Jory didn't like ghosts. He shifted to be next to his new friends.
"I use the spook salt arrows right??"
Jory was ready to unleash a deadly barrage at the ghosts.
Ah, there it went. The needle took a while to actually point, though... Maybe she was supposed to use the Wayfinder once a month or so, to keep it in good working order?
"Yes, ghost salt arrows or force effects. Beware their moaning, and try not to let them touch you."
Spiritual weapon or fear protection? Tough choice, but hopefully she would be able to act quickly enough to suppress the panic if someone actually succumbed. With the wave of a hand, a spectral mace appears next to the nearest one in her field of view and swings down.

Jory grabs the ghost salt arrows, focuses his energy to fire faster, and lets five arrows go in rapid succession. He fires until a ghost is down before moving to the next.

Hmm...how do I not hav that in my tool kit? Must remember to add that ghost blanch stuff... Rallas thinks out loud as he rounds the corner and in one swift motion draws and fires his bow at the same ghost Jory hit, hoping it would add to the dwarf's assault and fell the undead.

Inga's eyes narrow as the ghosts materialize.
"Wonderful. My specialty."
She says under her breath.
"I'll take care of this blue one. Nobody harm it!"
Inger calls out as she turns to the blue ghost.
"Klaus, help the others... for now."
"Yes, my love."
He replies, knowing that Inga will soon transform him to incorporeal form. Better to fight ghosts that way.
Inga's expression turns to sadness and pity as she locks her gaze on the blue ghost. She speaks in a calm, sultry tone.
"Ohhh. You poor thing. Do not be afraid. I am here to help you. I will ensure you make safe passage to Pharasma's realm."
Her emotion turns to calmness as she casts calm spirit (DC 17 Will save).

He then ends his howl of fury.
Assuming that passes, see if anyone else seems to have failed. If so, cast Remove Fear on up to three PCs (Natharanak should be fine by himself for a few rounds)

Granny is suddenly hit with a burst of empathic panic as Natharanak flies up and away. Well, at least that'll keep him away from the fighting for a bit. The panic shouldn't last that long, if she remembered right.
Granny steps into the doorway, to get a better view of what's going on, before redirecting the spiritual weapon to the ghost near Kahwen.
Attack:1d20 + 13 ⇒ (18) + 13 = 31 Force damage:1d8 + 4 ⇒ (4) + 4 = 8
She then points the wand she'd drawn and sends three force bolts into the same ghost.

Jory calmly waited until the others had made their attacks, then unloaded another barrage on the last hostile ghost. Jory had honed his craft so that all but the best of cover (total) could stop him.
Delay until everyone goes, then fires until the last hostile ghost is down ghost salt 1:1d20 + 14 ⇒ (9) + 14 = 231d8 + 11 ⇒ (8) + 11 = 19 ghost salt 2:1d20 + 14 ⇒ (8) + 14 = 221d8 + 11 ⇒ (3) + 11 = 14 ghost salt 3:1d20 + 9 ⇒ (11) + 9 = 201d8 + 11 ⇒ (7) + 11 = 18
If still up, Jory draws into his internal focus.

And conjures up an image of a perfect shot

Inga hears several shots fired from Jory's bow. Thoroughly impressed by the dwarf's marksmanship, she raises an eyebrow as she turns to see the apparition riddled with corporeal arrows.
She then turns to the ghost that she has calmed.
"I would very much dislike that to happen to you. You're going to be nice now, right?"
Sorry. Just some roleplay. I'm puzzled about who's turn it is. I don't see an initiative list/post anywhere.

The "red" ghost falls from the barrage of arrows and the force damage.
"Do you want to tell us what's got you and your friends stuck here?"
Not sure if this'll work, or if there's even time to try, but let's see! Granny doesn't know about anything down below unless someone, so is probably not going to have anything else to send the spiritual weapon against.

Inga lets Granny do all the talking since she is so kind and sweet.
Inga whispers out of the corner of her mouth to Granny,
"When you get a chance, ask it how we can put its soul to rest."

Seeing that Granny is trying to get valuable information on how to permanently end these ghosts' tortured stay on the Material Plane, Trokkus holds back from attacking.
Thanks for botting me. I'll ready an action to do a 5' step and full attack Blue if/when it turns violent again.
"Stuck in here for so long... I'd probably scream about it too."

The ghost floats around.
"“Beg, beg for pain. The Midnight Lord will show his
might.” it pauses then continues. "“The shadows call out for souls.”

"Well that was... disappointing. I thought for sure we'd learn a lot more about this place from that ghost. Oh, well. At least it's gone now."
Inga moves with the others to the gaping hole in the floor.
"Down we go, then. Let's be very careful."
Klaus is still in incorporeal form. He can fly down with Rallas and whoever else goes down first. Inga will transform him back to ectoplasmic form when she gets down there.

"Excellent job, Companions! Especially Jory! Your archery is very impressive," Kahwen says after all the ghosts are dealt with.
He keeps his sword out and moves to the edge of the pit but waits for the reconnaissance team to go first. He can't see in the dark so dropping down himself with his Wayfinder lit up is a sure way of blowing their cover.
Granny can only watch as the ghost wanders off. "I don't think there was enough of the person left in that ghost to answer. Poor dear."
"Good job fighting them off, everyone. Hopefully we can find what's tying them here later."
After tapping herself with a wand and taking another (magic-powered) glance around the room, Granny pulls her shining wayfinder back out and checks for Evil.

Are we all on the lower level or are we still working our way down when the beetles attack?
Hearing the angry clicking and seeing the flying Trokkus' reaction, Granny walks over to the edge. After casting light on a loose pebble and nudging it over, she looks down.

Trokkus swoops awkwardly down the shaft before suddenly realising there are three massive body-eating beetles down there! "Criminy!" the half-orc shouts. "I oughtta have looked afore I lept!"
Landing with a bit of a stumble, he takes a wild swing at the nearest beetle.

"Big beasties down here, Inga!"
Klaus calls out as he floats down with Trokkus.
"Get up here, quick!"
She shouts back.
"Let's go back up, Trokkus!"
Klaus zips back to Inga's side with incredibly speedy incorporeal flight, even passing through the floor to get beside her.
When Klaus arrives, Inga concentrates to transform the phantom back to ectoplasmic form. (Full round action).

Trokkus shouts back to Rallas, "We're gonna find out, one way or another!"
Then, he briefly heals himself for letting loose on the beetles--the situation looks desperate enough, he even tries to take a bite out of one!
I'll do a five-foot-step to get next to both of them, a swift action lay on hands, and then a full attack starting on Green, switching to Blue if Green dies.
Well, if Trokkus really wanted to fight down there...
Granny moves a bit around the edge of the pit, where she could see all the crawly nasties well. With a gesture, two crackling balls of electricity appear and press up against the insects. One against the one still feeding (haven't the dead enough problems?), one the other against one of Trokkus' opponents. They hover about 5' off the ground - high enough to not damage any bodies or artifacts lying on the ground, but perfectly able to shock the beetles' oversized bodies.
Red electricity:3d6 ⇒ (6, 5, 5) = 16 (DC 19 Reflex for half)
