RJK'S Cairn of the Skeleton King

Rupert will instead hold up and allow his other shorter statured friend pass by first.

"So I take it he is our cannon fodder?" he jests with a wide smile.

Rupert walks through the bones and can open the red door (which he finds unlocked) without any complication...

Before him extends a huge chamber.
Its various dimensions and coigns are hidden to sight by its interior darkness.
The concave and ribbed ceiling must be about 40 feet high at its apex.

Stone reliefs have been worked into the walls left and right of the the doorway.

Eight sarcophagi rest there on small stone aprons, flanking a ninth one resting on a higher base.

Though the light doesn't reach the ninth sarcophagus, Rupert is sure that it must be made of a different material than the other, wooden ones...
 

Blinking in this new environment, Rupert gapes, "Payload!"

He turns and yells through the door, probably most unwisely since who knows who could be hearing them, "The room is safe to walk through, come this way quickly!"

After telling his friends he'll do a little skip and dance, he's never been one to grave rob before, preferring high society mansions and the like, but he's heard rumors of some of the wonders these tombs contain.
 

In the shadows, it looks like Timrek smiles at Rupert as he approaches.

"In the future, let me passs through firssst," he says. "What ussse isss cannon fodder in the back of the party?" He chuckles raspily.

He looks around the chamber. "Perhapsss you might ressstrain yourssself," he continues. "We do not know what you might awaken with your... quesssting handsss."
 

Anton comes through and as he does so he yoinks a skull from the pile of bones. Reezo follows, flying above the bones.

He warns Rupert "Don't, uh" he hesitates a moment as he lowers the stolen skull "open or take anything yet. We need to search carefully for traps and beware of disturbing the undead!"
 

Zanax and Moja will follow the party single file through the bone room and into the next chamber. When one person leaves the bones the next enters. Moja is careful padding through the bones. A trap here could set off fire. Moja hates fire especially.
 



Flying up near the ceiling, Titus passes through the hall and into the chamber. Vigilant for encroaching enemies, he lets the others poak around on the ground.
