[Gameplay] Part 1: The Lottery & Tomb of Akhentepi

Bennekheb fires off a crossbow bolt, hoping for but not getting a lucky shot against the tiny creature.

The creature struggles to gain its feet and eviscerate Sasha!

It slips and slides out of the greased area and slams at Sasha. This thing is inordinately strong! But misses.

You're all up. Grease is no longer a factor unless you try and get behind it.

Sasha drops her whip and draws out her small sword and attacks the doll with all her might.

Combat is over.

Want to describe the final attack sequence?

As the tiny doll pieces scatter to the sides of the room from the force of her blow, you take a breather. The Grease will dissipate within a minute, so you take the time to review the room. Sasha notices that the chests are sealed with wax.

Cross picks up and examens the shield

Spellcraft is used to Identify magic item properties while using the Detect Magic spell. For Cross, that means +9 instead of +7, but she just barely fails.

Feeling danger, Sasha takes her time searching the wax sealed chests. Now lets see what we have here.

Sasha takes her time, but finds no traps.

Sasha says before she goes over to the clay urn, Well these look okay but the do have wax seal on them. Anyone want to take look at the seals to see if they understand why they are there. Still cautious Sasha will spend time to check the clay urn out before trying to open it.

They're just wax that seal the chests as if from moisture. They're not sealed as a noble might seal a letter.

We can carry them out as is, break the seal outside

Lets move on. There was a door...

Avaline nods. "Somewhere safer than this place, perhaps. Though I hate to think that there might be something useful inside that we're missing," she says, musing thoughtfully.

She crouches down next to one of the chests, lays her fingers lightly on the wax. "We could melt it, perhaps? Hold a torch nearby?"

It is wax, you could probably peel it off with a fingernail or dagger or sharp stone.

Jabari removes his knife from its sheath.

Here... allow me to remove these.. Then he proceeds to whittle the seals away.

Treasure: Most of the arms and armor on the racks are mundane items, but Akhentepi’s khopesh and spear are both masterwork weapons. The composite shortbow is still serviceable, but its string has deteriorated, and must be replaced before the weapon can be used. The scarab-shaped steel shield is a magic shield.

The chests are of good craftsmanship but less ornate than the one found in the room with the chariot. None of the chests are locked or trapped, but each has been sealed with wax. They contain a sack with a 100 gp and 42 sp, and several scroll tubes holding papyrus records, private memos, expense ledgers, speeches, and private correspondence. Among the papers are discussions regarding the unfinished tomb of Akhentepi’s mistress. There is little else of interest in the papers, but to a collector or Osirionologist, these documents are worth 250 gp total if undamaged. The clay urn is also sealed with wax and contains nard, an expensive, oily perfume, worth 75 gp.

Sasha holds no interest in the weapons as they are obviously too large for her effectively handle as well as the shields. She is highly interested in the papers. Winks. As well as gold and such. This room is great. Well worth the fight. She obviously has not any problem at all with tomb raiding. Generally speaking Little Sasha isn't really great about carrying anything.

"These are amazing," Avaline says in not much more than a whisper. "If we find nothing else, these papers would be worth all the effort."

She very carefully looks through them, touching them as little and as gently as possible.
