Keeping his eye on Awkin, Truddig looks for a sign that Cat has moved into the room; he immediately darts into the vacated spot and lets an arrow--crackling with electricity--fly at the wolf-creature threatening her.

Fifi takes the brunt of the boney creature's slams, but her legs still standing strong, she continues to fight. However, she switches to a more defensive stance, allowing her shield to take the center of her body. Her hair swivels around inquisitively, as she raises a question-"Hey Gina! What do you think would happen if I tried to heal the creature? Will it gain a face and talk back?"-trying to ignore her growing pain.
plus 7 points of fire damage.
Trying to hold the line for her companions, some of the fire on hair automatically hovers over to her wounds, healing her for some damage.

Gina considers Fifi’s question, but also has trouble with jokes and rhetorical questions. ”Regeneration might do that exactly. They’re constructs, not undead, but we could try some healing positive energy against the bone one, could interact with the necromantic energy it needs even if it is not a typical evil.”
Gina continues the lecture. Invisible, She maneuvers over to flank with Fifi. And attacks, breaking Invisibility.
Truddig hits with his first two arrows, doing full damage to the creature.

When Fifi channels her healing energies, White seems to slow down.
Then it falls apart from the cumulative damage it has taken.
With the constructs defeated, there is little left to do here. You have explored the whole complex, repaired the damage you found, and restored the items to their locations.
As you emerge from the Muschkal Sepulcher, you see the sun setting over the Iron Peaks. There is a team of Shoanti who just recently arrived. They tell you that they are here to inspect what was done and reseal the site. They suggest it is best if you leave quickly.
The journey back to the meeting area is uneventful; the river is calm, with the sunlight fading and eventually transitioning to a crisp, clear night. When you reach the Storval Stairs, you find that the councilmembers other than Memory Tender have cleared out, likely returning to their homes.
Jia is there waiting for them. They are ready to use a Greater Teleport to transport the team back to the Grand Lodge.
Ambrus greets your group anxiously, requesting a report on how both the meeting with the councilmembers and the restoration of the sepulcher went.

"Went well, I think. Took some convincing--that weren't easy on no count--but they let us do the work, and we did it well. I think they're happy." Truddig gives his shoulders a slight shrug, and lowers his voice a bit. "It was definitely our fault. 'Twas just old-fashioned looting the first time around. Lots of obvious cultural signals just ignored. Glad we put it right."

”I’m about ready to pen an addendum to that Chronicle, it could be its own chapter.”
Gina lists off names of Shoanti leaders and the new bits learned about their personalities, and whether any new ones might be considered allies of the Society.
She talks about the guardians, the ghosts, and the tomb rituals, the battle haunt, the statues and names and sarcophagi, the honored skeleton by his well. The inactive bone guardians and the deeper corridors.
She continues about urns and another haunt in the depths that was precluded by Pathfinder actions, and of a trapped maze of corridors, and how there was still a battle on the way out.
In reply to Awkin, Ambrus says “Such mistakes happen. We do our best to avoid them and we certainly avoid advertising them outside of the society.”
“Thank you for your efforts. It is good to hear that you were able to convince the council and repair the Muschkal Sepulcher. Hopefully this will be enough to repair our relationship with the quays.”
“I will let you know once I hear from Cousin to All.”
——
A few days after that, Ambrus calls upon your group once again to meet at the Grand Lodge. He informs them that he has received a delivery from Cousin to All as a thanks for your efforts righting of the Lumketul's wrongs.
“These are the combined efforts of those council members that were satisfied with the outcome of this ordeal.” None of you are surprised that there is nothing from Sklar-Quah. It seems that there isn’t any contributions from Lyrune-Quah either.
The rewards include a Scavenger’s Stone, some flameleaf extract, and a treeform cloak.
As a reward from the society, he gives you the bag of holding that the items had been transported in, a +1 returning bolas and a pair of kinsight goggles.
