(YBA) Kalath in Wicht's Lair III.

"I will search for him, and do what I can."

Kalath leaves, and re-traces his steps back outside and onto the path of the dead, making his way back through the intersections until he finds the unnamed path leading north.

Kalath takes his leave of the man, Rettville and proceeds back out of the caverns. Nothing and nobody hinders him in leaving.

He walks back up the stairs and enters into the cemetery and then proceeds south. The fog is still thick, but Kalath can make out the path

He passes the "Street of Tombs," and the "Path of War before finally arriving at the path going west which the sign proclaims to be the "Path of the Dead." It is in fact the path that Kalath had come off of after leaving the Great Tomb of Wicht.

Heading west Kalath soon comes to a path leading north. He can just make out the cobblestones through the fog. There is no sign however that he can see proclaiming the name.

This could be the path.
 


The fog swirls thickly around Kalath as he heads north but the path runs straight and flat. It is hard to judge distances, but eventually Kalath makes out a small white stone building on his right, only about twenty feet from the path, the front lit with a single torch.

Making his way over to the building, Kalath sees that there are words carved over the door, illuminated by the torch light. They read "Here lies Retburrg, who tried to burgle from Wicht."
 


It is dark inside the crypt and as he walks through the door, Kalath barely sees the lumbering forms in time. As he dodges a fist flying his way, Kalath is aware that there are four zombies guarding the way in.
