Gameplay

As the light recedes as the candles go with the men, Clara opens the chest. As priceless as the chest itself may be, it holds nothing but a few loose beads.

Despite his concerns, Thomas doesn't spot anything untoward.

One at a time you crawl through the paster wall and indeed find it filled to the brim with stacks of treasures that almost reach the ceiling; a couch, chairs, tables, stone tablets, statuettes, musical instruments, tapestries, vases, sealed jars, bowls, ostrich-feather fans and more chests. a chariot made of gold stands in the northwest corner of the room along with a row boat.

To the east, a huge stone slab blocks an archway to what is probably another chamber. On either side of the slab, two large statues seem to stand guard. Across the room to the north, an open archway leads to yet another room. It seems a plaster wall also once sealed that room, but has been completely demolished and bits of it lie scattered on the floor around the entrance.

Thomas notices that some of the items have been broken, as if someone had moved through here quickly with little regard to their surroundings.

He steps through to the annex with one of the candles (he has the first candle, which is now about halfway burnt down)

Looking closer at the sealed doorway, Eugen is somewhat surprised his speculations were not exactly accurate. The statues are in fact mummified men, impaled on long spears to hold them upright. As if that wasn't gruesome enough, their heads have been replaced, one with a jackal, the other with that of a crocodile.

Both guards are holding weapons, the crocodile head holds a bronze Egyptian battle-axe and the jackal-headed man holds a sickle-like sword, a khopesh.
