Godfrey sheathed his scimitar and prayed to the Dawnflower to reveal the apparition to him.
Godfrey's spell reveals the undead still in the same space where it disappeared.
Nibiru takes a step back and catches everyone, including the undead, in her conical channel.
"The dead coming for our bones! Don't they already have enough?"
Elis manages to shake off the fear, and casts Glitterdust in the place she last saw the undead. "Let's see if it can hide from dancing dust."
Godfrey can see the spirit take the brunt of Esrian's channeling but avoid most of Nibiru's. it completely avoids Ellis's glitterdust.
The creature lifts up a storm of objects and hurls them at all around it. It misses most of you, but a large divan slams into Esrian.
Godfrey moved over to the apparition and swung his scimitar at the unholy presence.
Esrian staggers as the furniture slams into her unexpectedly, but does double duty, healing herself and her allies as she channels energy to destroy the ghost.
Elis lets another disrupt undead at the creature.
The ghost lets out a shriek as Esrian's healing energy forces it to discorporate. The manor falls silent once again.
"I'm going to repair the barricade in the dining room," Godfrey told the others. He went into the formal dining area, and started moving the table and chairs back into position against the now-shattered picture window.
Esrian relaxes for a moment as her wounds close and the ghost dissipates, then nods in agreement as Godfrey returns to the dining room, joining him in re-barricading the window.
Elis will head upstairs to block off the doors to the rooms that had undead coming through them before.
Nibiru checks on all the occupants, making sure they are safe and undisturbed before helping Elis.
William moves into the Salon to repair the barricade there.
Doctor Oscilar and his assistants are all still safely barricaded in the basement. Lucvi moves to assist William while Esrian and Godfrey work together and Elis and Nibiru move upstairs to start barricading the doors there.
After only five minutes, you can hear slamming on the barricades in both the salon and the dining room again. A few seconds later, though, three spectral shades come screaming through the upstairs doors, phasing through the barricades and reaching for Elis and Nibiru!
"Regroup!", Godfrey cried, and rushed back into the entrance hall, preparing to repel the new invaders.
Esrian follows Godfrey right on his heels, overtaking him as they enter the foyer.
Elis takes a step back and casts Disrupt Undead. "They are coming in from up here." she yells down to the others.
The shadow is barely fazed by Elis's spell. It flies forward and sticks its hand through the elf, wounding her and tugging at her shadow. The second shadow flies up to Nibiru and critically hits her, completely tearing the gnome's shadow free from her body! The stolen shadow takes a few moments to get its bearings before turning on Nibiru with malevolent intent. The final shadow swoops down over the railing, rushing to get into melee with Esrian.
"Esrian, look out!", Godfrey cried, moving into the sanctified ground to engage the shadow in front of her.
Esrian skids to a stop to keep herself from running headfirst into the shadow, "Sarenrae, cleanse this creature!" she prays, and a burst of flame erupts from her fingertips to engulf the undead.
Her spell cast, she changes course, retreating farther back into the sanctified area to stay out of reach from the monster's cold grasp.
Elis tips over the banister backward away from the creatures. "I'm sorry Nibiru." She tries to avoid as many attacks as possible.
Nibiru wrestles with her shadow, pounding it back into the earth.
"You know where you belong, nasty thing: in my feet!"
William makes his way quickly back to the central hall, readying his violin as he moves.
As William rushes to join the fight, Godfrey slashes at the shadow, but it evades his strike. It dodges Esrian's burning hands, the few flames that lick it seeming to do no harm at all!
Upstairs, Elis quickly leaps over the balcony, landing on the lower floor without a hurting herself at all. Nibiru swings her hammer at her stolen shadow, scoring two solid hits.
Unfortunately, the two greater shadows gang up on the gnome, flanking her and scoring critical hits as they plunge their shadow hands into her chest. Her lifeforce falters as she falls to the floor. The shadow spawn swoops down to follow Elis, grazing her with its touch. The other shadow touches Godfrey, tugging on his own shadow to weaken him!
Godfrey blocked the shadow's attack with his shield, and slashed at the undead with his scimitar.
Esrian moves towards the staircases towards Nibiru, avoiding the shadow as she does so, but sends off a pulse of cleansing energy at it.
Elis takes a step back and sends a Disrupt Undead at the shadow who just attacked her.
Sharp notes again abound from Williams instrument as bolts of force fly to one of the shadows on the balcony.
