You decide that such a CHOICE should be left up to FATE. You engage the WIZARDLY BILATERAL ENTROPY ELUCIDATOR. To the uneducated, it looks like a simple COIN FLIP, but a WIZARDLY ELUCIDATOR is actually a SOPHISTICATED DEVICE that allows FATE and ENTROPY to exert their INEXORABLE and METAPHORIC WILL in WAYS UNKNOWN.
The WIZARDLY ELUCIDATOR comes up as TAILS, which you interpret as GO RIGHT. You order the STABBY INFANTRY to proceed, and enter into a PARTICULARLY CRACKED ROOM. More important than the decor is the presence of HOSTILE UNDEAD, who immediately INITIATE STRIFE.

Well, that was a WORTHY BATTLE. Your ASSORTED MINIONS have grown only larger, and you proceed into the NEXT ROOM after noting BLUE MUSHROOMS growing in the corner.
MapUpon entering, you order the STABBY INFANTRY to guard the DOOR, and take in the ROYAL BURIAL CHAMBER. The first thing you see is a NICE RUG before a DAMAGED SHRINE. There are TACKY GOLD-VENEER PILLARS that have fallen. Two of the COFFINS have obviously been LOOTED, but the OLD CHESTS remain INTACT. There is also a LARGE TOMB that has an UNREADABLE HEADSTONE on it that was clearly too HEAVY to be LOOTED.
