Since the undead thingy is (obligingly) standing still, Čemifobbar will come in and get opposite it from Nyssa to Flank it. Then go into bloodrage of course and hit it with his +1 Falchion.
Feeling rather trapped, Kharamell takes focuses on defending himself.
Full Defense
Since the undead thingy is (obligingly) standing still, Čemifobbar will come in and get opposite it from Nyssa to Flank it. Then go into bloodrage of course and hit it with his +1 Falchion.
[dice=+1 falchion]1d20+14;2d4+16
Well it is GM's decision, but you only have to hear me and be an ally to get the effect. you are only 40 feet away or so. I would think you get the +2 bonus
Valt moves a bit to cast a spell to help with the invisible evil presence that attacked him.
Glitterdust centered on himself (Only if it is still invisible).
Iophiel, meanwhile, moves to engage the remaining armored-skeleton that is threatening Kharamell.
Tessara's blunt arrows crack bone and punch through rotten armor, knocking the skeleton to stillness.
Alexis' scorching rays pierce through the spot where the ghost is. You see the air shimmer and move as something moves even faster to dodge the fire.
Cem's falchion digs into the dark ghost dealing damage to the undead creature. It wails. Nyssa's borrowed axe bolstered my bardic magic and her fire strike through the creature.
Valt's glitterdust covers the small orb revealing a will'o'wisp.
Iophiel swings at the wisp (skeleton is dead) and slices through empty air.
"It's actually a ghost this time!" Kraig moves around Iophiel and swipes at the sparkly ghost. "Tell me ghost, were you too once a paladin?"
Krai's fist misses the small creature as it darts away past Alexis in the hallway. It tries to shock her with airy tendrils.
The wraith spins and reaches for Cemifobbar, its hand passing through the dhampir's armor and flesh.
Tess fires two regular arrows at the wraith.
Alexis gasps in pain, but keeps up her singing. She jabs the wisp again with the wand.
Kharamell moves to the back of the room and waits for a shot at the wisp.
Laser Rifle: RTouch, Fire
Čemifobbar strikes back at the undead figure again with his +1 Falchion
Tessara's arrows pierce through the incorporeal being, magic allowing them to damage the creature, if somewhat reduced.
Alexis fires a scorching ray from the wand, but the small creature dodges out of the way.
Kharamell fires the laser rifle and strikes the ceiling.
Cemifobbar slashes into the dark human, magical energies of his bloodrager quality allowing his weapon to not only damage but severely damage the undead.
"Come back! I want to redeem you with my fists. Alexis my dear, excuse me." Kraig moves through the sparkly ghost to try and cut it off.
electric damage
Kraig moves in and gets electrocuted by the wisp. He then punches the mass of air.
Nyssa studies her ghastly target, then makes her attack. She knows another attack like that last one will end her.
Valt leans against the wall and sends his eidolon to harry the wisp. The eidolon's sword misses the small, quick creature.
"Should we chase it?" he says.
The wisp electrocutes Kraig before continuing to fly out of the ship.
Kharamell lets the now useless weapon fall to the ground and draws his musket.
Nyssa sinks to a knee, exhausted. There are dark circles under her eyes, and a lock of hair over her right eye has gone white all at once.
"Normally I'd say yes. But honestly, I don't think I'm up far any more fighting."
Although I dislike giving up more time, I must agree, we will need some assistance to recover from it, plus I feel really weird here, sorry about it.
I hope Dinvaya can help us with that. Good think we did not killed her.
-Says Valt looking at Tessara.
When the wisp leaves, the malevolent energies inside the building disappear. The building turns into a regular Numerian ruin.
Nyssa and Cemifobbar find:
-a timeworn yellow gun with no slot for bullets (9 charges)
-a red technological suit of light armor
-a small metal square with a small slot
-a strange-looking circlet
Kraig takes a last hopeless swipe at the creature. "Damn you, you thing. It's getting away!!! Somebody do something!"
Kraig chases the creature out but it disperses into the fog.

"I feel rather delicate after that hit! But I did put that ghost to rest, it would seem." Čemifobbar comes out of his blodorage and then sits down, feeling quite fragile.
