Scarman's Enforcer Mummy-Control Rifle

A bolt-action rifle of outdated military design, carried by Marcus Scarman's mummy enforcers during the assault on the lodge. The weapon's blued steel barrel bears faint corrosion marks from repeated exposure to desert moisture, its walnut stock splintered from misuse. Scarman’s servants handle the rifle with unnatural precision, chambering rounds with jerky mechanical movements as they fire without hesitation into the night, their human forms long since consumed by Sutekh's will.
