"Then this thing isn´t for carrying things up and down. It´s just a trap." affirms Rial.

"That's what it looks like to me too. Shall we try to move the sarcophagus again? We can always try and do something with this one later if our other searches leave us stumped." says Kerwin joining in the push on the coffin, careful not to set off the trap again.

"Ah, you wanna hear those wolf bones creak and splinter! Good idea, I was missing something today and it´s some fun. We could do the same with the big beetle, and compare." says Rial.

"I think a test corpse is a wonderful idea." Zan says.

Zan looks around the room to see if perhaps he could create some sort of pully system to move the sarcophagus from the shaft.
