((Brundt was making an insight check to see if the etchings had any significance. I think he's still waiting for that. Otherwise...))
Klopas, though pleased with his spoils as a merchant, does feel some pangs of guilt as a druid.
He lays out Antigonos' body in respectful fashion, arms folded over chest and such, and looks for stones to build a burial mound.
Letting out a sigh while doing this as the others likely watched, Klopas comments, "He was a king, after all... Should at least be shown a little respect."
Goran rolls his eyes as time is spent burying their 'enemy'. "Was he really a king? Or just a crazy recluse?" Goran poses the question to no-one in particular, not expecting an answer. At Brundt's suggestion he comes to attention. "Let's get outta here". Clearly he's become bored.
"Interesting journey this has been so far..." Klopas comments. "I think this is the court Khea spoke of.."
Klopas was never afraid of a fight, but he did always wish to handle things peacefully if possible. You can't trade or build relation with the dead...unless you can...hm..
His thoughts trailed off on how he might be able to learn to communicate with the dead later on.
Beyond the entrance along the Khystonos River, the Court of Orestes is a crumbling, centuries-old tomb. Inside, its walls are made of thick stone blocks, and the ceiling is about 10 feet high. Unless otherwise noted, the crypt’s doors have no hinges; each is a rectangular slab. When the Khystonos is at its full height, the Court of Orestes is underwater. Since the river’s damming, though, much of the water has emptied through various cracks in the stonework. Some of the tomb is still partially flooded, though, holding roughly 2 feet of river water.
Map
A shallow stream fills only a fraction of the riverbed. At a bend, an unnatural arrangement of mud-caked stones juts from the exposed riverbank. It appears to be a crude stone lintel and posts supporting a rectangular slab roughly four feet wide and six feet high.
(Where are we entering from...room on the left? Nice map, btw.)
Klopas, in usual fashion, investigates the area for anything of value. Investigation - 18
Goran steps up behind Brundt. "Friend!" He blurts the word quite loudly. When nothing happens he shrugs and walks back to the river's edge and begins to skip stones across the water. "My cousin told me a tale of a door that opened by speaking to it. He was probably just full of it" trying to justify his random outburst.

Abrotonon takes up the axe and checks its balance......

Abrotonon assists with the burial and then plants the axe as a makeshift grave marker.
" You fought well, Old Bull. Get some rest."
Well, with a light spot of regicide now well behind us, I say we be off"

" Does anyone know anything more about the Court? "
"No, but I'd certainly like to. I say we get in there rather than later"
Klopas checks for traps and anything out of the ordinary as best he can.

((Sure. Why not?))
Klopas casts produce flame, and walks in casually with right hand on fire.

Brundt approaches the crude doorway and taps it with his staff to check it's stability
