Actually it would be pretty damn funny, if not somewhat real-world historically accurate. Think about all the tombs of ancient Egypt that were looted.
Ha, yes. And it wasn't just 19th century treasure hunters either - plenty of tombs were looted when the mummy had barely even gone cold.
Either way, the whole vault thing is just stupid.
It's easily one of THE biggest deus ex machinas I have EVER seen in any work of fiction. Aw, poor wickle Eragon is in a tough situation and doesn't have an easy out? Don't worry, here's a cave full of free power-ups! Oh and also all the ridiculous contrivances so far have now been explained away so the author gets himself off the hook at the same time! Yay!
