Seren lobs a conjured acid bolt at the elf, but it only spatters against the wall behind her. She shakes off the stun, eyes a-goggle for a moment before she barks a sharp laugh looks around rapidly, side-to-side. "They're everwhere!" she hollers, then grabs a flask and gulps it down... and disappears.
The doorway to the west opens, showing a plush office beyond.

***
Melianthe shrugs and drops a Stinking Cloud to cover the entire office.
"Watch for swirls in the fog if she emerges, Absinthe, and stay back for a minute. I can't dismiss the fog."
;
As the noxious fumes roll into place, you hear some exaggerated gagging and choking noises from the direction of the office. "By the gods, who died in here?" A peal of laughter is cut off by a loud gag.
Absinthe slashes her scimitar, damaging the lead zombie critically, though it still moves to attack.
Downstairs, Segang sweeps his maul around once again, smashing two more zombies down. Only one remains animated on the ground floor.
Cherias pulls out his wand and heals himself.
The lone standing zombie downstairs steps up and swings at Segang.
;
Upstairs, Absinthe holds the doorway keeping the four undead penned up inside. The nearest attacks.

Seren will move to the southern window on the western wall, skirting the grease and open the window.
You hear a mixture of choking laughter and choking gags that moves south away from the office door.
<<<
On his turn Segang tries to drop the single undead in front of him. If he is successful he moves towards the stars, trying to avoid the grease.
"Seren, don't you have a scroll to see our quarry?" calls out the elven witch, wishing she could see Jolistina.
For lack of a better thing to do, she hexes the nearest zombie with Misfortune.
Seren starts, "Oh ... yeah!"
He whips out a scroll of see invisibility and reads it.
After Segang kills the Zombie, Cherias walks up the stairs, creeping cautiously up through the grease.
Absinthe stands her ground and slashes at her zombie opponent again!
"Somebody get that crazed Elf! Get her and make her understand what one shall do to her if she does not call off these disgusting meat puppets!"
Absinthe slashes her scimitar, cutting her zombie target nearly in half. As it falls to the floor boards, the next in line shoves forward to attack.
Segang swings his maul, sending the last zombie downstairs flying back with a sickening crunch. He starts up the stairs, coming just short of the greased steps. Cherias vaults past the Shoanti, nimbly traversing the slick.
;
Seren pulls out the scroll and casts it, causing his eyes to shimmer with arcane motes. He sees Jolistina clearly now, just a few paces away and still retching from the stinking cloud. She continues to move away slowly, pausing every few steps to dry heave.
<<<
Seren shouts out pointing, "She's next to the window in the southern alcove!"
Melianthe pulls out a scroll of Web Bolt and casts it at that square.
"Let's see how you like having strings attached to you, idiot," she growls at the paler elf.
Absinthe continues to fight the zombies, attempting to cut them down as fast as they move to engage...
Segang will use his movement to move up to and then into the square Serin identified. This will provoke. If the caster attacks that will make he visible and allow Segang to make a regular attack. If he finds her but she does not attack he will swing with a 50% miss chance. I am unsure how the web bolt will impact this.
Cherias starts casting Summon Nature's Ally II.
Segang will use his movement to move up to and then into the square Serin identified. This will provoke.
Segang will use his movement to move up to and then into the square Serin identified. This will provoke.
Melianthe draws the scroll and flies over to Seren to hand it to him.
Melianthe flies over to Seren and hands him a scroll. Absinthe continues to hold the doorway, chopping at the next zombie in line. Segang hops carefully through the greased steps and over to the southern alcove, looking around for any sign of the elf and ready to attack. Cherias begins to cast a summoning spell.

The three zombies push at the doorway, all trying to claw, gouge and smash Absinthe, but she parries and dodges their clumsy attacks.
Seren takes the proffered scroll and reads it, firing a Web bolt st the caster only he can see.

Seren casts the spell from the scroll, sending a glob of webbing at the elf. She sees it coming and just manages to lurch out the way. The webbing spatters against the window in a sticky mess.
<<<
"Here's another," says Melianthe a little hoarsely, and hands Seren another Web Bolt scroll. "Or grapple her; she's still sick as a dog."
You hear footsteps retreating in the direction of Cherias.
Where is the caster at? Segang calls out.

"She's behind Cheroas, right there!" Seren yells, pointing excitedly.
"Gonna take your advice, I think Mel"

Segang moves to where Seren indicated and swings his hammer. But it passes through the air without hitting anything. Someone end this damn invisibility! he bellows.
Absinthe continues to fight the zombies in the room, attempting to keep them contained if she cannot kill them.
"If you cannot find an invisible Elf, how about you assist in taking down these very visible undead? Besides, we want her alive for answers, not smashed to a red paste!"
Absinthe chops down another zombie with a particularly cutting blow. Segang runs over by Cherias and swings his weapon but only makes a whooshing sound.
Cherias's spell completes.
He steps back, drawing his crossbow, and loads it.
A halfling-sized ball of mud springs up from the floorboards, swinging a slimy pseudopod into the space between it and Segang.
The two remaining zombies continue to press Absinthe. The last is a woman dressed as a Galtan queen, her sprawling pearl-studded gown flowing around her and her elaborate, powdered wig nearly brushing the ceiling. Reaching around the doorframe, the other manages to land a solid hit.

Seren makes a break for the crazed necromancer and attempts to grapple her.
The elf reappears, apparently again in control of her innards, as she points a finger at Segang and hits him with a coruscating ray.
;
"I'll leave her alive..." Melianthe narrows her eyes and makes an arcane gesture.
Jolistina cries out and paws at her eyes. "Damn you, cursed witch!! I'll feed your eyes to you and see how you like it!"
"A sea hag said something similar. She's dead."