Who needs healing? I can help with wounds but not the draining effects of these beasties. For that we need time and rest.
Alexis looks at Nyssa.
several days I feel. Do you need some help, Nyssa She offers her arm.
Kraig returns angrily to the ship. "What was that? I didn't think ghosts were real. Nyssa, when did you have time to do this?" He kneels down with Nyssa and brushes the white hair from her face.
Kraig looks fine, at least outwardly. He always looks fine. It's really hard to tell beyond the hair, truth be told.
"It felt like that... That Thing was taking years from my life." Nyssa coughs. I don't think that mere rest will bring them back." Nyssa stands and hefts Čemifobbar's axe. "I can still swing an axe, but I'll tire quickly."
Nyssa stares at Kraig. "Do what? Nyssa knows her hair is tied back the way she always does for work.
"Thanks.' Nyssa hands the axe back to Čemifobbar.
"Glad you could make used of the axe, Nyssa. We should all get a few days rest in Scrapwall. I doubt we're in any condition to challenge anyone right now."
With the malevolent spirit gone and his allies cared for, Kharamell becomes more interested in the wreckage. He begins to study bits and pieces and takes notes.
Although not really harmed, Valt realizes how much wounded some of his companions are. Kraig took a nice beat, and both Cem and Nyssa look terrible.
As much as I hate to say it, we will need some time to recover from this.
We must try to make good use of that time.
Let's take what we have found and head back.
Yellow Gun Knowledge: Doesn't know. Fires some kind of energy.
Red Tech Armor Knowledge: Doesn't know. Some kind of light armor.
Metal Square Knowledge: Doesn't know. You think you insert it somewhere, and insert something into it.
Strange Circlet Knowledge: Records words. Translates spoken language into Androffan. Wear it on your neck like a choker.
I'm assuming when the message was spoken, someone else translated it into Androffan. Because aliens.
You leave the haunted canyon and wrecked ship and return to your Seven Torches base.
"So, anybody know what happened back there? Where do ghosts like that come from? Some of you look pretty bad. Not you, Nyssa, you're still adorable, but Čemifobbar looks tired."
"Kicking arse and looking good. It's what I do." Nyssa jokes. putting on a show of false bravado.
'Perhaps we should go ask Dinvaya about that vision and the dark ghost. Clerics are knowledgeable about things like that."
Nyssa gives Tessara a speculative look. She had been meaning to delve into the bad blood between the archer and Brigh cleric, but didn't seem to have the energy just now.
Čemifobbar is feeling too weak for bravado. "I feel wretched after that fight, even though I defeated that ghost. I doubt I could best a lame goblin in this state. I hope Dinvaya is capable of curing Nyssa and I. And I hope she is amiable to us despite our unfortunate exchange when we first her."
"At least we defeated that ghost, and put its menace to rest. There's some consolation in that."
Tess looks with concern at their front liners. "We need to restore your vitality. We should get somewhere safe and avoid combat until you are recovered."
"I agree, Tessara. Nyssa and I both have strength, but not vitality."
"How do we go about restoring their vitalities? Shouldn't killing the ghost have undone the curse or whatever? I think that's how it works. Maybe they have to eat its remains to gain its powers."
Eat a ghost?!? Alexis stared at Kraig. Eat what? Go and find it's body. That would be worth a story.
"I'm going to see Dinvaya. If she can't restore the life that damn ghost stole from me, I'll have to go back to Torch. As a warrior, I'm not much good right now."
Nyssa heads out toward the strange clock-work tower where the cleric of Brigh lives. She hopes Dinvaya doesn't feel the need to test any more contraptions on her.
"I Agree with Nyssa. Both of us are nearly infirm from that ghost we killed. I too want to see if Dinvaya can help us. She still seemed to want to help us all despite inauspicious first meeting."
Čemifobbar will accompany Nyssa to the clock tower.
Cemifobbar and Nyssa head to Dinvaya's chapel. The elven woman greets them.
"Oh, its you two again. What is it that you need?"
Nyssa and Cemifobbar ask her about removing their ability drain, and she replies. "Sure. Just pay me a small amount to cover my material expenses. Probably 200 gold apiece."
She doesn't really look at you but again is distracted with tinkering with a golem.
