost friend's corpse and places it on the sarcophagus. He then steps back, and taking out the holy sword, kneels before the resting place of Artus Cimber. The sword lits up as bright as never before.

Later, Dragonbait nods to Kurma. He is ready to move forward.

Kurma nods as well as a response and starts casting his warding ritual spell Gentle Repose. The divine power of Oghma finds its way inside the doomed maze and covers Artus's body with a warm light. With the help of Dragon bait, he then places back the lid of the sarcophagus.
Closing his eyes, Kurma says one last time goodbye to his companion. "Farewell my friend, we will pursue the quest. We will avenge you."

Kurma then gets ready, dons his shield on his left arm and signals that he is also ready to move to the undead office for a rest.

Moving to the other room Isabella keeps quite just under the pressure of the recent events. She rest gaining 25hp once’s she done “Well Kurma you wanted to take the stairs so lead the way.” 

Short rest (5 hit dice): 14 + 10 + 3 + 7

Kurma will wait until all the party has recover some health and will start to go up the spiral staircase, invisible and looking for traps (perception 12 )

A closed door is meant to give access to the third level, using the staircase.

Kurma notices no trap on the door, but he does hear a metallic noise coming from just behind the door... and a smell of rotten flesh.

Kurma signs the team to stop and whispers to them what he heard. 

Feeling better after a rest, Irommek considers that when (maybe that's an if) he makes it out of this dungeon, he's going to be knock-down drunk for several days raising a toast to each of the fallen since he left Port Nyanzaru.  That thought inflicts a deeper, metal exhaustion and a moment of contemplation that is broken with the smell of something awful.  Hearing Kurma's disembodied voice from ahead, he readies his hammer and does his best to lighten his footsteps and tiptoe with a large warhammer in his fist.  

“Hmph, your not the boss of me Kurma, I go where I please!” Isabella will make a quick perception check before opening the door.

Perception: 10

"Very well..." Kurma whispers... 

Kurma leaves some space for Isabella to open the door and, still invisible, he readies a spell (Sacred Flame, DC15 DEX or 17 radiant)

This room is dark and dusty. A hulking figure wearing a bucket helm stands to the west, with one hand on an iron lever set into the wall. The south wall is sloped and has a large rectangular window five feet wide by seven feet high. The window looks into a hallway, through a rectangular hole in the hallway floor, and farther down into a well-lit room shaped like a cylinder tipped on its side.

Brunella knows that moments matter, and one cannot allow this tomb any action. Too many of her friends and companions have been lost. She must act, and swiftly. Flying into her now famillar rage, she runs to take point and attack the awful guardian, taking its attention from her companions.

Kurma releases once more the fury of his God with flames (Sacred Flame, DEX DC15 or 11 radiant damage)

With an audial “Shit” Isabella will use her action to swing her Hex Axe twice.
