"We could do both!let's say take the night patrol and in the morning we could do some detective work!Need to know how it got access?did he work with someone?" 

"Patrolling at night, we're going to have to rest in the day time Piers. Its not good for our health to go 24/7. I think your ability to talk to animals is our big advantage. Can you do that more often?"

She looks around 

"Maybe we could set a guards on the tombs? You know with animals. Maybe bribe them with cookies or something? Get Kess to go and  pay for some cookies and bring them back or even use goodberries." 

she says as she follows along

(btw you're not stuck with the list of spells you have Piers you can change them once a day. And with the actual spell you can cast it ritually)

"yeah I can...well define often cause usually take some preparation..Venti could lend us a hand!not of course with an eye on it.haha...Seriously its a good idea to have spies at his place not just at this mausoleum .There are animals all over the cemetery "

(Thanks for reminding me thai have about 49 known spells lol)

(Decisions, Decisions 😐)

"well. . ." he looks down at the skeleton's bones scattered around "i think you could deal with him. altough if you feel like you can't defeat him, never hesitate to ask for aid. animal guards? huh" he laughed a bit "thanks for that silly image on my head, i needed a laugh after this. well your friend is telling the truth, it's important to know who made this ritual, but you can't discover anything if your energies are depleted. a good night's rest equals good results, remember that."

"oh i have some berries, i'm sure the birds, and maybe those rats that are running around would be glad to help for some free food!they always do." says kess, sitting in piers's shoulder"

"well i shall resume my Patrol, do you need my help for anything more?" ambrose asks the group

“I think we’re good here.”

"Don't worry we'll send for you, if we need you Sir Ambrose lets get back to patrolling."

"Its been decided then!"says Piers as he looks the now destroyed hand thinking the madness behind that artifact 

“Ok guys, where’s that map? Where to next?”

Cat unfurls the map.

“Thanks Cat. How bout the larger building north of us?”

Cat looks at the map "We could check the big one southeast of us next. If its locked, unless there's some kind of forced entry I wouldn't feel comfortable breaking into it."

(I think, the one with the floor plan is where we are at.)

Then Cat adds "We should be stealthy. Being visible would just let them know we're here."

“Sounds good. Why don’t you take  point .”

Cat thinks about the hand "I suppose we should also check to see if there are any fresh graves and undead since the thing woke them."

She leads the group if they follow, to the large mausoleum that's no more than 30 or 40ft from them. Checks the doors and around the building for signs of activity. She tries to keep a low profile while investigating and urges the others too.

Rolled in game log.

Stealth: 24  

Perception: if some one helps 22. if not then 6

Drux 

Stealth 19 

Perception 22 

Piers assists in any way he can Cat looking for details. As they are looking together whispers "Do you see dead people?" (stealth 20)

"At home" Cat replies in a whisper referring to the manor. She also helps Piers with his stealth.

walking outside of the mausoleum, you see a few bones and scattered undead on the ground. it seems that the ones of the mausoleum weren't the only ones that were raised. a trail of shattered bones lead to the South, probably where Ambrose came. When you approach the mausoleum, you see that it is closed, and there are no signals that someone tried to enter it. looking around, it does not seem that there are any more living skeletons, only the remains on the ground. 

Drux notices that on top of a Dead tree, there's a crow looking around the graveyard. he does not move, and just inspects the place. 

While trying to be stealthy, piers accidentaly steps on a bone, making a loud cracking sound. Drux then sees the crow quickly shifting his attention towards the source of the noise- and he sees that the left side of the crow's head is crawling with maggots. It quickly flies away, leaving the city towards the north, not making a sound
