Searlas slowly flexes his fingers, shaking off the ghoul's paralyzing touch and looks over at Hania, standing rigid. He utters an explitive in common for all to hear, and then a few words in Ancient Azlanti, as though from rote without actually understanding what he's saying.
"$%@#! Morituri nolumus mori..."

The yellow ghoul tries to feed upon Muunokhoi..
+ 2 saves
While the blue one goes for Deris as he blocks their access to the ghostly Cassie.
Deris narrowly avoids its filthy claws.
He adopts a position of total defense
Hania is paralyzed and cannot act.
The ghostly girls sit round telling stories still.

Alexus can't seem to land his spell
while Muunokhoi fixes the worst of Searlas's wounds.
Searlas throws a bottle of holy water over the two ghouls, the pure water causing them more burns.
Hania finally comes out of her paralysis.
The ghoul in the tattered yellow shirt turns on Muuno once again
The ghoul in blue turns on
The other ghoul who attacked him moments before.
But can't land a blow.
Deris stays trying to keep the ghostly children safe.

Muunokhoi strikes the ghoul with the small wand, which causes it to howl in pain, almost as if it had been hit by a longsword.
Hania takes the hint and does use her longsword.
The ghoul in the blue hat falls to the ground, unmoving.
The yellow one, starting to dislike the odds, strikes back at Muuno
It then steps back into the entrance to the narrow corridor.

Searlas glares at Muusa, then spits a bit of blood. "I was in front... Another hit like that'd kill me... but if you insist..."
Searlas takes a deep breath midway through that statement and jogs forward, hops to his right, and does a quick roll and about face coming in behind the last ghoul.
Getting to his feet he makes a quick cut at the creature and whistles at Hariwini.
The bird takes a quick peck at the ghoul and flies back to give Alexus a clear approach.

The ghoul ducks Alexus's spell, but goes into his blade. Luckily for it, there is only a light cut. Muunokhoi stands paralyzed by the horrible creature. It looks hungrily at her, but the other living targets give it something else to think about than dining on her straight away.
Searlas and the bird peck at the undead, but to little effect.
Hania, girded by her faith continues to hack at the abomination with her longsword.
And with another solid blow, the battle finishes. After a few worrying seconds, Muunokhoi comes around as well.
Deris turns back to his ghostly daughter. He sits down and just watches her, taking a space in the circle where the ghosts are telling silent stories.
A quick check of the passages just shows rooms full of gnawed bones. No sign of the salamander ring. Only the door remains...
You finds a corpse...dressed in full bronze armour
- know history or nobility DC15:
Probably a Gebbite general from the armour
There is also a relief on the south wall that is quite interesting.
Taldor's first victory of Chelish rebels

"Interesting... this armor's previous owner was a Gebbite general. I wonder what sort of person he was."
Searlas feels along the edges of the skull for a solid minute before looking up.
"Hmm, and over here, a depiction Taldor's first victory of Chelish rebels, certainly noteworthy discoveries. Unfortunately, none of these are that which we were sent to retrieve... If we are all ready it may be time to..." Searlas gulps. "...brave the last door."
Searlas carefully inspects the door for traps, then presses his ear to the door to listen for anything horrid. Hariwini as per usual, mimics Searlas's movements in a mocking manner.

With only one door to try, you go through it.
The room beyond is similar to the one you left. Lots of gnawed bones. There are side passages with looted tombs and more bones. The main path goes down a large and ornate set of stairs, almost one hundred of them, that ends in a sold door.
Deris does't join you. He just sits with his 'daughter' and her friends, watching them tell silent stories.

With the frequency of storm waves approaching the shore, salt water erupts from cracks in the floor of this large hexagonal room. Foamy, blinding spray jumps in every direction, then drains from calf-height to ankle-deep before the next wave hits. Occasionally a length of black-brown seaweed shoots in and adds one more strand to a room that already appears draped in long wet hair. In each of the chamber’s six corners, a fluted pillar rises to the fifty-foot ceiling. Between each pair of pillars, an open arch connects the chamber to an attached space. Beyond the northwest and southwest arches, three tiers of recessed spaces form three massive steps. A stone sarcophagus rests on each step.

"As another man with a bird about him once said... water, water, everywhere, nor any drop to drink. Well... that salamander ring isn't going to find itself. Everyone on your guard. I don't think there is anything nice in this place."
Searlas takes a careful look about, then sends Hariwini up towards the top of the ceiling to have a look about.
|
|
Every few seconds a wave breaks through the cracked floor, sending spray shooting into the room, and all but blinding people.
With a certain dread, you also notice a disgusting smell. Like a month old corpse that is only half rotted.
Said corpse then emerges from the room to the west.
As anyone within ten feet of the corpse must make a DC15 FORT save or be sickened.
