As Quinlan and Charles cut into the corpse it falls apart. The flesh is almost jelly-like and disintegrates very quickly. Drugan only barely has time to fish the golden item from the goop in the sarcophagus before it sinks to the bottom.
The item is a very thin gold sheet, a foot long and a bit less across. It has writing engraved into it in a spidery script. To his surprise, Drugan can make something out of it as much of it is in the normal magical runes. Apparently it is the formula for a spell of some kind.
OOC: You have opened two of the sarcophagi close to the door.

"Hmm, comrades this gold sheet contains a spell, perhaps when I have some time to decipher it , it will reveal how to open the statue chambers doors"
"Or it could be some lost spell of arcane power"
"Shall we move on to the next sarcophagus or retreat to the tower?"
"Either way lets leave this...slimy gill-man to decompose, yuck!"

Quinlan: "yes, lets pop the other lid."

Poncho: "Agreed, let's pop it off... third time's the charm. I bet it's full of treasure."

"Let's keep using Drugan's crowbar method. I don't feel like getting sucked into one of those tombs."
OOC: Who wants to pick the next one?

Quinlan: "Agreed Charles, Drugan is the ideas man and that was a darn good one. I would exalt him but I have no idea what an exalt is..."

Verklud demonstrates a two-step dance of exaltation for Charles' benefit.

The next sarcophagus holds another dead gill-man in the same state of jelly-like decomposition, it is however decked out in gold jewelry.
Eager now, you open another one, this gill-man wears a gold coronet. Rushing to another one you are disappointed to find that the corpse has decomposed completely. Not giving up hope you open the one beside it. Pay dirt!
This gill-man was buried with a beautifully crafted jambiya. Alwyn is however surprised when he picks it up and it jumps out of his hands and slashes into him.
OOC: Alwyn failed his DEX SR and takes 6 points of damage. If he is still carrying his shield it will lessen the blow. Once the damage is determined he will earn 7 x Lost CON in EP.
Does anyone want to try and catch the dancing blade (DEX SR)? Otherwise it will attack one of you at random.

Drugan levels his staff at the miscreant misericorde and lets it have a taste of the old "Lash" Spell.
"Now while it's stunned drop a lid on it, or pin it to the ground with a shield!"

Drugan curses profanely.
"Well I guess that didn't disrupt the animating force after all!"
"All right anyone with a shield dog pile on it, our try to pin it to the wall"
"If you don't have a shield try throwing your cloak over it, that should slow it down!"

"I've got it!"
Charles rushes forward to capture the dagger, relying on his big shield
more than his agility. If nothing else it may bury itself in the thick wood of the shield.
2d6 +11 >= 20
6 + 1 + 11 = 18 ... failure
OOC: So close.

Quinlan uses the pommel of his sword to mush up the gilman's head - just in case he is somehow guiding the blade.

"No, I've got it!"
Poncho makes a snatch at the dancing steel and comes up empty.
2d6 +13
1 + 5 + 13 = 19... fail
OOC: It's a quick little beastie!
