And with that - Seamus's last arrow strikes the ghast and it collapses on the floor, dead.
Vincent quickly tries stabbing the last ghoul.
He then steps back 5ft.
Vincent manages to stab the last ghoul in its stomach.
"Mrrp"
Kaa bites the ghoul, but doesn't manage to drag it down. He gives Howard a mournful look. His next claw doesn't quite connect but the following claws do, eviscerating the ghoul.
Seamus stops singing watching the funny little lizard rekill the undead thing, "Glad he came along."
"Mae'n ddrwg gennyf, dwi ddim yn eich deall chi? Aklo os gwelwch yn dda?" Kaa cocks his head curiously at Seamus.
Sorry, I don't understand you? Aklo please?
"You guys sure keep strange company..." Ilki looks at the lizard dubiously. "But I suppose anything that's willing to kill those nasty things is good.."
Seamus looks at Howard, pointing to Kaa, "Can we teach him normal talk?" He then turns to the little swamp dweller, "Dywedais ei bod yn dda daethoch chi draw.'
The party waits until Dakash has recovered from the paralysis and the smell of the ghast, before proceeding. They search the room but find no loot.
Vincent hears more ghouls at the next door and determines the door is closed but not locked, nor trapped. He kicks open the door.
"Wel, rwy'n colli ac ar fy mhen fy hun ac rwy'n gobeithio nad oedd unrhyw un o'm ffrindiau wedi eu sugno yma naill ai ..." And Kaa gives a sad sniff."Amcana mai chi yw fy ffrindiau newydd sy'n mynd i'm helpu i fynd adref? Neu ddod o hyd i un newydd?" Kaa looks at Seamus and Howard trustingly.
Well, I'm lost and alone and I hope none of my friends were sucked in here either...
I guess you're my new friends who will help me get home. Or find a new one?

Howard pats Kaa consolingly.
"Fel y dywedais, byddaf yn gwneud yr hyn y gallaf i naill ai fynd â chi adref, neu i ddod o hyd i un newydd i chi."
"Yn y cyfamser, gadewch imi osod y blas ofnadwy yn eich ceg i chi ...'
Howard then uses Prestidigitation to clean Kaa's teeth, and give them a 'minty fresh' taste, before passing him some more trail rations, by way of thanks.
In a by now familiar action, Howard grants Vincent the ability to hear the voices that he hears all of the time...
"Cwl! Chi yw'r ffrind gorau erioed!" Kaa answers as he nuzzles his head against Howard's shoulder.
Cool! You're the bestest friend ever!
Vincent taps himself with the wand and then Dakash.
D:
Vincent steps into the room within reach of one ghoul and stabs it with his spear, readying it to fend off the others when they close in.
Vincent impales one of the ghouls in its chest and it dies.
Seamus steps forward, in the place Vincent has vacated and fires two shots glowing with arcane energy at the unbordered ghoul, hitting it in the knee.
Kaa chomps into the ghoul, but does not manage to drag it down. "Anrhydedd! Mae angen fy ngheg yn golchi!"
Urrrggh I need my mouth washed!
Dakash moves straight in and attacks the yellow ghoul.
Dakash manages to smack a ghoul on its arm.
It starts biting and clawing at him.
Dakash is bitten and clawed by the ghoul and but manages to fight off the paralysis.
The other ghoul tries to attack Kaa.
The ghoul manages to bite and claw at Kaa, and Kaa fails to fight off the venom and is now paralyzed!
Kaa tries to make his frozen vocal chords function but only manages a terrified meep.
Vincent moves to stab another ghoul nearby.
'Need to keep the little guy safe.' Seamus steps into the room and fires two quick arrows at the ghoul Kaa was attacking. "Cadwch eich pen i lawr Kaa."
Vincent does not manage to pierce its leathery hide.
Seamus puts an end to the ghoul harrying Kaa by shooting it in its eye socket, sparing Kaa a grisly fate of getting eaten up.
Then he fires at the other ghoul but it dodges out of the way.
The remaining ghoul tries to tumble next to Vincent, but it is not quick enough!
The ghoul tries to bite Vincent back! But Vincent sidesteps.
Kaa continues to give pathetic meeps, while Ilki cowers outside the room.
'blast, everyone is too close to shoot.' Seeing Kaa is safe, Seamus steps to Vincent's left, drawing the shortsword and stabbing at the undead creature.
Seamus stabs the ghoul in the chest and it falls to the ground, dead. Kaa calms down some after Howard pats him. The party searches the room as Vincent and Kaa finally regain control over themselves but find no loot.
Kaa immediately runs towards Howard, cowering behind him after his ordeal.
The mist has thinned and the party can see 20 feet. And two ghouls, trying to stand out of the yellow fog that seems to have shapes of an indistinct crowd.
The mist has thinned and the party can see 20 feet.
having not put up the shortsword, Seamus strides forward and attacks the undead thing on the left.
Vincent tries to open the door but it won't budge. He remembers a wall of rocks cordoning it off from the other side.
As Seamus steps off the path, he hears hoofbeats and sees a spectral unicorn staring at him from the fog.
Calling back to the others he asks, "Hey do any of you guys see a unicorn?"
Only if you step off the path do you see it. It isn't bothering you. For now.
Seamus cuts into the ghoul's leg and it growls at him.
"No...." Vincent says, a bit concerned at Seamus statement. He steps forward 5ft to stab the ghoul near him.
Vincent manages to skewer the ghoul nearest to him in the torso, killing it.
As Vincent steps off the path, he hears hoofbeats and sees a spectral unicorn staring at him from the fog.
"Ok. There is in fact a unicorn..."
Vincent realizes that this unicorn is a manifestation of a haunt. It appears to be guarding something, and will attack the party should the party approach the thing it is guarding.
Dakash moves into the area and swings at the ghoul.
As Dakash steps off the path, he hears hoofbeats and sees a spectral unicorn staring at him from the fog.
Dakash cracks the ribs of the ghoul, who takes offense and starts biting and clawing him back.
It manages to bite him on the shin, but Dakash fights off the icy chill coming from the bite.
Then the unicorn dissappears and reappears with a *BAMF* noise south of three of you, still staring at you balefully.
Vincent moves to finish off the ghoul.
He also shouts out to the others the details of the unicorn.
The ghoul sees Vincent coming and dodges out of the way!
Looking from the unicorn to his shortsword then back to the ghoul, he lets out a "huh." and then moves around Vincent, going to the other side of the ghoul and slashes at it again. Calling out to the unicorn "Unicorn are you a good guy or a bad guy? Were here to help."
Seamus manages to hamstring a ghoul.
Vincent recognizes that the unicorn in question is not sentient, but more akin to a construct in behavior.
The unicorn continues to stare at Seamus, unflinchingly, without any indication it hears or comprehends what Seamus has said.
Seamus strides forward and attacks the undead thing on the left.
