"Wow, bummer! Not only is there no jewelry on this guy, but this guy is not even at home! On the off-chance that the former occupant of this coffin is roaming about someplace, maybe we should desecrate the coffin to eliminate his/its resting place?"

OOC: The closest skill that Bevin has for this is Kowledge (Arcana), so here's his check for that skill: 17. 1d20+14=17

"Hmmm, I'm sure this isn't how we buried our abbots" Father Fullers says, as he examines the dirt more closely.

Bevin watches Father Fuller examine the dirt with great interest. "Hmm, it never really occurred to me before, but yeah! I guess a priest is the perfect person to be an expert on Mortal Clay."

Father Fuller recalls that some kind of undead monster - perhaps vampires - lairs in a coffin lined with grave dirt, and retreats there to heal when forced into gaseous form by damage.

Aram frowns as his companions examine the coffin. "Whoever or whatever inhabits that coffin isn't here now. We should move on."

"Father Fuller, would it keep an undead occupant of this coffin from 're-charging' itself if we removed the dirt from inside, or perhaps corrupted it in some way?"

 

[renau1g]

"We should remove the dirt, in case that vampire returns here to come back to life" Father Fuller says plainly, as he begins to remove the dirt from the coffin.

Bevin immediately moves to assist Father Fuller. "Wouldn't you just know it? There's clean-up to be done, and I've left my whisk broom at home! But I must say that even though this is closer to my area of racial expertise, my granddad would pirouette in his tomb if he knew that I was digging a mine in a casket!"

Dressla rolls her eyes at the goings-on.

Finally the dirty deed is done; most of the earth lies scattered on the ground.

Bevin thoroughly dusts his hands together and then wipes them on his breeches anyway. "So. Will that do anything, do you suppose, Father Fuller?"
