[LPF] Barrow of the Forgotten King

"Oh, I've never actually tried to do it on a real lock. But when I have nothing else to do, I sometimes work through tumbler permutations in my head. I find it quite relaxing."

She looks at the ivy at first with excitement, but it quickly changes to disappointment. "Oh, bother. It's only hedera helix. I really need to find some maderensis or colchica."

"Well Mia, if we assume your people are not sloppy, this means trouble. But, that is rather obvious, because they would have come home already if there wasn't trouble. It is not like they are going to sit out here and have a party for days on end. Well, some people would, but they are a little strange in their habits."

Qalabash Baram, human staff magus

[section]

Despite the half-orc's daunting size Qalabash can't quite remember what Jonas said it was that he did and so he steps right up to a position behind Mystie. Every few moments he shifts his grip from a one-handed grip to a two-handed grip as if he can hardly wait to get started with the bashing.

"I guess we don't need a key after all. Unless one is required for the mausoleum itself but the way this looks," he says as he motions towards the gate just seconds after shifting to his one-hand grip, "The way this looks we won't need a key there, either.

Is this positioning acceptable to you, Master Psalter? If not, I can step back by Mirra..."

~ Day 4 16:03 - Kingsholm Graveyard Gate ~

Captain Desarna agrees, "No, they would not have being sitting out here partying. They were due back about an hour ago. I… I am afraid the situation is more than they can handle. I will wait over there by that tree and report back if you have discovered something. If you need the key to the mausoleum, I shall be available."

She is very apprehensive about the situation as evidenced by her expression and demeanor. Yet she is forcing herself to remain stalwart enough to be available within a few minutes if you find something or need her help.

Mia walks away from the gate, watchful of her surroundings away from the graveyard as she heads to a large oak tree about 20 paces away.

The big half-orc rumbles an answer back at Qalabash as he moves up beside the man. "For now, I'll just walk beside you, eh? If we get into tighter quarters I can handle myself well enough, but as it will be difficult for you to see around me I'll be happy to watch your back, sir." Sausage size fingers grope at his weapons belt for a moment as he ponders his options, and then unhooks a heavy flail in preparation for whatever may come.​

Mirra unlimbers her longspear and then pats the pockets on her bandolier to assure herself of the contents. "I believe I'm ready with fire and a cold iron blade. According to everything I've read, they're two of the best methods of dealing with undead." She pauses for a moment before continuing thoughtfully, "I imagine they would work fairly well against living targets as well, if the need arises."

Qalabash Baram, human staff magus

[section]

Qalabash motions for Captain Desarna to wait a moment before she steps away from the group.

"A moment before you head off to await our discoveries, Captain, if you please. Where do the preparations for interment in the mausoleum take place? In the mausoleum itself, or some other building?"

Qalabash also asks a question of his companions. "Are any of you skilled with the finding and following of tracks? Perhaps it might prove beneficial to scout the area around the mausoleum before we go tramping through it. My own skills in that area are sadly lacking; I couldn't find a footprint if it stepped on me. Ha ha."

"As it happens, I have some small skill in the finding and following of tracks. I take it you'd like for me to try and figure out who - or what - has been in and out of the mausoleum recently?"

Without further instruction, Jonas moves ahead of the party somewhat and casts about for sign as the group approaches the crypt.​

~ Day 4 16:03 - Kingsholm Graveyard Gate ~

Captain Desarna replied to Qalabash, "Either they complete the preparations for the body in town before bringing it up here, or they do it in the mausoleum itself in the first chamber after the entryway. Most people prepare the body inside the mausoleum, so it is not unusual for a family to spend several hours or even an overnight vigil inside."

"There is only the one building up here."

Jonas lead the way into the graveyard. The graveyard appears old but lovingly cared for. Fresh gravel covers the path and flowers, not weeds, grow beside the tombstones. He notices that the gravel has been stirred up recently. There are two sets of booted footprints leading towards the mausoleum that appear to have been made by people running. One set is smaller than the other.
