(YBA) Diaochan in Wicht's lair alone

[tleilaxu]

Diaochan proceeds down through the opening she came through and returns to the entrance room, needing a reminder about what doors there arehere....

 

[Wicht]

Proceeding back into the entrance chamber, Diaochan drops back down tothe lower floor of the crypt.

She is standing in the first room of the tomb. A door leads outside. Another door, across from that one, leads further into the tomb (two skeletons were guarding it) and above there was the door leading up to the mummie's chambers.

 

[tleilaxu]

Diaochan opens the door, proceeding further into the tomb

 

[Wicht]

There is a single sarcophagus against the back wall of the room. An unlit torch on the wall to Diaochan's left seems to be the only real feature of the room. Though as she looks closer she does see a round hole in the floor, about two feet wide to her right, hidden in the shadows of the corner.

 

[tleilaxu]

Diaochan approaches the hole and examines it. If this turns up nothing interesting she investigates the sarcophagus...

 

[Wicht]

The hole leads straight into an earthen tunnel. The tunnel heads straight down for at least six feet before sloping away to the north. A faint smell of decay wafts out of the hole.

The sarcophagus does not appear to be locked, though it does seem well sealed.

 

[tleilaxu]

Diaochan proceeds down the tunnel, holding her torch aloft.......

 

[Wicht]

The tunnel slowly levels out until at last it splits to the right or to the left. Diaochan can hear a noise from the left hand tunnel.

 

[tleilaxu]

Left is always a good way to go... thinks Diaochan, yet she tries to approach carefully, looking both before and behind

 

[Wicht]

The tunnel straightens out and enters into a larger room. Sitting on the floor of the room, is a man like figure chewing on a human arm. Its eyes glow red, its skin is yellowed and cracked and its smell is bad.

It stares for a moment at this intrusion, teeth bared.
