Carrufikus thinks this is more manifest than a haunt. It's likely some kind of invisible undead, perhaps a poltergeist! If so it'll be visible soon.

Tal curses under his breath. Something invisible...

He tries something new... He draws his smoking longsword, and waves the smoke about. (description says it CONSTANTLY BELCHES SMOKE) He makes a circuit of the room and tries to use the smoke to get a hit for the location of his invisible foe.

Quickdraw the sword, Stride about the room, and 2x Seek?

I'll allow it and grant a Hero Point for creativity. You need a action to get close though.

Tal quickly tries to use negative space to locate the foe, and it works! The smoke swirls unnaturally just north of Bibi, but the way is difficult squares with trash are difficult terrain. You've got one action left

Elena retrieves a wand tucked into her belt, uncertain how she can help. She keeps out of the room for now. "Unless there's something in there worth seeing, come back out and close the door!"

She steps back and erects a magical barrier to protect herself.

Peldur prepares as Bibi shouts. Suddenly all becomes obvious. A ghostly, skeletal figure rises up amid a whirling cyclone of tools, plates, utensils, and other loose objects. Peldur immediately jumps in, before he can even think twice.

The sight of the thing is terrifying Each creature within 30 feet must attempt a DC 21 Will save, becoming frightened 2 on a failure. On a critical failure, it’s also fleeing for as long as it’s frightened. On a success, the creature is temporarily immune for 1 minute.

The undead creature does not faze her. She's read about worse.

Indeed, Elena does something a bit more dangerous for herself. She retrieves The Whispering Reeds, moving forward. She reads a passage aloud.
Whispering Reeds vs Undead, DC 27 Will: 5d6 ⇒ (4, 6, 5, 1, 4) = 20

Whispering Reeds:
Activate command, Interact; Frequency once per hour; Effect You read aloud a phrase from the book and target a single incorporeal undead creature within 30 feet. That undead creature takes 5d6 positive damage (DC 27 basic Will save) as portions of their incorporeal being are consumed in patches of seven equally spaced holes. Each time you use this ability after the first in a 24-hour period, you are exposed to the Empty Death.

Will: 1d20 + 13 ⇒ (8) + 13 = 21 Elena opens up a book not meant for the likes of her. She reads aloud and the effect is immediate as seven distinct holes emerge from the undead's form, causing it to screech from beyond the grave. It immediately sets her on mind adrift in things not meant for mortal ken. Will Save.

The scream ends abruptly as it hurls detritus everywhere. It then returns to invisibility.

And gets ahold of some bone.

Carrufikus opens up his self to Desna's divine light and casts a three action heal to engulf the entire room in butterflies and light!

"Reinvigormend!"

Heal III: 3d10 ⇒ (4, 7, 4) = 15

Carrufikus disperses vital energy in a 30-foot emanation. This targets all living and undead creatures in the burst.

Having no other options, Bibi looks carefully in case the thing has moved

Flat: 1d20 ⇒ 12. Carrufikus, save your Heal spell!

Peldur punches the air where he last saw the creature. His fist slows for a moment and suddenly all the trash falls to the floor!

Success! Each hero earns 40 XP.

Retcon, due to the fact that I did not need to cast Heal to catch the undead. I will heal you up without the heal spell.

The gnome begins going to work healing his companions the old fashion way, with bandages, salves, balms and time.

"No arguing, sit down and rest!"

Working through his own wounds, the cleric takes 20 minutes to dress the wounds of his patients.

Bibi starts an exhaustive search of the room and contents while Carrifikus does His Thing.

Just make sure you patch YOURSELF up too, shorty!

Bibi looks around, and finds only trash.

Noroc rummages about in his brain for what he might recall about spirits like this.

Occultism: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (19) + 8 = 27 Ooh! Maybe!

When a creature dies, and for whatever reason its spirit is unable or unwilling to leave the site of its death, that spirit may manifest as a poltergeist: a restless invisible spirit that is still able to manipulate physical objects. Many poltergeists perished in a way that resulted from or has led to extreme emotional trauma. Considering what you know of Belcorra, the result isn't surprising.

Noroc sadly shares what he recalls. Belcorra was the worst.
