Deciding that he dead should rest undisturbed, you file out of the tomb. Ewan pulls the door shut. There is no lock. These doors were made of solid stone, which was daubed in a smooth layer of plaster to seal it shut. Years of attempted tomb robbers have chipped the plaster away leaving it defended soley by the trap you encountered. It has been successful thus far, even with Drow passing this way.
Approaching the next door (to D6), Tender gives it a cursory look while the rest of you hang back a good 40' away. It is difficult not to bunch in a narrow tunnel like this, but there it little you can do.
Searching the door [search=22;fail], Tender finds no sign of any traps or ward symbols. However, Mal's words about the magic on the door make the halfling decide to leave well alone. At Ewan's behest, you leave this other crypt and slowly walk down the stairs to the next level (at this point, i'm assuming you still have the coin Akatas made as a light source with a 60' radius. I need to know otherwise if you want to switch to darkvision etc..).
Walking down the stone steps, you follow a small corridor less than 20' long into a natural stone cavern. The walls of the cavern show no stone working save for shelves cut into them where the bones of many humans lie. It is cool here, dark save for the light emitted by Akatas' coin and very quiet - like a grave. On the other side of the cavern, a corridor worn into the rock extends into the darkness.
With little to do but carry on going, you advance through the corridor to the next cavern. This is much larger than the last, maybe twice as big. Again, shelves have been cut out in the sides of the walls and they are filled with human bones. Most striking about this cavern is the huge marble statue that depicts a gaunt, alien looking creature with the body of a man, bulbous eyes, an insects mandibles and an elongated oval head.
