Detect Traps is level 3!

I grinned to myself, and not only at the advancement. There was one tripwire attached to the sarcophagus, and I was happy to notice it. After clipping the wire, I tried shoving off the lid of the sarcophagus to get at whatever was underneath, the heavy stone slab didn't budge.

“Come on, help me with this,” I said to Farelle.

The Satyr rolled her eyes, but though I could see she was terrified, she obliged anyway. Treasure was always a great motivator. Soon we were scraping the lid off and it clunked to the floor with a boom. My companion and I both looked nervously towards the door, but no sounds followed. We were alone, at least for the moment. Still, I whispered to Farelle, “Let's be quick.” She nodded in agreement.

We both looked inside, and my eyes went round as fine china. Gold, both in coins and ingots, glittered around the edges of the mummified corpse. And clutched in its hands was the jeweled pommel of an immaculate longsword. Rings decorated its fingers, and silver necklaces hung from its neck.

I met Farelle’s eyes, my own excitement mirrored in hers. “We’re rich!” I whispered.

She nodded, than her mouth firmed. “As long as we get out of here alive. Let's put all of this in that magical satchel of yours and get the hell away.”

I started to scoop up coins and disappear them into my inventory as quickly as I could, while the Wilder kept a nervous lookout. Soon I had everything in my inventory, and noticed a considerable weight difference when I stood. I guess I did have a bear a portion of what my inventory held; it just hadn’t been noticeable. Last of all, I whispered, “Sorry, fella,” and pried the stiff fingers off the sword. Some released easily, but three I had to break off they clung to it so stiffly. When I had it free, I held it up to the light and admired the rubies on the golden hilt.
