A skilled woodsman could find some concealment on the way: tree stumps, brush, fallen logs, clumps of reeds.
Maybe we should check around and see what the far side is like, just so we know all of our options.
As I recall, the last time Klokulf tried sneaking around, a bunch of gnolls took notice, so the concealment on the way to the Mound may be of little help to him.
If Klokulf had a good idea of what one of these lizardfolk looked like, he could possibly approach the Mound openly---he has
disguise self as a domain spell. That probably would go poorly too.
