A loud echo sounds through the chambers, a second time, a third and then the lit is split into 4 small parts. One by one You push the individual pieces of of.

Inside the sarcophagus is the withered corpse of an elf in tattered robes. As the sarcophagus is opened, the rush of air disturbs the cadaver’s robes, which have mostly crumbled to dust. The sarcophagus also contains the following items:

• An unstrung bow
• Six silvered arrowheads
• A wooden cup with a winged fish etched into the side

Hifu points out the bow and silvered arrows.  "I wonder what the cup indicates?  Perhaps we should look for anything magical...."

Gilgin holds his amulet over the items, swirling it around as he mutters a prayer for ten minutes. (Casts detect magic as a ritual)

The light source above you is magical as well as the bow. Anything else in this room seams normal.

Hifu is very interested in the bow, but asks if anyone else is interested.  "This would do a heck of a lot better than a dart, even better than a javelin."   He glances up at the light from above, thinking it was merely coming from an opening.  Is there another source?  

Roll arcana or religion check if you are proficient.

Hifu examines the situation, the bow, the arrows, and thinks about it -

Hifu can’t figure it out so he picks up the bow to see if he can feel what it does...

James nods at Gilgin's explanation of what is and isn't magic.

"We should take the cup, just in case it ends up being worth anything. I'll hold on to it, unless anyone else wants to."

At Hifu's comment about the bow, James remarks,

"Go for it Hifu, bows aren't really my thing, see if it could be useful."

James considers for a moment,

"So we have that odd little alcove between these two rooms and the sarcophagus outside, plus anything valuable we want to remove from the door's or ceiling's."

James points up at the light from above.

"Do we want to get the valuables out with our tools, or at least try to..."

James looks at the broken sarcophagus lid that almost defeated them.

"...and then head outside, to check the sarcophagus out there? That's the one you detected something evil in, right Gilgin? Maybe we leave that one alone?"

Hifu, you would need to spend some time to study the bow and experiment with it to figure out what it does, unless you can cast a spell to do it instantly. It is well crafted made from wood and black crystal and you will need a bowstring.

Hifu stores the bow, for stringing later, and takes the arrowheads.  “I think we should take the moose head and head back to Lonelywood now.  What do you think?  Should we try to open the one outside?”.  Hifu hands the two vials from the other sarcophagus to Gilgin.  “Have a look at these, perhaps you can identify them and use them.”

Gilgin looks over the vials. “Kravek, would ye mind getting that light up there? It’s got some magic coming from it. I’ll need a pearl to identify the vials properly, but let’s see if I can sense any magic from them......” 

Kravek nods to Gilgin then puts down his shield for a moment to reach up. He carefully touches it with a single finger in case it hurts him. If it does not he will try and see if he can grab anything of the light to move it down. 

Lets see what this is he says as he fiddles with it.

If he can manage to get it down he will hand it to Gilgin.

Kravek carefully climbs on the top of the cracked open sarcophagus and gently touches the crystal the light originates from. It is cold, so with dagger and hammer he skillfully breaks it out of the surounding rock without damaging it.

It isthe sice of a half melon, a crystal covered with a silvery metal except on the faceted side the light emits from. 

You want to check out the last sarcophagus or return to Lonlywood?

Gilgin inspects the gem. ”Now this is a true beauty! Cannae believe it was in the hands of elves. Let’s crack that last sarcophagus and head back, I got a feeling something nasty will be in the other one, so get ready!, 

Presuming everybody follows him there, he makes his way to the sarcophagus, smashing his hammer down on it.

Hifu readies his Warhammer, hearing the thunderous crack of Gilgin's hammer, waiting to see what happens.  

As the group assembles around the sarcophagus, James asks.

"If there was a magical light crystal in the roof of that room, do you think the other room is the same?"

As Gilgin cracks his hammer down on the lid of the sarcophagus, James readies his greatsword.

"We should check before we leave, could be worth a bit."

Gilgin perfectly hits the lid of the sarcophagus with a loud bang. Blue sparks are flying, but it is actually the handle of your hammer that gives in. When you look at the spot you hit you notice that despite of all that force, you couldn‘t even manage a tiny dent.

”Drat! Drat! And double Drat!” Gilgin yowls, as he desperately casts mending over his hammer. “Must be protected by some powerful magic. Anyone else want to give it a go, or should we grab the other gem and get moving?”
