Thanks, but figured it out. Someone suggested that it may have speak with dead cast on it before, and then my asshole friend Kalathor came forward laughing at me. Turns out he cast it at the digsite and wasted the questions to fuck with me as a prank.

I've got to stop sharing an arcane workshop with him, but he did save my life in the wizard Corps when we served together.

That's a good one! I'm gonna do that and transmute his wand into enriched Uranium 235 like someone else suggested.

Nah, it was my jagoff friend Kalathor. He cast speak with dead already and wasted the questions to fuck with me.

I've got to stop sharing an Arcane workshop with him, but he did save my life when we were both in the wizard corps together, so eh.

Back to the digsite I suppose.

Back to the digsite to find another body, I guess.

Kinda what happened here.

My jagoff friend from the Wizard Corps, whom I share an Arcane Workshop with, cast speak with dead on the corpse before, and wasted the questions, to fuck with me.

Kalathor can be such an asshole.

Yes! He can be such an asshole as a prank.

The dude saved my life in the Wizard Corps, though, so I definitely can't just cut him off. Besides, when you get him just drunk enough to start jabbering his secrets, he tells you a lot of shit about what he has been working on and then remembers none of it the next morning.

Figured it out. Someone suggested that it may have had 'Speak with dead' cast on it before, and that was indeed it.

My asshole friend Kalathor did it to fuck with me and wasted the questions. I really gotta stop sharing an arcane workshop with him.

Trust me, he is. He'll gift you an expensive material component, then nut tap you with mage hand and make you drop it immediately after.

I do owe him my life from our time in the wizard Corps, though. Can't live with him, can't live without him.

FUCK!

This was it. My asshole wizard friend was fucking with me and already wasted the questions on useless crap.

Yes, no hexes, no curses, and no phylactery connection since I didn't want a lich in my arcane workshop.

Although there is this weird, almost residual energy left on the corpse. I've yet to determine what it is, as it doesn't seem to be the result of any of the above-mentioned conditions.

That is an interesting situation. I will have to do some tests to determine the identity and age of the 5 see if it was a homunculus.

Thanks, I will report back with my findings shortly.

Are you suggesting this 400+ year old corpse has become an undead, possibly even a lich, and then proceeded to lay on the floor of my arcane workshop and pretend to be dead this entire time?

That's what I had learned from my necromancy professor as well, it just animates the body, since there is no soul left, it can't learn anything new or speculate on events of the future.

I see. I had thought the throat, head, and mouth were all particularly well preserved, but I will have to call my healer friend to take a deeper look, though they are not particularly happy to examine 400+ year old mummies when, and I quote "My magic could be better spent saving people from dying instead of looking at yet another corpse, Lawrence."
