They are met by Sithcundman of Necropolis Litharge and his assistants.
Sithcundman has two female assistance that stand on either side of him. They walk arm in arm, possibly to support Sithcundman due to his age and frail appearance.
Sithcundman’s assistant appears in Sandman # 70, on page 5, in panel 4 and on page 6 in panel 3.
