Before they close themselves in, Gilgin gathers everybody behind the sarcophagus. “By Dumathoins hammer, go back to the forge from which you came, only in death can you be reforged.” He shouts in dwarvish as he holds forth his amulet (channel divinity - turn undead.)
Once whatever it is leaves the room he will run over to the door and close it, since it seemed to react to his magic in particular.
Settling down, Gilgin takes first watch, chewing on moose as he watches the stone slab of a door, he starts to feel the fatigue of the past few days set in. 19
Hifu gathers behind the sarcophagus, watching his Warhammer, looking for it to glow. His eyelids grow heavy. He goes into a deep meditation, watching his Warhammer, and drifts... to sleep. "Zrrzzzz. Wake me. up when it is my watch. Will need a torch to watch, you nightcrawlers."

You get comfortable in the little hideout and rest for the night.
You don‘t have a clock and you lack a view of the sky in there, so you simply rest until James wakes up. As far as you can tell there are no surprises and you all got a long rest. (James recovers a lvl of exhaustion, at 1st lvl now)
When you reopen the door and look outside, you notice that it is much colder then yesterday. Snow blew into the tomb and the body of the moose is frozen stiff. You see the twilight of the midday outside and a fresh layer of snow covers the moon dial and the other structures outside.
Nyx says, "So, are we making our way back or are we doing a bit of graverobbing beforehand? It seems we are sure there's something undead in this sarcophagus. Does anyone know if elves bury their dead with treasure? Especially in a tomb as nice as this one?"
"I fear any further encounters with g-ghosts or. such, especially with James not back to his usual self. I think we should take this head back to Lonelywood, but remember this spot and return here, after we are prepared, perhaps sometime later when we are a little stronger. What do you think?" Hifu looks over the sarcophagus and examines his Warhammer, to see if he can locate where it shines the brightest.

Gilgin bursts out laughing, “Aww come on Hifu, you were ready to smash this whole place to bits last night.” Now that we’re rested you want to run home. Let this Druid come back to find her whole house demolished, serve her right for messing with my friend and killing Boga!” He swings his hammer at the air testing its wait. ”We got three hammers, let’s get smashing.”
Hifu, You don‘t see any variation in the glow of the hammer. As far as you can tell it only reacts if an undead is around, but doesn‘t indicate any direction.
Jameswakes slowly, stretching his arms and legs before sitting up.
"Well that feels better, I mean not completely back to normal, but I only feel like I've had a bad nights sleep and not like I've almost died a few times over."
Jameslooks over at Gilginat this.
"Thanks again Gilgin, I owe you big time."
As the groups discussion of robbing and/or smashing the place up, Jamessmiles.
"I'm all for a little revenge at this point, I have a pick and there is a lot of stone around here."
Just going to go with, Jamesdidn't hear Hifuexplain why his hammer glows, last night. If he had, he would have fought to convince everyone that the group should NOT have rested at the crypt.
Jameswatches Hifuwalk around the room with his glowing hammer.
"What are you doing Hifu? Any idea why its glowing?"
"There is some sort of an undead creature nearby. In the sarcophagus likely." He turns to Gilgin, "Ok, Mr. Big Bad Ass, let's swing our hammers. I just feel that if that druid comes in here all rested up, maybe after we have been softened up by some undead creature, it could end poorly. Or worse yet, some ghost could appear..." You see Hifu shiver slightly at saying that. "He still haunts my dreams...."

“Haha I guess my Ass is quite big, and bad too...” Gilgin chuckles at Hifu, “This was your idea, If you don’t want to that’s fine. But I wouldn’t be scared of ghosts any more, I feel more of the warmth of Dumathoins forge since I’ve been with you. You lot are good for me I think... good for my faith. Any that have passed through his forge will melt before me now.”
Hifu grins at Gilgin and says "Ok. That's my new nickname for you. Bad Ass. C'mon, let's break some sarcophagi and find out what this little druid has been sitting on here. Now that I know I have a Bad Ass supporting me." Hifu starts to try to open the sarcophagus, if he can't he will start swinging at it with his hammer.

Nyx backs out of the room into the hallway, keeping a line of sight on the sarcophagus, but also looking out for anything else happening in the "foyer" area.
Do you want to do anything else or take a long rest in the chamber?
If you are ready for the long rest, three of you roll me perception checks please ( at disadvantage if you lack darkvision)
Once the food has been prepared and the fire put out, James heads to the chamber with Nyx, waiting for the others to finish what they are doing.
"That meat was really nice Nyx, thanks for cooking it for us, you're really good at it."
James sits down against the far wall to wait, but is soon drifting off to sleep again.
James is definitely not the one you want giving watch in his current state, so I shell leave the rolls to the rest of you :P

You see nothing happen.
Hifu gathers behind the sarcophagus, watching his Warhammer, looking for it to glow. His eyelids grow heavy. He goes into a deep meditation, watching his Warhammer, and drifts... to sleep. "Zrrzzzz. Wake me. up when it is my watch. Will need a torch to watch, you nightcrawlers."

If the hammer is in your belt nothing happens. If it is in your hand, it will glow. (One of the conditions is that you need to wield it.)
Hifu holds the Warhammer in his hand, a comfort in this creepy place. He keeps an eye on the glowing.

"What!?!"
James gives Hifu a disbelieving look,
"You let us sleep in the room with a know undead presence?!?!?"
James turns back to Gilgin,
"Did you know this? Wait..you did something, didn't you, last night?"
James rubs his temples.
"Note to self, don't almost die, I need to keep my wits about me."
James looks around the room.
"So if we are going to wreck the place and collect any valuables, maybe we avoid the sarcophagus."
James gets his pickaxe out and looks around the room for any possible valuables. that might be recoverable.
Perception check to find/notice any/all valuables: 13 (disadvantage from exhaustion level 1)
