• Before us stands a large chamber, 8 columns, raised plinths, there are pits at the sides of the room, at the far end is the grand coffin that is on a raised platform, the platform with ramps up to it
  • When we enter the room, we feel a physical pull towards the front, we can jump an extra 5 ft towards the coffin
• Lya hides(28) and so does Quill(12)
• The doors remain open behind us
• We can feel the entire floor shifting beneath us
• As we step in farther, part of what is happening is familiar, tops of sarcophagi are opening, the center sarcophagus opens too
• A thing spoke to us
  • On the two sides, hands reach out and start to reach for something,they are skeletal, they are the same creatures as the ones in the family chamber but the are armored in scalemail and they have curving blades, probably royal guards
  • A voice echoes through the chamber as a slightly larger snake humanoid emerges from the end with a trident and rings it along the outside edge of the coffin
• Initiative
• Snake vaults out of coffin and raises trident and about 10 and 20 crystals come out of his coffin and spiral around us. Smashes trident into ground and a series of runes goes down the room and creates a circle under quite a few people, they feel the air pressure shift
• Aella tries to leave the circle but impacts a solid wall, she misty steps out of the wall, she hits one of the guards
• There is a change in the pitch of the floor beneath us, sound pitch
• Glelvrever any time you make an attack or saving throw add a d4
• Guards are sneaky, they raise sword but strike with their tail, Aella is constricted, Meph is constricted by the other one now
• Maeve casts heat metal on snakes armor, he collects the spells energy with a crystal 
• Mariana makes a wave of calming energy, everyone within 20 ft aura, Maeve, Gelv, Dorian and Aster, gain 1d6 inspiration die to use for saving throw or ability check, and she helps other people be not frightened
• Meph tries to hit the big guy but nothing she tries hits him
• Two Aaracokra enter the room, they can fly which is strange considering skeleton wings
• Quill does massive damage to the snake holding Aella and runs around back to try to look into the coffin, the Snake drops Aella
  • There is a small creature skeletally, it seems like a pet, there is clearly an empty space where the big guy should be, there are spaces where the gems came from
• Dorian realizes that there big guy is not there (blindsight)
• Big guy must have cast illusion then invisibility bc he appeared right back by the coffin, and then casts fireball
• Big guy finally got hit and the wall is gone now, some of the gems go grey and clatter to the ground
• Gilli boi hits snake holding Meph and snake releases her
• Gelvrever becomes a tiny six legged feline of some kind, similar to scath cats but from way too early a time period
• Meph pulls gold cork, pours a gallon of honey on the ground, then throws a flash bang and hides
• Big boi flings Quill across the room
• Lya and Quill have confusion
• Mariana and Quill both get downed and fail one death save
• Dorian gets downed by a wall of lightning from the bigboi
• Maeve and Quill get downed by another fireball, Lya is still confused, Gelvrever is still a feline, Dorian is down, Aster, Meph, Aella, Mariana and Lya are all still conscious
