"Right you are m'lady." Guntram heaves the door shut behind them. "No need to lock us in, though, I reckon." If the bolt slips back into place at the closing of the door, Guntrum will work the lever to leave the door unlocked, in case of the need for a fast exit.

"I don't like the looks of this place," grumbles Highbough. The leering statues unnerve him. "Some of you have been here before? What's our next move?"

"Poked our heads in this far, but not in enough numbers to go any farther," Guntrum replies. "The place is well-travelled, to judge by the dust patterns. Didn't want to be noticed so we could come back in greater numbers".

Josiane looks up at the stone guardians towering above them, their vaulting shadows dancing on the walls of the tomb in the flickering lantern light.

"The sons of Gottfried were Bastian, Franz and Gothliff," she says, looking upon the cruel graven images; "Presumably three of these statues represent them. The fourth I know not. Their Father Arnhold, perhaps?"

She points ahead; "Yonder corridor was lined with upright coffins. That is the obvious path to take." She glances at the narrow naves to either side with some trepidation; "Though it might be prudent to establish what lurks down these side tunnels before proceeding. As Dorgan says, the walking dead have attempted to surround us before."

She shudders in the unnatural cold; "Beware. This is the chill of the Unquiet. They are close."

Her grip tightens on the hilt of her sword and she touches the crystal-encased Enigma of Thuul to her lips.

"Make you ready."

Olaf says, "Let's check the right side, and then the left before we go down the center. "

Putting action to words Olaf starts down and to the right.

Gustave draws his blade in readiness, and eyes the looming statues warily. He adjusts his helm and shield and flexes his neck.

"Right then...walking dead...and vampeers...", he mutters, sounding less than convincing.

Desmond mutters to Mondes, "You keep a sharp eye above us and to the right and I'll watch our left and check the floors."

He tightens his grip on Mads' Cold Iron Axe and follows the burly fighters down the right corridor.

Dorgan grips his axe tightly, flexing his other forearm under his new shield. His head is on a swivel, watching the other two passageways while his friends head down the third.

"Most things burn," Ulric remarks, "living, dead, or undead. I have the ability to summon even more fire now, Gustave, if the need arises."

Ulric moves forward with the column ready to provide what support he can.

"Yes perhaps", replies Gustave in a whisper, "but I am more a man of things of the flesh", he continues logically, "whether it is in open battle or...well...", he falters, casting a guilty glance toward Josiane, "...anyway, the point is I am happy to admit I am less than comfortable fighting things that have already been killed at least once."

"So if you have things covered, then I've got your back old chap", he finishes, apparently not entirely comforted by this arrangement.
