Dismounting and moving back to his horse Spike, Thantos keeps his eyes on the Tomb. Leading Spike towards a tree a little distance away, Thantos starts to remove his saddle and harness.
"Sorry Spike it looks like you won't be able to come in on this one and it is too dangerous for you to remain here alone with this amount of evil nearby. I'm sure the magical steeds here can take care of you until I come out. Take care faithful steed."
With that said, Thantos removes the saddle and harness and puts them at the base of a tree. Removing his spare weapons, rations and some rope from the saddle bags he loads his pack for the adventure ahead. When ready, he covers his saddle with leaves and branches and walks back to the group, Spike walking close by nuzzling Thantos' arm.
"Take care my friend." Thantos says as he gives Spike's mane one last stroke and Spike moves off to stand by the stallion.
"Magical stallion, please take good care of my horse."
Looking back up at the ziggurat, Thantos looks for some sort of opening. As he does this, he loads his crossbow.
"I'm thinking we may need to climb some of those roots up to the ziggurat and perhaps go in through the top of the pyramid. I bet there is an entrance in through the temple at the top. What do you all think?"
