"Not funny."
Carver plods along to get on with it. He's no fan of ghosts, vengeful or not. Zombies, fine, skeletons fine, but not ghosts.
He press into the chamber, eyes open reaching for his crowbar so he can pry the lid off.

The three ignore the magic symbols and begin opening the stone coffin. With combined strength, they lift it a bit, then let it drop to the ground on one side. Inside, there is the dead body of a woman, skin blackened from time, wearing moldered robes, that were expensive and exquisite in their day.
Suddenly, the body's eyes open and begin to glow in orange light!

Merisiel sighs and says, "As expected, one undead monstrosity and nothing obvious worth stealing. I'm guessing it's too late to put the lid back on and go upstairs like none of this ever happened." She draws her weapons, as she readies for a fight.

"Who disturbs Mamate Kan in her rest?" A grinding, strange voice sounds through the cavern.

The goblin has no idea who Kamate Kan is - whether that's a full name, title, whatever. He palms a couple grenades behind his back, anticipating this to go just swimmingly. "We are heroes on a mission to cleanse the healing waters of Amanad, which have gone foul at their source."

Merisiel holds her breath and waits to see how Mamate Kan responds to Fulbus' declaration.

The figure hesitates a bit, then continues. "I remember. You must seek the lake cavern. It is east from my abode. Let me rest now."

Merisiel stands there with her jaw hanging open, looking very foolish, for a moment, before saying, "Thank you very much." She turns to the others and says, "Now let's put the nice lady's tomb back together." The dangers of tangling with undead aside, you really couldn't rob someone who had just given you helpful advice.

The mummy seems to grow weaker, the magic fading and the light in her eyes dimming, she leans back into her sarcophagus and stops moving. With considerable effort, the companions manage to close the tomb again.

Merisiel says to Fumbus, "Well, you were right, but for the wrong reasons. Shall we head east?" She peers down the passageway.
