A loud rumbling begins to fill the room, tremors shaking the ground. On the northern wall, behind the spot where the cage had been, a section of the stone wall moves to reveal a kind of sliding door that opens. From your positions, you all can see that there are some stone Sarcophagus' in this room, but your line of sight is somewhat limited.)
If you all want to go into the room please go ahead and give me Perception checks.
DM's note: Yay! You figured it out... I think. Either way, good job. :)

Carxus wants to be careful, so he listens hard to any sounds that might be coming from this hidden room. He does not want to enter the room until after he checks it out from outside.

"I can not Gerard, I don't really have the ability to sense for that.Oh!" Lena lets a little happy sound.
"Everyone I have this new ability I've been wanting to try. I spent plenty of hours studying last night and-well I think its just better if I showed you." Lena steps away from the group and begins concentrating, nothing happens at first,but then her body starts changing. Her hands turn into paws, large pointed ears sprout from the top of her head, and hair begins to grow from her body. After the transformation is complete, standing there instead of Lena is a Wolf. It lets out a happy bark before pushing past the group to begin smelling the entrance. Its ear perk up, listening for anything inside the room.
OOC: Trying Lena's new wild shape ability to be a wolf, a common enough animal. Using her new keen hearing and smell to attempt to find anything.

I’ll take sec to concentrate in the first chamber and cast my Armor of Shadows invocation causing scattered embers to appear swirling around me briefly, settling into a shifting sort of shadow. (AC 15 for the next 8hrs)
(In her wolf form, Lena smells stale, uncirculated air, as well as the kind of smells you would expect in a tomb that is several hundred years old: mustiness, dirt, and the slightest hint of the products that would have been used when preparing the corpses. You hear nothing out of the ordinary. You angle yourself to see thru the door a little better, and you see 6 stone tombs, 3 on each side, laying horizontally, as well as 1 larger, more ornate Sarcophagus laying vertically against the north wall. The room is about 30x50 feet, so not really big, considering all that is in there.)

Carxus tries to listen outside the tomb, but hears nothing.
(Gerard stands at the ready with his rapier drawn.)
Lena turns to Gerard and barks. Before letting her tongue loll out her mouth, she wags her tail happily, trying to give the signal that she thinks the room is good.
(Nikta leads the way and goes right for the main Sarcophagus. It's about 7 feet tall and 3 feet wide. The outside of it seems to have a light etching that looks somewhat like Sextus Varius.)
Spoiler for Nikta:
You press your fingers to the edge of the opening, listening intently. You are fairly certain that the lid is rigged somehow and decide to not open it. At the bottom, near the foot of the tomb, where nobody would really think to look, you see the following:
462315
(The rest of you, including Lena the Wolf, stand in the middle, watching Nikta.)
This post has potentially manipulated dice roll results.
"I'm relatively certain this particular one is trapped," I say of the more elaborate vertical coffin, "though there is an inscription here - 462315 - that seems relevant. Any ideas? Maybe opening or interacting with the other six coffins in that order?"
With that thought escaping my head, I'll turn to my left and look over the closest of the horizontal ones...
(Nikta looks over the coffin directly to his left. It's made of dark gray material, maybe granite, and is smaller than the other ones, like it was made for a halfling, perhaps?)
Spoiler for Nikta:
(On the ground near the foot of the casket, you see a small stone with the number '3' on it. It looks almost like you could press it down, like a button.)

Lena will stand by letting her friends solve the puzzle while she keeps an ear out for anything that might try to sneak up on them. She can't really do much with paws.
You take a quick look at all of the caskets. They're made of stone.
Spoiler for Carxus:
(You choose to look at the stone coffin across the one Nikta looked at. On the ground near the foot of the casket, you see a small stone with the number '4' on it. It looks almost like you could press it down, like a button. Now that you know where to look, you quickly find the same numbers for the rest of the coffins. They seem to go as follows
Sextus
3 4
2 5
1 6
Spoiler for Lena:
You stand guard, making sure nothing sneaks up behind you all. Everything seems clear.

I'll cautiously enter, and take a gander at the vertical sarcophagus at the far end of the room...
