"What could he do?"

He's the master and commander.

And he's got a badass evil side just waiting to get out.

Really, just fire shouuld work. I mean, that's one dessicated corpse right there - and one partially covered in cloth as well. Sure, it might still be around, but an ancient animated pile of cinders is somewhat less frightening.

Morou = The irritation one feels at being shut inside on a sunny day.

Fire IS one of the stereotypical weakness of mummies. And technically as they are by definition extremely dry, they should be flammable (except the bones). Another way would be to destroy the bones as much as possible or cut it up into tiny pieces (there are undead in fiction that are impervious to such mundane weapons though). Anyway medieval melee weaponry is better suited to battle things without vital organs than guns.

Elodoran - mummies do have vital organs. Those vital organs just don't happen to be located inside the mummy.

Rubberduck -
That's true about the evil side. I need to address that...maybe in the rewrite.

Eldoran -
I think fire is the universal favorite!

Ah! Ah! The heart's inside the mummy, though!

Weeeelllll...yes, but that's kinda picking nits. And besides, their vital organs probably look like those dried-out odds and ends you see in ethnic food markets. I'm thinking of a dried pepper I saw today...easily could have been a mummy's liver.
