"Oy, I know ya did Jack, don't get upset with me. A man's gotta make sure his coin purse is full so he can treat pretty ladies to the finer things right?" Kanus said laying on a thick innuendo. He then smiled and winked. Turning back to Ambrose he said, "Sounds like ya've got us for at least tonight mate"
"One appeared just near here, two farther towards the back wall, and the other two down towards the south entrance. It's tough to track these things down - the source could be anywhere. It's even possible it or he or she isn't even around anymore and we're just dealing with the lingering after-effects. I mean I've searched the whole area pretty well and found no trace. I haven't started opening crypts or anything - that would be too disrespectful to their occupants. But perhaps with a crowd we can make some more progress. As to compensation, that's between you and the enclave, though I would be surprised if they didn't look after you that way - especially if we put this menace behind us."
"So, a fresh set of eyes on this problem could help - Do you have any suggestions as to how we might tackle a patrol tonight?"
(OOC: There are generally going to be rewards for most tasks you complete, however do remember you are somewhat indebted to the enclave and the Harpers. You can use the map to figure out what you want to do here).
(OOC - is there perhaps a higher crypt or mausoleum that is taller than the rest that could give us a better vantage point and view of the whole cemetery or at least the areas where skeletons were spotted?)
There are a number of larger crypts scattered throughout. It seems feasible that if, between the five of you, you camped out on one you would have a good view of most of the area. Of course if anyone sees anything you'd need a way of notifying the others.
Kanus scratched his head a bit, "Do we have a map of this area, maybe we could mark down where those creatures were fought off and find a central area?"
"You mean, like, triangulation right?"She asks, and if anyone gives her funny looks she amends. "What? My mother's a wizard, and she likes to use weird words like that. Not that, I like, understood most of any of it. But they were said." Jack curls up into herself, and looks away. "If there are any lingering or active traces of necromantic energy, I can, like, see it." She glances back over to Ambrose. "Assuming you haven't, like, already tried that. If we are doing proper patrols, then I vote in pairs. Place makes my skin crawl..." The last part she mutters as she looks around the area.
(@All Jack has the far more subtle, good ol'... Wait for it...)

Gargan looks pleased that Jack recognised what he was planning "Indeed, triangulation exactly. You are a most learned fellow Mistress Jack, and quite intriguing too! Perhaps we could start by Sir Everdawn taking you to the locations of these first encounters and you can see if you can sense any lingering traces of magic? Perhaps also Cloudfur might also be able to..." He hesitates for a second as if not totally sure if it's the right thing to ask but kind of shrugs and carrys on: "smell something that could give us some clues? Have I misunderstood friend? While you do this myself and Kanus could patrol elsewhere so we are covering more ground should a new occurrence happen?"
"Sounds reasonable eh? I can also sense the undead so long as they are close" Kanus took a look over the straps on his armor, pack, sheath, all of his gear, tightening a few of them down further; seemingly readying himself to move out.
This post has potentially manipulated dice roll results.
Cloudfur
The tabaxi nods to Gargan and then *poof* before you stands a white giant weasel who starts sniffing around the area and listening for anything unusual
With a quick chuckle at Cloudfur's transformation Gargan nods to Kanus to show he is ready to go whenever he is. "Excellent, that will prove most useful. My own senses are particularly keen in the dark should we need to avoid drawing attention to ourselves in the night."
Jack had simply nodded, wanting nothing more in hindsight to be done with the area. A sharp gasp escapes her seeing Cloudfur transformation. Just as it might look as if the Harper might go skipping after the weasel, beaming all the while, she stops short hearing Gargan again. Blushing, Jack tries to grab Ambrose's hand and start dragging him down one of the paths opposite of the others. "Alright, time to move on, see you later, bu-bye now!"She says in a rush.

Cloudfur
Looking back at the rest of his party after they each spoke he turns to Sir Ambrose and says "You have my services for a long as needed Sir knight,"

OOC: Which Entrance are we coming through? (Not sure this level of detail is needed, but I'm home from work so figured just in case :)
Cloudfur bounds through the snow playfully and runs up to Jack and sniffs her, before bounding off towards Kanus.

Kanus watched the transformed Cloudfur with a boyish curiosity and amusement, "Now I've seen it all..." he said with a chuckle.
You're at entrance #2.
