GM: Faoil is standing behind Denther - if she takes the torch she won't be able to use her greatsword. Bernard is holding the other torch.
Alyx: "I'll take the torch if you like, Denther."
(Denther can carry the torch & still fight ok, but wouldn't get the AC bonus for his buckler while holding it).
You creep cautiously closer.
In the torchlight it's clear that the gleam on the chamber floor is bones - 4 human skeletons clad in tattered remnants of cloth lie scattered between the entrance archway of the tomb and a bulky stone sarcophagus about 4' high and wide, 8' long, in the middle of the oval chamber. Rusted weapons and a couple of rotted shields lie nearby the skeletons' bony hands. Narrow pillars around the edges of the chamber support an arched ceiling. The tomb looks about 30' high by 20' wide. The sarcophagus has a flat stone lid, some kind of runic writing is engraved on the sides - looks like Narish (Norse).
Bernard: "A Norse tomb. Red Wizard, no doubt. They revered the Dark Goddess Hela, who they worshipped as Mistress of the Undead..."
Alyx eyes the skeletons warily, and grimaces.
"Oh, great."
