[Prophet]

B We'll get a chance to do more here once we're a bigger stronger dragon.

[Kashyyk]

E Declare the Sarcophagus as your new hoard. Sleep on it for ultimate growth.

[omada]

C is a sarcophagus, might be cursed, wait a little and later it will be our lair. but check smaller stuff.

[helmacon]

Can we take a moment to appreciate the bad ass of a dragon that we are? While other hatchlings were eating bugs, we were disembowling wild boars. When other dragons were hunting rodents, we killed a fucking alpha raptor. Can I remind you that we are the size of a house cat? A fucking alpha raptor! Are we bad ass or what?
A glorious deed seems to indicate something where the odds are heavily if favour of you dyeing. I bet most dragons only perform a handful their whole lives. We've done two before we're even a teenager. Fuck, before we're even five days old! We are best Dragon!

You reach over with your claws and pry out one of the garnets, slipping it into your new satchel.  As you start prying out the second there is a sudden rumbling from beneath as the sarcophagus lid begins to move aside.  You pry the second garnet out, but it spins away from you as you quickly scrabble off the lid.

You manage to get to the edge of the pyramid platform, out of most of the light.  The second garnet is a few feet away, in front of the sarcophagus.  You watch as a clawed hand, bound in ancient black wrappings, reaches out and grasps the edge of the sarcophagus for support.  As the lid clatters to the floor, a huge figure emerges; a humanoid torso with a serpentine head and tail, all wrapped in desiccated black wrappings.  A solid gold mask covers the upper half of the serpent's face above the jaw, with a ceremonial tunic of black cloth and gold trim over the creature's torso.  Grasped in one hand is a long burnished bronze staff, topped with a four foot blade akin to a particularly long-bladed glaive.  The creature has no eyes that you can see, but it scans the room as if searching for something - probably you.

A) Aha!  A most challenging foe!  Not to mention wealthy.  !!
B) Just make a break for one of the passages.
C) Grab the garnet, then run.
D) Try and get to a better hiding place, then wait and watch what happens.
E) Something Else.

A! For Honor and glory!

Survival is the better part of Glory.

 When larger we come back with magic and turn undead/ use necromancy and turn this our lair. Or just destroy the mummy.

Because i don't think it's too wise to show yourself.

You wait until the mummy's serpentine head turns away from the garnet, leap out and snatch it up in your jaws.  You then leap back into the shadows and hustle as quickly and quietly as possible down one of the passages out, shoving the garnet into your bag as you go.

The corridor gets darker the further away you go, so you don't notice the slightly different flagstone until you step on it and it recedes into the ground.  You barely manage to sprint on out of the way as a huge blade scythes out of the wall, nicking you in one wing.  You aren't seriously injured, but the pain is an unwelcome distraction on top of the pain you are already suffering from the earlier fall.  Keeping wary of possible future traps you make your way along the corridor, soon seeing another faint flicker of light.  Up ahead the corridor widens into a sort of long, wide room through which the main path continues.  Stone biers are set at intervals through the whole length of the room, with various small antechambers set to the sides.  Unlike the sarcophagi in the previous chamber, these only have simplified sculptures of serpentine humanoids in repose on their lids instead of detailed carvings.  You can see this because at regular, distant intervals small bronze plates have been set in pillars by the path, each of which is burning with a guttering yellow flame.

The source of these flames is apparent.  Further down the corridor you can see what appears to be another of these serpentine humanoids, this time wrapped in dull red bandages and garbed in some sort of faded crimson tunic or surcoat over its torso.  There is a mask on this mummy's head as well, but made of bronze instead of gold, and you see that it carries a large bronze jug in one hand and is slowly slithering over towards one of the smaller, dwindling flames.  It carefully pours a little oil from the jug into the plate and the flame quickly restores itself.  Both jug and mask are gleaming in burnished bronze, not a trace of verdigris upon them.

A) Close the distance and take this mummy down in a quick and dirty fight, no faffing about.
B) Try and get close to the mummy while undetected, then make your attack from hiding.
C) Just sneak past it and carry on down the corridor.
D) Investigate the side rooms for potential loot.
E) Something else?

I'm not feeling the tomb raiding at our current size and injury count to be honest. Maybe we should try to leave. Maybe learn some necromancery. Come back when we're bigger and take this place as our own, with or without the mummies as servants.
