Mangalore listens to your questions and nods his head, pausing before he addresses Marcus. "Our burial mounds are all in a relatively small area, some are just one room mounds, and others, like Viliusk's are larger, and we have seen evidence of looting of some of the smaller tombs, but we know that this one is still secure. A band of adventurers killed two of my warriors who were guarding the burial areas, so we are vigilant of these types. But as of the last month, the tomb is still secure. We simply do not have the men to constantly watch these sites."
He points his finger at the roof of the tent at the mention of dead and says "Ah, I can't answer that. The spirits promise a peaceful slumber to all who live by the precepts of our beliefs, but it would be naïve to think that there is no possibility of undeath. I do know that Viliusk was buried with some of his guard, and his wife. Possibly others." He gets a thoughtful look and says "The tombs of our ancestors are usually not trapped or set with protections. The spirits provide the protection we need. I can't speak for this tomb, but I do not know of a mound that has been trapped."
He looks about, then says "I will have one of my warriors accompany you to the glen, I do not know the precise location of the tomb, but I know enough to get you in the area, and it should be easy to find, as it was the only one in that particular area. We have some men discreetly looking for it now as well, so perhaps by the time you would arrive we may know it's location. As I have said, material riches are of no worth to me. All I ask is that you retrieve the urn of Viliusk and give it to us, and any riches you find are yours." He gets an uncomfortable look and says "You are men of honor, I can see this. I'd just ask you to treat this resting place with respect."
He looks across your rank and says "So, Dutybound. Will you help us?"
