[talk]A cue if ever I saw one,[/talk] Cyrius remarks. [talk]It may take all of us to get that lid off.[/talk] He moves to the side of the sarcophagus (2130) and waits for the others to do likewise in order to raise the lid.

[spoiler]Klaatu doesn't worry me. It's Gort who can bring down the pillars of heaven.[/spoiler]

Cyrius, Tex, and Lola remove the lid from the sarcophagus, which proves to be rather easier than expected. Any one of them could have accomplished it alone, with a little effort.

Inside, there is no corpse or skeleton, only a few objects:
  • a slight silver diadem inscribed with the same glyph as the one shown in the bas relief and on the sarcophagus lid
  • two long slightly curved black horns with red tips, identical to the ones on the head of the demoniac figure in the bas relief
  • a pewter box inscribed with alien, writhing letterforms; melted metal seals the lid of the box
[ooc]I have a picture of the diadem, but not the other objects. You can use your imagination for those.[/ooc]

[talk]Should we try to open the box, or take it back and see if Master Penkawr can tell us anything about it?[/talk] Cyrius. [talk]I suggest the latter; he may be able to identify the diadem and horns as well.[/talk]

[talk]I agree, it looks pretty sealed anyway. GAther it up, and lets see if we can get out of here. We should close everything up on the way out.[/talk]

Have they get the content out, tex closes the lid of the sarcophagus
