Though she can't see his smile beneath the mask he bears, it is present in his voice. "Aye," he says, "The mighty Khadi landed many a blow against the mighty, metal serpent before it was slain." He laughs, "The only burden you will bear is that of keeping up with me, drink for drink."

He feels the healing energy wash over him and nods in appreciation.

"I suppose that might the last of it, then," he says, "We should complete what we came for, then leave the dead in peace."

Tabat carefully and respectfully removes the armor from the fallen king's body, holding it aloft, "Kingly garb, light in weight - not my style, but one of you could most certainly make use of it. It's in surprisingly good condition, I have to guess there are enchantments woven into it, or else the padding would have been more lost to time."

Otherwise Tabat will help remove the gold leaf from this sarcophagus, then also that of the false one in the flood room, and of course, heft all the loot to the outside and open air.
OOC:
We're stripping this place bear, right? I vote we even take the time to remove that chariot, though it would require time and possibly checks to take it apart. How long will we have access to the crypt to do all this?

Also - well done everyone!

Stripping the tombs of valuables is expected. Desecrating the honored dead is not.

Disassembling the chariot and putting it back together on the surface will require a DC 15 Craft (Carpentry) or Profession (Driver) check. If successful, the chariot is worth 150gp (100gp if not successful but still removed in pieces).

OOC:
Can I take 20 to disassemble the chariot?
Jan 5, 2022 5:13 pm
OOC:
I don't think so, as failure would mean something goes wrong (taking 20 is basically trying until you're successful and so include interim failures). However, I will let you (or someone) take 10 and allow assisting. In the interests of moving forward, I rule that is successful without bothering for rolling for assists.

OOC:
Do we have someone trained in one of the necessary skills?
Jan 5, 2022 7:20 pm
OOC:
I believe you don't need to be trained to roll craft, so if Jaware takes 10 and there is assistance we'll be able to put our heads together and work it out. OS sounds like a good plan.

OOC:
Sounds awesome!

Additional question - is the metal from the snake's body worth anything?

Seems likely.

Jaware approaches que chariot and begins to circle it, thinking about the work to be done. After a minute he stops and says:

I think this is a two people job, but it is possible to be done.

Then Jaware, with the help of the party, start the slow job of disassembling the chariot and putting it back together on the surface.

You spend a lot of time meticulously disassembling the chariot and then hauling it up the shaft to the surface, and reassembling it. When you're done, you feel that you've done a good job handling the fragile vehicle.

You also haul up all of the other treasure that you've found.

It's around noon, and the heat of the day has begun to bear down on you. You carefully return to the gates, and to Wati, and make the journey to Wati unmolested.

A few gathered priests ask to see your loot and gush at some of the various items. They have no intention of confiscating anything, they're merely curious at the treasures of the past that have been uncovered. Other people in the area cheer the returning conquering heroes. In all, you're in good spirits when you return to the Tooth and Hookah.
Congratulations, you ascend to level 2. You'll have time to sell the loot you've gathered before the next lottery and the next location to explore in the necropolis.

What can we buy? We wil roleplay the selling and buying of equipment?

OOC:
I'm not really a keen proponent of forcing you to RP haggling for price, especially in PBP. If you would like to RP shopping, then that's certainly possible.

OOC:
Yay for Level 2! May we assume identification of the shield and armor are successful during this time? What do they do? Since it was Tabat's idea to heft the snake remains out of the crypt, I'll roll an untrained appraise check to try and get an idea how much it might be worth and will include in our valuables to sell.
