NT's Mummy's Mask: The Half Dead City

[SwordChucks]

Vic gives Boru a shrug having no good response to the truth.

She slides her quarterstaff into a strap on her pack to free up the hand not holding the torch, and gives Anai a nod.

[NikolaTesla]

Nothing accosts you as you carefully proceed down the tunnel and arrive at the door. Anai reaches out to open it, then almost abashedly pulls it back as she inspects it carefully first, then opens it.

A sarcophagus covered in gold leaf rests on a raised stone platform in the center of the 15ft wide and 20ft deep chamber. The casket’s cover is carved the likeness of an adult man with his arms crossed over his chest, and covered in thick coat of dust. Two ornate chests sit beyond the dais in the northeast and southeast corners, and between them stand two large funerary urns.

[digiman619]

Boru turned to Anai "Not to be rude, but get your research here over with; the sooner that I'm out of this tomb, the better." He then brings his glaive up and keeps watch for, if this day has been any indication, the next disaster to befall them.

Assume that I've set up a patrol and continue to do so as the girls do their stuff. Not that'll do much good, but here's his Perception check FWIW.

For once, Anai found herself lost for words. She had little doubt that this was in fact the true burial chamber. She took one hesitant step forward, reaching out but shying away from touching the sarcophagus. She opted for, instead, circling around the sarcophagus to examine the chests and urns behind it. Wow...

Ilepy smiles and sighs slightly, looking at the sarcophagus she feels a sense of pride and just nods in agreement. She was looking forward to a good night's rest after Anai did what she needed too.

[SwordChucks]

Victoria helps Anai search the area and catalog its contents.
"The end is in sight but I still feel uneasy. We should finish up here quickly."

Boru and Ilepy stand watch as Anai and Victoria examine the chests and other contents of the room. Just as you start to feel like you can finally relax, there’s a silver flash as what appears to be a solid metal cobra lunges out from behind the sarcophagus, it’s eyes leaving a red afterglow in your vision. Boru barely has time to yell “watch out!” before it’s on him.

Illepy seeing the flash of silver lunge at Boru, immediately moved so that she was standing on sarcophagus` alter. As she stood on the top of it she reaches deep within her and expends an part of her arcane pool to give her an advantage over the snake before she swings her khopesh down at the creature.

As the snake lunged, Anai cursed. She dashed around the sarcophagus and rushing past Vic, diving at the snake. Just like the dolls! Her hands grabbed for the thing's writhing body, hoping to hold it still.

Victoria's chantings quickly seal up the large bite marks in Boru's abdomen, while Ilepy hurdles the sarcophagus (which mercifully does not animate) to bring his khopesh slamming into into it's neck, causing it to jerk violently to the left but appearing to do only superficial damage. As it turns to come after Ilepy, Anai scoops it up from behind by the tail, restraining it's movement but not before it whirl's around and bites her on the arm (see discord). Even after Anai get's a hold of it's neck it doesn't stop trying to inject more poison into her:

Anai cried out as the snake bite into her, the throbbing pain as the venom worked its way through her system. Sohn einer Hurenschlange! she muttered in orcish. She deftly grabbed the flailing body, holding it to the ground, pinning it. Vic! Grab the rope from my pack before it slips free!

After several tense moments of Anai sitting on the Iron Cobra, the collective beat down from the other 3 finally wears it down and it's head splits open, sending joints and shards scattering on the floor. Once again, the tomb is silent, and with the last guardian defeated, before you is the sarcophagus of Ahkentepi and some of his most important grave goods immediately around him.

Feel free to state here or in discord what you open and I'll tell you what you get.

[MesiDoomstalker]

After dispating the snake, Anai and the group gathers the final treasures from the burial chamber. Anai and Boru begin gathering the various treasures at the entrance pit as Vic and Illepy work on the broken hidden door. As a cry for help rings out, Anai rushes back to where she left her companions.

Boru hears the same scream and follows, running in stride with Anai to save their compatriots.

Though Anai's arrow missed, Boru and Ilepy make short work of one of the beetles, splattering glowing goo all over the rubble colored floor, giving it the appearance you might expect if you looked at some marbles while on a drug trip.

Meanwhile, the other beetle bursts out of the wall at Boru's left, biting and gnawing at him:

Vic takes a depressingly bad shot at the emerging bug and nearly hits Boru.

[NikolaTesla]

The bugs were no match for the the exhausted/exasperated explorers, and Victoria got a few more "butts" to add to her collection. Anai finished up her map in the hallway, brightening as she realized that in all likelihood there were no more dangers in the tomb. The group returned to the tapestry room, slowly relaxing. No one was quite sure how to get everything out of the tomb, but elected to at least move the stuff from the chariot room to the rest of the grave goods at the bottom of the pit. It was during the moving that you realized that while it would be arduous work and would probably take a few trips to get the bulkier things like the suit of armor, you could just strap most of it to yourselves and carry it out with you as you climbed back up the rope. With some help from Anai to get everyone high enough that they could brace against the walls of the chute, you begin the climb.

It takes two trips and your arms are aching after the second, but you all manage to get the important stuff out. Anai makes a third trip for the body. Laden with crates and treasure, you step out of the pit room towards the glorious sunlight. You make it about 2 steps before Anai shouts "Scorpion!" as there, nestled in the nice, cool, shady corner, rests a Labrador sized scorpion.

Initiative rolled in discord, will edit this post with order when Kagari rolls.

Boru smashes the scorpion across the back, leaving an oozing gash in it's carapace. Ilepy takes advantage of the opening and jumps through the other to bring his sword down on the arthropod, but it slices harmlessly into the sand. Then angered scorpion leaps at Ilepy to retaliate!
