Clement swallows when he observes the skeletal "woman" unloading at Rhesus and laments his shield did little to protect either of them.
"I.. uhh... hit her hard! Or, knock her gun down!"
Clement looks at his dagger and suspects it will do little against bone, suspecting this woman is not much different from a mundane skeleton.

"What the--?!" Spasi says, reacting poorly to the hot lead filling his friend.

Rhesus grunts as the bullets impact him, but other than the one to the liver they just annoy him. Suddenly he's flying through the air!
Failing that, he falls back on his normal and strikes the creature herself.

Bibic worries, a little about so many shots, but sees Rhesus seemingly unconcerned, he inspires the party and takes a single shot at the creature.
As Rhesus comes flying in, a wave of unnatural terror washes over him, . Instead of attacking, Rhesus drops his hammer and flees in terror.
The creature watches Rhesus flee, "Coward," it mutters as Bibic's arrow pierces its shoulder and turns its guns on Clement.

Bibic takes a break from the action as Rhesus runs past him. He quickly draws a scroll of Remove Fear, and casts it on the big man before retuning his attention to the skeleton. ”It’s best harmed by magical bludgeoning weapons!” he shouts as he continues to inspire.

"Blunt? Only thing we have that's blunt is Reese's hammer... and errr, head."
Clement considers his options for a moment.
"Or, this might work..."
His hand aglow with holy energy, Clement reaches out to touch the pistol wielding "stranger".

Clement's spell fizzles when he touches the creature, but Rhesus' hammer slams home, hard.
The creature eyeballs Rhesus, "Back for more?".

Bibic clicks his heels together for haste, and unloads with his full load - all blunt-silver arrows to pierce the creatures resistances. He continues to inspire courage to help the party succeed.
Realizing he's done little to stop their adversary, Clement instead steps back to tend to his injuries.
Rhesus connects once and a pair of Bibic's arrows thud in.
The phantom wavers, but isn't destroyed. It opens up again on Rhesus.

Bibic clicks his heels together for haste one last time, and unloads with his full load - all blunt-silver arrows to pierce the creatures resistances. He stops inspiring courage, but his meaning lingers in the minds of his companions (lingering performance) and the benefits remain.

Round 4
Rhesus takes the last few bullets stoically, then responds with a hammer blow of his own.
With arrows and hammer you shatter the foul magics binding this lost creature. The look of confusion and anger leave the specter's face and it smiles as it dissipates. A door leads into the keep proper.
Bibic rearranges his quiver, pulling arrows from his pack and putting a few back. Once he's ready, he stands and joins the others.
"Where to Spasi? I like the door, but we could clamber through a window I suppose."
I'm going to need more arrows when we're done here today. Where do they all go? I miss too much. He grimaces.
Clement rests for a moment after tending to the recent gunshot wounds.
"Door, please."
He then wondered about the strange implements that were wrecking havoc recently (the pistols).
"What are those? Some sort of noisy wand?"
""Door, please."
Spasi nods, ready to follow Rhesus and Clem through the door...but not before doing a solid search of the gunner, especially for anything interestings, like guns and more guns.
"That was weird. Shot at us without even a thought. These people are really hostile to random intruders, aren't they"?
Rhesus heads to the door once the healing and looting are finished.
"Seems like. Maybe we should've knocked?"
He makes sure his wounds are closed.
"I really need to tie this hammer to my hand or something."
This enormous, rectangular hall has a thirty-foot-high ceiling. Taking up the entirety of the long northern and southern walls identical bas-relief sculptures of a headless knight riding a horse whose eyes and nostrils trail gouts of flame. In alcoves at each of the rooms's four corners stand imposing suits of black armor. Another door sits in the wall opposite you and the large double doors of the main entrance are to the west. The room's eastern end is taken up by a sweeping marble staircase leading up to an open landing a story above.
As you step into the room, the door slams behind you and a thick green mist begins to spill out of the two easternmost suits of armor, blocking access to the stairs. At the same time a bat-winged torso or a woman flops out of another alcove. Her long black tube of a tongue writhes as she addresses you in accented common, "Clever, but did you really think that the master wouldn't notice your arrival? This is his realm, children. Nothing passes here without his notice. We know why you are here. Oh, yes, but fear not, all will be forgiven in time. Now come give mother a kiss."

Bibic sizes up the opposition, and quickly flees the other way, dropping his beloved bow and heading back to the stables where it’s warm and safe.
Clement yelps in shock as Rhesus's flesh (and consequently his own) begins to melt.
"Yeagghh! Don't just stand in it!"
Clement sees what his holy infused power can do to regrow flesh as quickly as it seems to be melting away.
Rhesus dissipates one of the fogs, while Spasi's spell severs the foul magics animating the undead creature. It drops the ground, inanimate once more.
The remaining fog attacks Rhesus again:

Focusing on the remaining ooze, you quickly drop it and an oppressive silence descends over the hall.
Several doors branch off of the room. Who knows what sinister creatures lurk behind them.
Bibic, eventually , recovers and returns to the group. "Sorry about that chaps." he says as he picks up his bow, "She looked a little like my mother there for a moment."
He says nothing more on the matter.
He follows Spasi where he will go, but suggests perhaps C6 and work through to C8 and then C11.
Spasi looks at Bibic.
"Yeah, that was weird. It was like that time I tried to get you to enjoy the company of those who tengu chicks back in Magnimar. You disappeared so fast that I didn't know where you went. No matter. I took your place here and there, I suppose."
Once Clem and Rhese get themselves together, he's happy to follow them through C6.
Rhesus shakes his head while rubbing his suddenly dry and chapped skin.
"Don't worry about it Bibic, happened to me last fight too. Spasi I don't think Bibic is a tengu, maybe you're remembering somebody else's mother you slept with?"
Rhesus will examine the armor.
"Reckon we should load this up now or get it on our way out?"
Once healed he will move into C6.
Clement takes a breather while he works his divinity to mend his and Rhesus's shared injuries.
Clement shrugs at the armor.
"Looks heavy. We need some of those magic bags to start storing this kind of stuff we find... or one of those big portable holes."
You open the door to a single enormous, hollow cylinder. A broken spiral staircase winds up along the wall and ends at tangle of crossbeams and broken stone that extends only partly from the wall, the rest having fallen away to litter the floor. Far above, you see that part of the roof has fallen in, leaving a hole open to the sky. The floor itself is covered in muck, bones and other detritus. The whole room smells like a midden.
From above comes a piercing shriek and you see 3 pairs of reptilian eyes looks down at you from the heights.
