Following the latest expedition into the Necropolis of the Tel, Bartholomew and Co. were interested in poking around the tomb of Goroborg, whom they assumed (rightly) was a Bulrathi scion of the Banu al Barraqi (known colloquially as the Barcidae). They had, per force, a purely historical interest--nothing to do with tomb-robbing, no sir!
Those interested gathered at the Kantor Kabljauhof. There was also discussion that perhaps they would venture into Tsur al Qadim and the ruins there, to confront the restless dead that are said now to walk there in such strength?
Either way, their path lay again through the Mourners' Gate and out onto the Pallbearers' Way, out east toward the Tel al Safina. And so they went:

| Goroborg and a human warrior |
- Bartholomew Pettibone (magic-user 8)
accompanied by Gan ad-Din (fighting-man 5) - Heijo (magic-user 6)
- Durham (fighting-man 8)
accompanied by Pako (renyu)
They report that the "new" Green Doors where a pair of ru'un were destroyed just two weeks before had already been reclaimed by the Ergas and their strange underworld minions, hard at work reinforcing them again. Also, apparently they ran into a passel of Klackons, and claimed to them that their purpose in the tomb was the interment of poor Avin, who indeed has not been seen now for many months.
Lastly, they also indicate that Goroborg's tomb was indeed quite interesting historically, and not necessarily interesting for tombrobbers--the upper chamber being merely a false tomb, the true tomb beneath being guarded by some sort of monstrous lifeform ... of which the party has no notion, for they felt ill equipped to handle it.

No sir! No tomb robbing - only historical research!! I say! We are scholars here, not bumbling burglars of the buried!
