Advice needed: Stairs to Tomb 2 blocked by Sarcophagus

I've not come across this Tomb 1 layout before and can't figure out how to get past the sarcophagus to my SE in the screendump to reach the stairs down to Tomb 2 (the other two stairs are in the inaccessible area reachable only by coming up from Tomb 2):

All I can think of is either to use a scroll of blinking to leapfrog over it (if that would work) or random teleports in the hope of landing in the inaccessible area. Any suggestions from Taveners appreciated - is there a secret trick?

Normal blink (spell or evocable ability) is less valuable than scroll of blinking.

Or if you know some Earth magic, you can LRD it...

Or disintegration should work.

lobbing an Orb of destruction also works I think.

Thanks for the ideas, problem solved. Being none-too-bright and wearing GDA the higher level spells weren't an option but Seigurt's suggestion of using /of disintegration worked and the way is clear!

Just for the record, removing GDA to cast some spell is really doable in this kind of situation :p
