Thorelf is preoccupied with the slabs.

"Uh-huh? Yes, I thought so. Also, I wanted to get away from Krooda, remember. What do you think this is? Too simple for a graveyard, right?"

He checks one of the slabs for traps

Find traps (25%): [1d100]=24

"I'm not sure if we should pop one open to see, could be living dead in there, like in the room before."

Korin still testing for any type of air direction or "breeze", simply nos his agreement "I s'pose yeah ain't normal fer a cemetary not by human er dwarf standards."

Thorelf

flexes his nimble thieving skills and confidently comes to the conclusion that the slab he checks is not trapped.

While doing so, he also discovers that the slab ought to be fairly easy to shift, by someone with reasonable strength.

Korin will try and move the slab to help Thorelf out.

The slab is fairly easy to shift/open and to temporarily rest against the compartment's side. The trio peer inside and see....a skeleton lying down, with its head towards the opening.

It was a good idea to start on two.
That way, you are spared having to go past two, to many, or even way up to lots.

Korin

please describe exactly where the trap search is performed, when faced with an opened rectangular 3' x 3' tomb compartment in which a skeleton snugly lies (without room for much else). Is it...the door slab ? The opening ? Or the inner walls, roof or floor of the enclosure (which one can only check by crawling inside, thus most likely mashing the skeleton)? Or is it the skeleton itself that Korin checks?

just searching the 3' x 3' opening and around the skeleton I suppose.

Thorelf readies his sword.

"Are you sure this is a very good idea?

He backs off.
