This post has potentially manipulated dice roll results.
"Let's check the entrance." He says to Fargrim. Hopefully with some [action]help[action], he can try and check for any fresh tracks entering and leaving the graveyard in the past few hours, beyond their own obviously.
"If he works here often he may have a safe hidden place nearby that he took refuge in. If nothing comes from this we should double check the crypt nearest the cart for such a space."
Looking around the heavy foot traffic has hidden any specific signs of any single trail and you cannot tell if anyone has come or gone in the last few hours.

The door opens with a loud creak and there in front of you lays another Sarcophagus with alcoves lining the room covered with stone plates. The dust on the floor looks like it had not been disturbed in many years.

The locks click and the crypts reseal. If you were to guess you would think that it is most likely about 4am. The stars beginning to disappear in the sky as the darkest part of the night about to begin just before the first light of dawn would come in a couple hours.

"I guess that's that, then. Hopefully he made it back. Let's head back to the guard tower before heading back to the guild for a rest." Fargrim leads the way back to the guard tower. As he turns away, it's possible to see that he's strapped the shovel to his bag.
"Whether he is back or not we will need to wait for the Sun to do any better searching. Not to mention we all need some desperate rest." Solastor wearily beings following Fargrim back to town.
The group heads back to the city feeling a bit dejected at having not found Andrew but filled with more questions after meeting with Solastor's dead parents. Upon reaching the gate they are greeted by the guards who let you in without a word and close the gate behind you.

Fargrim leads the rest of the group to the last remaining crypt. "If he's not here, maybe he fled back to the city limits. Let's see, though. Arynn?"

"Agreed." Arynn says, heading off to the final crypt.
(The crypt is locked as you discovered earlier)

Time to take out the picking tools again...

Arynn works the lock and it turns with a click. The door cracks open but would need to be pushed heartily to open.

Impatient with the slow progress and ready to go to sleep, Alan steps up and kicks the door in once he hears the lock click.

"Welp. That's that. Andrew's probably back in town. Let's lock this bad boy back up and head on back." Alan said matter-of-factly and turned around.

Arynn will close the place up again. "Let's hope he's returned." He says. He will spend a moment trying to re-lock the doors again.

Alan did his best to saunter back into town, determined not to let anyone see him as anything but a returning hero.

Sleep time? It'll be nice to have spell slots again haha
As they pass through the gate, Fargrim asks the guards, "Did Andrew the gravekeeper pass through this way tonight?"
Yes, sleep.
