As king, Mustard granted Dr Black permission to dig, with the understanding that the proceeds from selling artefacts would be split evenly. Mustard has no qualms about selling off his country’s heritage, as long as he gets his cut to support his lavish lifestyle.

Perhaps Scarlett thought that killing Black was the only way to regain her plane and her liberty?

A few weeks into the excavation, Peacock discovered an amulet that she identified as having once belonged to an ancient high priestess. Since then, she has been acting very strangely. Colleagues have reported seeing her speak in tongues and perform arcane rituals as if she believes herself to be the reincarnation of the high priestess. Perhaps Peacock now believes it is her sacred duty to protect the temple from Black?

Perhaps Green discovered that Dr Black has been selling his finds on the black market for personal profit?
