my colleagues in the archaeology department warned me against partnering with an eccentric sinister billionaire to fund my research but now as i stand on the verge of the ancient temple door with him and his band of armed mercenaries at my side i'm feeling pretty good about it

You'll be fine in this situation, as long as you take these precautions:

Have a little child at home. Teach them about being responsible with power and give them a little trinket. It's vital that it's a slesson of being responsible that can bring you back from some kind of evil corruption. If it's about "believing in yourself", your death will be the thing that's driving the plot, instead of a redemtion arc. You want to prepare for the redemption storyline.

Just don’t read all the curses to them and stay out of the way until cleanup time.

Well yeah, both evil archeologists from the Jones trilogy use the armed help to feel things out.

Jones' Razor: The value of a treasure is proportional to the amount of bodies it takes to get it.

You're still at the doorway girl, send in some guards and see how much that thing is worth!

your death will be the thing that's driving the plot

But I want to live!

Can't I just show them a picture of my loving wife and kids that I'll go home to after this one last adventure?
