The moment the sarcophagus opened, an eerie, malevolent energy filled the chamber, and the temperature plummeted. The fire on their torches trembled violently.

A deafening crash rang out as the coffin lid hit the ground. At that same moment, those who had their backs turned to the platform saw the helmeted corpse-guards on the steps below. Each one twisted their neck 180 degrees, their faces now staring silently at the group.
