Caerlan doesn't see anything dangerous but does notice drag marks over the tall grass leading into the barrow tomb and odd markings, the same in Brother Gareth's desk and back at Dumat's. These symbols all eerily similar. The barrow ahead is giving off a faint smell of decay, earth or other wise something very old is ahead of the party leading underground.

"So we are going underground, investigating the drag marks, and the occult writing and maybe rescuing someone, can we at least sit down for a little while before we go on? I could do with catching my breath."
(can we have a short rest?)

"Look.. If you want to sit around in this stinking hole for an hour, I guess we can.... It sure doesn't smell like there is any delicious food down here.. that is for sure." Golver would grumble.
Kat rolls her eyes. "But there might be other interesting stuff!" she points out with a grin. "I guess we can catch our breath if you guys want..."
If we do decide to take a short rest, Kat will spend the entire time fidgeting and tinkering with something from her pocket that routinely emits large quantities of smoke.
After a short rest the party ventures into the barrow. The smell of decay lingering around them as the cool and damp earth encloses them. The walls are mostly dugout earth with bits of stone here and there as if to brace the structure.

Golver Short rest! 10
Feeling a little better after nursing his wounds for an hour or so, Golver would draw his longsword and make his way down into the burial tomb. He would extend his lantern out in front of him as the flames reflect across his gold and silver scales. Peering into the dark, the armored dragonborn would push his way down farther into the tomb. "Stupid tomb.... stupid werewolves... no food down here... " Golver would grumble as he disappears into the dark.
Golver notices the barrow opens up into a large round chamber but there is yet another set to steps going further below. The area around however on this 'first level' is lined with alcoves with little shrines in each area. There are twelve alcoves in all.
Religion check to better understand the alcoves and inner barrow.

Sometimes a Nat 1 tells a better story than a Nat 20 ever could.
Golver would look around and scoff. "Pretty sure this is just some big animal burrow that dug into some kind of landfill... " The dragonborn would say as he moves to the different alcoves looking for anything of value. "I mean look at all this junk!"
Kat has read about the barrow tombs before. This is the preparation chamber where the bodies are taken to wait until their funeral pyres before they are burned. There ashes are then interned below in urns. The alcoves must a one point represented prominent families in the area but to Kat the whole place looks long since abandoned.

Golver would quickly recoil from the item he was examining down one of the alcoves. "Eew, dead people junk.. Dragonborn have much more respect for their dead, we build them beautiful crypts.. " He would say as he wiped his clawed hand on his armor. He would then point his lantern down the path leading farther down and continue his decent.
Caerlan takes a moment to check the area around the entrance carefully for any sign of the unusual or anything dangerous.

Kat grins. "This was where they interned the dead! All the alcoves were for the big deal families, but this place has been abandoned for ages!"

Golver sees earthen stairs leading down but the lantern light doesn't quite reach the next level below.
Perception checks please, everyone!
