I can't believe my own greed, but I just couldn't resist rummaging through that dusty old chest. Look at me, finding 8 gold coins - how generous of them to leave such a "generous" tip. As if I'd ever spend it on something useful, like a proper weapon or armor. Oh no, not Galath Galahad, the great explorer! I'll surely squander it on some overpriced ale or a night at the local tavern, engaging in witty banter with the locals.
With my newfound riches securely in my pocket, I examine the now-empty chest - perhaps there's a secret compartment or two? Alas, my hopes are dashed as I find nothing of interest. Well, it was worth a shot, I suppose.
As I glance around the room, I can't help but notice the large, dark space looming before me. The walls are adorned with grotesque depictions of brutality - how delightful. It seems someone has nailed a mummy to an oversized X, surrounded by vicious barbed wire. How original. In the far corner, I see an abandoned chest - no doubt filled with more treasures waiting for me to discover.
Now, which path should I choose? Should I approach the mummy and give it a friendly wave, or perhaps return to that room full of alcoves? Decisions, decisions... Oh, what's the use? Let's just see what this mummy is all about, shall we? Who knows, it might even invite me to dinner!
