Couscous apparently found the barrow, and crawled in through the wormtongue's burrow entrance, and, following the sounds of commotion found the party. They were, of course, happy to accept his participation. At this point, it was nearing 8:30 at night. They had been adventuring since early that morning, and exhaustion would set in soon if a good rest wasn't had. Before they turned in, however, they resolved to explore the final room, to the east, mirroring the chapel, that they hadn't yet entered. The room was a weapon repository. Seven tall footmen statues held weapons of fine design. A moldy mural covered one wall, feat...
