Remember how Unke used his own children to keep living forever?
I'd rather not we do the same with this thing, because that's what I suspect it does.

That's why we do not have a reliable way to break curses. As for disease...
Slimy Doom (Ex)
Slam—injury; save Fort DC 21; onset 1 day; frequency 1 day; effect 1d4 Con damage; cure 2 consecutive saves.
Are we sure that Roland did not catch this?
(if we can be mechanically sure I'll be happy)
As for human sacriface – Zaia suggests that sarcophagus could be used without them.

[X] Break it for the silver
-[X] And claim a portion of it: 33%
This way we don't have to deal with icky sacrifice stuff and Antonio gets money back so his teeth dont grind to dust

We have better options to treat diseases now. Inge's Fortune Hex is helpful for that, plus we have Alchemical Antiplague available for an extra boost. Moru is still around for Lesser Restoration access, too.
Beyond the cost of trying to figure out how to use the sarcophagus and then paying the cost each time, wherever it may be, there is another issue with claiming it; keeping it. There is no way we get it out of here intact without people learning about it, and that kind of news eventually spreads. It's one thing to find a sizable treasure, there is lots of money floating around in one form or another, but this is a powerful magical artifact. If the wrong people learn about it (and in this world most people are the wrong people), they're going to come take it.
@Artemis1992, how about a 50/50 split instead?

I think that Marcella also can benefit from human sacrifice, and benefit us as well. But we use Marcella (and help her with her development) in other way.

Why are you even considering human sacrifice in the first place?
We are not Viserys, we very unlikely to do anything like that.
Marcella has been developing just fine without human sacrifices.

Maybe haggle with Aina about it?
I think fundamentally, when I find a bag of money in another person's basement, it's theirs, even if I had to shoo off some rats to get it. A finders fee seems fair to me, an equal share not.

Err... I do not cosider it, it's probably some misunderstanding.
I want to show that it is possible to use powerful magical things without human sacrifaces.
Also, this sarcophagus may be a valuable piece of knowledge in Esha quest of immortality. Not the direct use "sacriface your progenity and live (probably) forever), but different hints and work principlesю

Maybe let ourselves be haggled down to 50/50?

Considering that the slime thing was Unke, I'd rather not Esha become something like that.

By that logic we should not ever have nice things. People are going to come after Unke's armor, his gauntlet and Durendal too.
Things with this power are definitely rare. Esha is going to have a heart attack if we simply decide to break it. Research from it is simply going to bring a lot of useful results or theories.
We can decide to break it or sell it after we understand its purpose.

There are nice things, then are things kingdoms go to war to control.
Good point about Esha, though. Worst case, we can probably sell it to the Temple of Ikomi, if we do end up claiming it for our own right now.
[X] Before we decide on what to do with the sarcophagus, we'll first give Esha a chance to examine it alongside Zaia and Inge. Between the three of them, they might be able to glean something of the artifact's use and the cost for doing so.

I want another opinion, though I am inclined to keeping it intact, for one purpose or another.

Okay, with this I can agree.
I hope that approving vote is in effect.
[X] Give it over to Aina intact
-[X] Claim the right to study it and use it in non-nefarious purposes

[x] Claim it intact for now
-[x] Get Esha first, let's see what she thinks of it.
--[x] Perhaps there is a way to get use out of it without sacrificing people?
-[x] After that, we discuss this again.
Whatever wins

-[X] Unless it would be very easy to use for good without the need for magic/rituals/sacrifice that would offend our and our sworn follower's morals, we break it down for loot with the aim to get a 1/2-1/3 share of the value in silver.

@DragonParadox , events of chapter 7.6 happened on 15 of Ashinu-ezna, then the interlude took place on 12, then the chapter 7.7 on 14 and 17.
It's very disturbing that in chapter 7.6 Marcella received the first improvement...

As fun as it would be for that to be the time-stream messing with you... it's a C&P error. I did not copy the right dates. I'll go over the whole thing and see what I can fix in the morning
On that note good night guys, I was not as busy today, I probably could have managed two updates is I rushed, but you guys were in the middle of changing votes and I did no want to mess that up. Hopefully I can manage an update earlier tomorrow.
