[IC] Chapter 1-4: Cellars of Hate

[DM Surranó]

(continuing...)

Now that Lugar figured out how the thing should work the two manage to remove the granite slab by dragging it sideways until it's off the shoulder and carefully lean it against the other wall.

Just as they thought; this is a proper sarcophagus albeit a bit unusual to store someone in standing position. As a result, there is just a heap of bones and rags at the bottom of this coffin, covered with crimson velvet inside.
On top of the whole thing is a thin crown, more like a circlet or diadem. It looks like brass and smoked glass to Lugar but hasn't aged a day since the funeral, still shiny with no signs of rust.
The rags suggest that the wearer had a high social status, possibly of royal origin.
The only prominent piece of the skeleton is the skull; it suggests it's the remains of a human or similar sized humanoid creature.

This is how much the party can tell by the looks; shuffling through the remains is needed to learn more.
