Yamask does know exactly where to look for the first weapon. It organizes all the other little Yamask with their little keys, and they float above the orichalchum door with its network of keyholes. They await your orders for which keyholes to activate.
Ah... If that isn't that Wishing Well behind the door, Shiva's having no fear of poisonous snake-Pokemon either. But that hypnotic and muggy calm is sending her a cold shiver down the spine and makes her frown in worry, something she would have NEVER guessed to experience since calmness is usually something nice and comfy for her? How weird. Now she's only MORE interested in opening that door. That voice though - she'd be suprised if that's a human voice, must be a spirit's or ghost's or phantom's.
She has an idea about which keyholes she'd like to ask the Yamask to unlock, yes.
BUT before that, she has something she'd like to tell/suggest the others before doing something with this door: (I must tagg all of you here, as it needs the thoughts and agreement of every partymember. So,
, , , ). "People.... We've defeated this nasty Genesect. It'd been a hard fight but we've made it, even if it was tirering and difficult for all the Pokemon that were fighting for us. Listen, how about we'd spend some time here to recover, find a good amount of sleep and then proceed? It gives us and our Pokemon time to recover, and this place looks protected from wild Pokemon too."
Shiva gives an inquirering look towards Cofagrigus and his Yamask as well. "Noble Cofagrigus, since we are responsible for you having your kingdom back, would you allow us to linger here for a little longer in order to rest? We will certainly be guests to your place that you won't find yourself complaining about."
Mechanics:
I'd be up for that. We've used up so many Heal Pulses, a lot of our Pokemon are still weak and we have no idea when the next place where we can set up comes, so I prefer to spend the night here (so to say, there's no day-night-circle within the Ruins anyway). It'd auto-revive Raphael and Yena and set all of our Potion-usage back to zero = no penalities for further Potions on the same Pokemon.

"That sounds like a good idea." Meaning, unless GM says we can't, Spira, too, is in favor of a quick/not-so-quick rest.
Terra would also approve of resting in the Royal Chambers too (so long as the Ghosts are okay with it/don't bug the group), as its more than perfectly logical/reasonable to do so after the group just fought a Legendary Pokemon into routing. He worn out from the battle himself from overexerting himself in making sure his dark darling made a SPECTACULAR PERFORMANCE (though he tries not to show it or make his tiredness too obvious), so having some respite would do him a world of good and help him keep doing his given duty to utmost perfection/ability.
(Since this course of action has 3 Votes, then its a go - go assuming the Grinning Ghost has no problem with them hunkering down in his domain for a spell. Well, Iron?)
"Sounds like a excellent idea to me."
While Heart was resting, he decided to train his Earthpower and Fire bless. This time he decided to train in created a little ball of fire with light property. To act as decoy or illuminate power in dark places. He also train his ability in break curses on himself. Let's see if he can break the mummy curse.
You know the drill . Insight+Knowledge+Earthpower.
Cofagrigus and Co are willing to let you spend a night in their kingdom.
Since you have 5 Earthpower, you're eligible to break the curse with a single success. Harder curses will get much bigger penalties, but Mummy (and Forest's Curse, etc) is very standard.
Insight: 3
Knowledge: 3
Earthpower: 5
(1)(2)(5)(4)(4)(6) (4)(5)(1)(4)(2)
You break this curse with ease! Your rags fall away, revealing your normal clothes and normal face.

Yay! Shiva's giving the noble spectral coffin a deep, deeeeep bow to express her thanks and respect towards them, Azu and to a lighter degree Primal Glaceon join in that gesture. "A wise and benenvolent king you are, I thank thee honestly for your allowance to stay here. Rarely ever a Pokemon featuring a Ghost Type is as kind as you are, Noble Cofagrigus"
She's pretty tired though even if having had just one battle the current 'day', but the intesity of THAT battle was easily the one of four or five moderate ones. Shiva does not do anything that'd differ from the usual things she does before turning in for the 'night' within the reconquered kingdom of Noble Cofagrigus.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Thanks to the hours of safe and well rest, both Yena and Raphael are back on the boat with 1HP each, Azu is completely fred from pain as well. Shiva handles her butterwolfly and archangel carefully and with an extra-portion of loving attention, she quickly notices that despite they both are still weak and exhausted, thy absolutely don't show that on the outside. As long as his father's girlfriend and human alpha leader of the pack is fine and around, they are certain that everything willturn out fine! Shiva gently asks them to hold on rest within their respective Balls for a little longer.
Pretty fast, Shiva's back at the door that will lead towards this Wishing Well sporting a hypnotic calmness and spirit's voice, she kindly waves the Yamask carrying small keys to her. "So... Lil' ghosts, could you please put keys into the holes that all together form an ankh? Maybe that'd open it....!"
She watches with awe and eager, Azu and Primal Glaceon by her side and ready to defend Shiva shall something nasty be ahead. If an ankh doesn't do a thing on the door, the next thing Shiva tries is letting the Yamask put in keys in the form of some waves, then in the form of a stylized well, then in the form of the crown Gofagrigus has shown them before fighting Genesect. Finally, she lets the Yamask put in keys in EVERY keyhole of the door. If all of that does nothing, Shiva kindly asks Cofagrigus Themselves about a hint on how to open this door.
Talking about Earthpower, where is Marco Warren? I could take the chance to continue the breaking curse thing.
Honestly, Nathan is incredibly unnerved about taking a long rest here. He's not comfortable with the idea at all.
...but on the other hand, he totally understands that they all just took a massive beating, and that taking a break while they have the chance to do so might be for the best.
He's not about to sit around and do nothing, though.
---------------------------------------------
Gonna keep this simple since I'm currently experiencing some rather heavy writer's block right now. Nathan will do a training session for his third encounter. Solosis, Emolga, and Snivy.
----------------------------------------------
And yeah, Nathan would remind Heart about breaking the curse on his dad as well.
I'll advance the Game Day for simplicity, but Marc's not eligible for another Earthpower treatment just yet.
It is now Day 80.
Shiva's on the right track. Inserting enough keys to fill that ankh shape flung the door wide! All the Yamask start making a weird wailing song bidding you farewell. Below you hear the bubbling of an immense amount of water! And that otherworldly "song" from below has not ceased, the whole rest through.
