[OoC: Digging a hole about 4′ deep, by 3′ wide, by 4′ long takes anywhere from 1 hour to 4 hours. It depends on the ground conditions, and the ability of who’s digging the hole. Yes, digging a hole requires skill, ability, and stamina; but interestingly strength is not a key attribute. Obviously a grave is slightly larger. ]
You quickly realize that even though all of you are experienced adventurers with most having high strength and Constitutions, this is probably going to take more time than you have. But the Father already has a couple of graves (6' in length) already partially dug to a depth of about 3 feet. This will cut down your digging time substantially! You just have to dig it deep enough so animals don't uncover the Burgomaster's body, and quickly enough before your sunlight is completely gone - about 5 minutes.
[You each will get a shovel and I need you each to role a strength or constitution check (your choice) and you must roll as close to your stat as possible without going over.]
