I can try to bypass or break the trap, but I'm sure about the double doors. Might it lock and seal them?

Disable Device - (1d20+8)

(12) + 8 = 20

Sasha determines that there is no way to disable this device, save for not putting pressure on the entire center platform the sarcophagus is on. Maybe some kind of improbably acrobatic rope based balancing act?
OOC:
In the interests of moving this along, I'll assume you all take the full time necessary (taking 20 on every 5' of wall and floor) to search the untrapped areas of the room.
You find two secret doors, to the left and right, and a movable torch bracket, that when pulled down, clicks something, although there is no obvious effect.
Jan 4, 2020 5:19 pm
With inability to easily disable the trap. Sasha is happy to find other ways out of her in her search. She will try the left Secret door and see what lies behind it. She does tell the others about the right one and the Torch Bracket Lever that she activated with no idea what it did.

That space is also trapped with a pressure plate. That was sort of mentioned earlier but I'll remind you now. You're not sure if the pressure plate has been deactivated by the torch, although that would make sense.

OOC:
Okay I seem to have forgotten that about the pressure plate. Sasha will look to the right secret door instead.

This small room is filled with human-shaped bundles wrapped in linen. Each wears a small medallion around its neck. There are no other obvious exits.

Knowledge History or Religion might tell you more.

Jabari carefully approaches one of the bundles and slowly draws his large fingers around the medallion. He is tempted to unroll a bundle too, but thinks better of it.

The medallions are symbols to Pharasma, you've seen her symbol often enough to recognize it. As to the purpose of the bundles, well, they're wrapped bodies it seems. As to why, Jabari is bereft of the knowing.
Jan 4, 2020 8:42 pm
See that is in no way forward Sasha will go to the pressure plate to the left secret door and try to disable it so as to easily open the secret door.

Disable device - (1d20+9)

(9) + 9 = 18

Sasha doesn't think it's currently activated.
Jan 6, 2020 5:27 pm
She just the same tries to open the secret door without stepping on the plate and if she can't then she will take her sword and activate the plate from being beside it and hope the trap doesn't get her. Lookout I'm going take for the secret door.
Jan 6, 2020 5:45 pm
It's too far to reach, but triggering the plate doesn't seem to do anything at this time.
Jan 6, 2020 6:08 pm
OOC:
Blame my life and vacation induced absence, but... am I reading right that there are multiple pressure plates around the room?
Jan 6, 2020 6:17 pm
Does Sasha mange to open the left secret door then?
Jan 6, 2020 6:48 pm
Yes, Sasha is able to open the doors, which open revealing a room the same size as the one with the linen wrapped bodies, but this room has double doors at the far side. After examining the doors, you don't think they're locked or trapped.

Beyond those doors, the corridor stretches further then turns to the right, down a set of stairs which end at more doors.
Jan 6, 2020 7:05 pm
Sasha says to the other This is the way to go I think and she enters into the room and crosses to the double doors. There she waits for the others.
Jan 10, 2020 1:47 am
Jabari follows. I think you are right Sasha.

Google Slide Map updated

You move to the top of the stairs, watching for more trapped flagstones or trip wires or some other kind of insidious device.

Bennekheb seems to notice something and on examination, there are signs of a secret door on the south wall at the top of the stairs down. The stairs themselves seem to be untrapped, the doors at the bottom similarly untrapped and unlocked.

Sasha will take interest in that secret door and check it out. If good she open it. She is taking her time about open it as she really does suspect it is trapped.
