If so, that might affect the PCs by occasionally dazing them (end of every round the is an attack vs Will, Hit and the target is dazed (lethargic) until the end of it's next turn or something until the sarcophagus is completely open at which point that hazard ends.hmm.. will think about it some more and add something if i think of it later.</blockquote>
