Two hits! The first wraith (son) dissipates in slashes ectoplasmic shadow stuff. The second takes the hit and remains.
Trusting that Ayita can finish off Mother Wraith, which should be badly hurt, and seeing Nasir losing health quickly, Frantino will raise another mind barrier as a swift action and charge across the room at Daughter Wraith, getting into flank with Nasir. He'll provoke the AoO from Mother Wraith as he does so.

The thing is in pretty desperate shape, but remains alive (?).
Yazhi cowers and flees out of the presence of the wraith.

HIT! No crit.
Because Frantino added Ghost Touch to Ayita's earthbreaker, it can crit incorporeal creatures. Wraiths, ghosts, etc. are creature type Undead, subtype Incorporeal.
Incorporeal Subtype: An incorporeal creature has no physical body. An incorporeal creature is immune to critical hits and precision-based damage (such as sneak attack damage) unless the attacks are made using a weapon with the ghost touch special weapon quality. In addition, creatures with the incorporeal subtype gain the incorporeal special quality.
This is one of the big reasons Frantino has been applying ghost touch to weapons, especially Nasir's scimitar. I do wish the description of ghost touch in the Core Rulebook made this exception clear, it's merely implied when it says it does damage to incorporeal creatures "normally."

Yup. She didn’t confirm the crit.
Ezranadir will cast a barrage of Intense Magic Missiles at the wraith between Nasir & Frantino.
[dice=Intense MM Force Dmg]4d4+4+3
Nice. Nearly max dmg!
The wraith sees an opportunity to attack as Frantino's mind barrier flickers out and he begins to summon another.
This rule was also buried in text and should apply to spell-like abilities the same as casting spells. It's not super important in this case because Frantino made his Fort save (phew!) but I wanted agreement on this since it's such an important part of Frantino's combat repertoire.
Attacks of Opportunity: Generally, if you cast a spell, you provoke attacks of opportunity from threatening enemies. If you take damage from an attack of opportunity, you must make a concentration check (DC 10 + points of damage taken + the spell’s level) or lose the spell. Spells that require only a swift action to cast don’t provoke attacks of opportunity.
Yup. She didn’t confirm the crit.
LOL, oops! Sorry, I've gotten so used to 2e crits just happening that I forgot about the need to confirm crits in 1e. My bad, my eyes skipped that line.

Feeling guilty about misjudging Mother Wraith's health and leaving Ayita behind, Frantino charges back to his original spot and attacks.
,
The combination of Ayita and Frantino destroys the remaining wraith, who dissipates with a haunting scream.
Who struck the killing blow? None shall know.
Frantino looks on with concern as Doc tries to treat Nasir and Ezranadir.
If there's nothing he can do, he'll ask Ayita to help examine the urns and gems behind the bars. First he'll recommend that we double check for traps. Then, since the urns seem too far to reach, he'll use mage hand to try to move them one at a time over to the bars. It seems unlikely they'll squeeze through the bars, so he'll try to hold each one in place with magic so that Ayita can pop out the eight gems one at a time.
Nasir takes time to catch his breath after being drained by the wraiths.
Frantino closely examines the bars and then peers at the urns, looking for traps and maybe a way in. Could some of the bars be removable?
+1 for traps
If there's no way to physically get the urns without rolling to "bend/break bars" , he'll try mage hand.
I assume life link would have continued to transfer damage from Frantino and Nasir to Doc while he was focused on casting lesser restoration at the end of the battle.
"It appears that the bars were opened by this once magical orb. It looks beyond repair so maybe they can be bypassed and opened manually."
You realized that an appraisal would require closer examination than the bars allow.
However, the use of mage hand is clever and successful. A closer inspection reveals that the urns are only brass and relatively worthless. Each of the eight gemstones on the pedestals is easily pried out. Of the gems, seven are flawed quartz crystals worth 50 gp apiece. The gem furthest to the east, however, is a red jasper worth 1,000 gp.

Also, each urn is completely empty, as if never used.

No traps that you can see. Other than the haunted skeletal remains of the wraiths in their original lives, of course.
Frantino is pensive as we go up the stairs.
"I'm more than a little concerned about your health, Ezranadir and Nasir. This place probably holds more serious dangers, including the possible ghost of a dismantled runelord, and it seems that the only way we can heal you, and help Doc fully recover after his return from death in Magnimar, is to go back to Magnimar and pay for some restoration spells. We could sell the treasures we found here and upgrade equipment as well, plus buy another wand of healing to augment Doc's capabilities. This sepulcher has been untouched for thousands of years, if we can get the main entrance to reseal there shouldn't be any harm in taking a week or two away and then coming back fully capable. Are we in such a hurry that we risk our lives right now? In our dream, Sorshen said that Alaznist has arisen but not that she was an immediate threat. Not that we should necessarily trust the word of one runelord about another..."
When Frantino makes contact with Captain Antefalle, she snickers a bit, “I’m not surprised you want me to sail up there, considering what I’ve heard from other sailors over the past few days.”
She goes on to explain how Magnimar’s waterfront has been abuzz lately with stories that not one but two ships were chartered by separate groups to travel to Rivenrake in the last several days, and Tyalee’s Whim will be the third. Captain Antefalle can tells you that the first of the other two ships was the Lordim Racer, a Magnimarian merchant-transport similar to Tyalee’s Whim, hired by a group of brutish-looking thugs for passage to the same location: Old Man’s Launch.
The second was Frijaya, hired by a smaller group of “well-dressed fops” who paid well on a larger ship bound for Kalsgard in the Land of the Linnorm Kings to sail close enough to Rivenrake for the trio to debark on their own magical folding boat. Little is known about this second group or their intended landing spot on Rivenrake (and the Frijaya is, assumedly, well on her way north to Kalsgard by now), but the Lordim Racer returned to Magnimar a day ago with the crew recounting a harrowing tale of having put their six passengers ashore on a longboat only to then watch in horror as the passengers murdered the two sailors who had transported them.
The Lordim Racer’s captain made the decision to abandon the bodies and skiff to Rivenrake after it became apparent her crew would have mutinied if she’d forced any of them to shore on the notorious island. The Lordim Racer didn’t remain in Magnimar for long, and it left just this morning on a journey to Korvosa, but it sounds like the group they’d transported were cultists of some sort who had planned the murders all along.
"It was only a four day trip here from Magnimar so a round trip with a few days for spellcasting and outfitting should only mean about a dozen days away. The Sihedron Council might be able to interrogate Damil and get some additional information for us before we return, like where their folding boat is."
