Bruard studies the helmet without touching it, then says:rredmond wrote:Finally the giant wears a silver helmet snugly on his skull, it is unadorned and strange in that it has a visor (apparently retractable but currently pulled down) that is not grated in any way. Thus, it blocks the eye sockets, while whoever wore this it's difficult to see how they would, well, see. Etched into the visor are interesting glyphs of some sort.
His breath catches as Till spots the short sword and scabbard on the giant's belt.ToniXX wrote:...I saw a giant-sized helmet with a visor at the head of the tomb. Around the area where the waist of the creature would be, I saw the shapes of a sword and a knapsack of some sort. The side pouches of the sack glowed quite brightly, but not like the flame from the helm, but brighter than the sword. The sack itself may not be magical, but items within the small side pouches must be.
Nothing untoward occurs. Though upon removal from the scabbard the short sword glows with about a 15' radius of cheery blue light.Till wrote: Ever so slowly, Till's arm stretches into the stone coffin, crossing the skeletal remains of the giant. His hand pauses before grasping the hilt. His eyes dart to those of his companions and a smile spreads across his face.
"Come to me, my pretty," he says, as he wraps his fingers around the hilt and draws the sword from its scabbard.
OOC: Smart? Maybe not. In-character? Definitely.
After a quick, but thorough, examination of the short sword, Till absently grabs the scabbard and tucks it into his belt. And then he, reluctantly, sheathes the short sword, as well.
Upon removal of sword and scabbard, Till notes a haversack around the back of the giant's belt area. Though a mere pouch for the giant, it's a sack, that's got one pretty handy strap to go around someone's front and, as part of the sack, there are two pouches on the side of it.Till wrote:"knapsack... you mentioned something about a knapsack, Bruard..." He starts looking around the waist area for the pack when he notices Jeloon starting to prod at the stone chest with the rusted battle axe.
Till finds no traps, and the chest is unlocked. Till and Jeloon marvel at the glittery goodness of reflected lantern and magic sword light:Till wrote:"Sorry, I guess my job's not yet done, Jeloon," he says with a smile. "Let me check that for you..."
Till moves down to the bottom of the sarcophagus and examines the stone chest for any signs of traps. If he finds none, he'll have Jeloon help him open the lid.

Van and Eyman are at base camp.Argennian wrote:Yosef remains at the base of the now raised-even-higher dais while Till and the others do their thing.
If Van or Eyman are still down there and have a light source (or perhaps the torch Till threw, if it's not already burned up?), he'll ask them to lend it over a shoulder as he searches very carefully for any secret or concealed doors or potential hidey holes on the sides at the base of the platform. He'll also check the pillars afterward as well. If he needs to, Yosef will strike up a torch for a light source.
"Wonder of wonders! This could be very handy!!"rredmond wrote:Till picks up the sack, it's pretty light weighing about five pounds. To his disappointment... and amazement, he pulls out three bundles of 2' long sticks, each weighing about 20 pounds each.
