Gameplay

There are no markings or inscriptions on or around the stone doorway.

It is clear to Thomas that given the size of the stone it would be impossible to move with bare hands, even if you teamed up. There are unsurprisingly no mechanisms to open it either.

As Clara is searching among the treasures, she cuts her hand on something, drawing blood (-1hp)

Eugen takes his time and inspects the stone inch by inch. This will take some time...

What would everyone else like to do while Eugen does his work.

Thomas grabs the candle and leads the way toward the northern room, stepping over the plaster that was stripped away by whoever got here before you to reveal the annex.

The room is modestly filled with religious artifacts, the walls lined with 3 inch high clay cones, that Robert recognises as funerary cones. On the northern and southern walls are two large murals and on the eastern wall is a shrine on which stands an inverted 5 foot tall golden ankh. Hundreds of golden tendrils reach out from the symbol that appear to be moving as the candlelight flickers over them, causing an unsettling sight.

A large mat lies at the shrine's base, on which is sprawled a human skeleton dressed in decaying tatters. Beside the corpse are a satchel and a small sack.

Robert realises the symbol normally represents life but the fact that it upside is a perversion of that idea. Add to that the reaching tentacles speak of willful desecration and malign intent.

The skeleton does not appear to be a mummy, certainly someone more recent. The ribs are crushed and the skull is fractured, one or likely both injuries led to the individual's death.
