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

Jabari follows Sasha, looking for more sand monsters. They might be easier to spot now that I know what they look like., he thinks.

Are you ok? Onward, or...?

Oh yes! Avaline's healing touch has made me almost as good as new. Onward to fame and riches!

Jabari still has some pain but tries very hard not to show it.

A tapestry hangs from a frame against the south wall of this large chamber; it depicts an otherworldly vista where the souls of the dead, shepherded by strange beings, enter an ethereal river ambling through space toward a landscape dominated by an impossibly tall spire. Columns sculpted in the shape of Osirian warriors wielding khopeshes stand in all four corners of the room. The floor is tiled in a white spiral pattern on a black background, and this spiral pattern is repeated on the stone double doors to the north, east, and west.

Intrigued by the tile pattern, and wary of more magic shenanigans Cross cast detect magic.

There is no magic in this room besides that which you might carry.

Then Cross carefully step out on the colourfull tiles, if nothing happens she moves to study a statue

The tiles seem safe and statues appear to be nondescript soldiers.

Sasha crosses the room like a house mouse to the other side and looks onward.

Jabari keeps an eye on everyone. Read to pounce or protect.

There are double doors on the other two walls (but not to your left when you entered). The doors are closed.

Cross moves to Sasha and helps her to open the next door.

The door is locked.

Sasha edges around the room by the left side to the other doors to check them.

The two doors are both locked. The one by which you entered, is not.

Sasha announces as she find the second set of door locked, Looks like we are going to have to work these doors to gain further access.

Rolling for Sasha.

Sasha finds no traps, but her first attempt at unlocking it fails.

Cross examines the floor tiles. Does some of the change when there is weight on them?

No, the tiles are simply decorative.

Assuming Sasha continues to work the lock, she'll get it open fairly soon.

The heavy hardened door opens into a short hallway that narrows sharply ahead, descending a set of stairs that abruptly ends at a rough, rock wall.
