Onward!
The Seams Give, But The Dagger Breaks...
A: Means Of Escape...
A2: Try to pry the seams open with the dagger. (Dexterity.)
With a careful and deliberate application of the dagger's blade, I cut away the lining of the coffin and begin prying apart its seams. It takes far longer than I would have preferred, and the air grows steadily staler as I work, which by the end makes me incautiously hasty and rushed in my efforts. Though I succeed in getting one panel of the coffin pried away enough that I can break it out and escape, the price I pay is that my dagger snaps in half at the last and I must finish busting out the panel with my shoulder, which will leave me with quite a bruise.
I scramble free of the coffin and look around me, or I try, but there's no light. After regaining my breath I reach back into the coffin and collect the items I found, I figure I will need them, even the broken part of my dagger. I dress in the suit of clothes by feel, and then feel around the top of the coffin looking for I'm not sure what, but I know when I find it: a candle in a candle holder, and a box of Tinder Twigs.
With fumbling fingers that spill several tinder twigs on the ground I managed to get the candle lit, and found myself...
A: Where am I?
A1: inside a night-dark mosoleum.
A2: next to my coffin in a mortuary.
A3: attop a stacked pile of other coffins in the middle of a vast cave.
A4: on a relatively dry and sandy shelf above the water at the back of a sea-cave...
B: What was waiting for me?
B1: My own Ghost.
B2: My apprentice.
B3: my pet Frost-Skeleton Archer & Zombie Dog.
B4: my husband and children.
B5: my fellow deathwives.
C: You must now distribute your last four stats.
C1: High Charisma, Good Wisdom, Average Constitution, Low Strength.
C2: High Constitution, Good Wisdom, Average Charisma, Low Strength.
C3: High Strength, Good Charisma, Average Constitution, Low Wisdom.
C4: High Strength, Good Constitution, Average Wisdom, Low Charisma.
