Jacqueline says (to Floyd), "x image"
Floyd | You can't see any such thing.

olethros says (to Floyd), "x lid"
Floyd | Upon closer examination, you realise this huge box could never have fit
Floyd | through the entrance passage; it appears to have been carved out of one
Floyd | immense, smooth-polished chunk of marble. The lid is as thick as your
Floyd | hand is wide, and is positioned an inch or so off centre.
Floyd |
Floyd | The image of the dead ruler's face, the only adornment on this box,
Floyd | somehow fills you with dread.

Jacqueline says, "Well, that's probably as well that we can't see the face, since it frightens us."
olethros says, "rowr"
DavidW says, "maybe we need to wander more. Find a crowbar thingy"
Jacqueline says, "hm - sure"

Floyd | Burial Chamber
Floyd | What a disappointment. This chamber must have once been filled with
Floyd | treasures beyond imagination, before the museums plundered its wealth.
Floyd | Dark patches of stone on the floor are the only indication of where
Floyd | valuable artifacts once stood, while the walls stand bare and forlorn.
Floyd | The massive sarcophagus remains in the centre of the room, but only,
Floyd | you suspect, because of its sheer weight.
Floyd |
Floyd | The sarcophagus lid bears a menacing engraving of the spirit of the
Floyd | deceased Pharoah calling down maledictions upon all who would defile
Floyd | his tomb.

olethros says (to Floyd), "out"
Floyd | But you aren't in anything at the moment.

maga says (to Floyd), "w"
Floyd | As you turn to leave, you feel strangely compelled to glance back at
Floyd | the defiled sarcophagus one more time. A tiny flicker in the shadows.
Floyd | Did the Pharoah's lips move in a curse? At that moment, your torch
Floyd | somehow slips from your panicking hands, and you dive for it in the
Floyd | wildly flickering light. As if guided by an unseen hand, it rolls into
Floyd | a small gap at the foot of the north wall that you somehow hadn't
Floyd | noticed earlier, plunging you into complete darkness. Two heartbeats
Floyd | later, you hear what must surely be your torch shattering on a hard
Floyd | surface, followed shortly by the awful grinding noise of stone against
Floyd | stone in the distance, echoing through the empty chamber...
Floyd |
Floyd | Darkness
Floyd | You are groping around blindly in the dark. The walls and floor are
Floyd | smooth, cold stone. The imposing sarcophagus, thankfully, is still
Floyd | closed.

Jacqueline asks (of olethros), "rowr? Was that a mischannel or did I miss something?"
inky says, "noooo"
olethros says (to Floyd), "enter sarcophagus"
Floyd | That's not something you can enter.

maga says, "this game is going to be entirely composed of 'oh shit' moments, isn't it"
inky says (to Floyd), "feel floor"
Floyd | There doesn't seem to be anything remarkable about that.
