Levin shudders. "Well that was... discouraging. I hope there aren't any more of whatever that was." He speaks in a light tone to help himself mentally recover.

Beyond the thick blanket of mist, a clearing rests near the bank of a gently flowing river. The ground is submerged in a layer of muddy water with pockets of foul-smelling gas burbling up from it. A white marble dais surrounded by broken pillars and statues of dancers sits to the north. At the center of the platform, a miasma of smoky faces and grasping hands roils around a flickering silver gemstone suspended inside a glass globe. Strange markings are scrawled across the steps in dried blood.
You are on the edge of the mist and somewhat concealed…

[u]Lucky Number[/u] – When cast, roll a d20; if you later roll that number, you can reroll or add +2. Commonly used to hope for a low number, so you can reroll bad rolls — a cheap "backup" reroll if luck favors you.
Before venturing deep into the mist, Patchouli goes into a stabbing spree with her Lucky Number wand, poking everyone with it.

"This must be it!" Levin says in a low voice. "The Glade of Silver Sparks we're supposed to look for. And, uh... I don't know what that thing is," he adds, pointing at the silver crystal, "but it sure seems important."
He pulls out a wand and conjures an invisible helper.

With a hissing pop and flash of purple, a floating ball of light appears bobbing inside the ring of tormented spirits. The faint impression of a skull with eyes floats within, with eye sockets shaped like four-pointed stars. The wisp giggles manically, in a lilting voice. “Welcome to my field of death, travelers. You must now accept the empty fate of eternity, for your time has come to an end. Are you prepared to embrace the void?”
As it awaits an answer to its query, Ushi recalls something about this kind of creature; an aberration of the air, formally recognized as a will o’ wisp…but he recognizes this one to be most unique…
Special Defenses: natural invisibility
Resistances: none
Immunities: fear, magic*
* Immunity to Magic (Ex): Will-o’-wisps are immune to all spells and spell-like abilities that allow spell resistance, except magic missile and maze.
Perception DC20:
You hear the wailing of tormented souls; they emanate from the glass globe, containing the soul spark, in the center of the dais, just south of Tulvatha. You recognize it as another haunt.
Each of you note that the Blessing of Ashava reveals a trail of silvery moonlight that follows Tulvhatha; invisible or not, you’ll know what square she’s in…
Knowkedge (Religion) DC32:
You recognize that the precise shape of the star pattern in Tulvhatha’s eye matches the shape of the eye of the obscure Nhimbaloth, Outer Goddess of despair, ghosts, and swamps.

Might not be a great idea to stay clustered together. the tiny Greyveil notes as he grows wings and flies up and out of "fireball" formation. And that glass globe is or contains another haunt. Can anyone get a read on how to get rid of it? Should we break the globe?

Greyveil perceives that the globe belongs here, and has been here all along, for some specific purpose…but it has been corrupted by Tulvatha who has ‘bent’ it into a haunt for his own purposes…
If no one wishes to talk with the wisp (it’s not required nor will it change anything), I’ll move us into initiative this afternoon or evening…

Patchouli prefers to stay with her land-bound teammates, as they make her more resilient against evil. A haze of crystalline dust start to form into indistinct runes and glyphs and surrounding her body. Crystalline Dust, 20% miss chance vs melee and range atk
Ah, of course, I should’ve picked up on that and counted that as an aid; go ahead and take a look at the spoiler but fyi, it’s just informational not actionable, but is kinda interesting in seeing the wisp’s motivation, I guess…
Next post I make, later this evening, will take us to initiative and the final battle…

Patchouli have See Invisibility up. As her initiative is on the 2nd round, she will wait for others to do their action first "Got scrolls of See Invisi for you here, Greyvail."

Greyveil squints into the mist trying to see the now invisible enemy.
With that offer Greyveil comes out of delay and flies to Patchouli, hand out to accept the scroll. Better if you can read cast it on me. he notes.
Unsure if I move that then accept the scroll if I have a standard left or if accepting the scroll is my standard.
See Invisibility is a personal spell, so I'm afraid you have to UMD it. Patchouli can draw it as move action and ready a standard to hand it to you if you come close
Ushi, Waki, & Greyveil smell swamp gas…Ushi & Waki smell the buildup of it to their left and right but not in front…and Greyveil much the same from his current location (before moving to receive the scroll)…
As Waki & Levin vanishes from sight, Ushi prays and Greyveil moves to accept a scroll from Patchouli…
I’d assume receiving the scroll would be similar to drawing a weapon so would take up both of Greyveil’s actions…
I’d say it’d take a move action to retrieve the scroll so Patchouli would still have either a standard action left or another move. And to clarify, when I mentioned it taking up both of Greyveil”s actions, I should’ve better worded that; I meant his move action AND taking the scroll as that’d be like a double move. Sorry I didn’t make that clearer…
My apologies, was awaiting someone to post…but then saw they had already posted…my bad…
Patchouli and Greyveil see Tulvatha mumbling something…
…and spectral arms appear from the ground amongst the four most forward of you…all of the 4 standing on the ground (in the area of the purple square), slashing all but Greyveil who is flying…

Tiny Geryveil moves up to be within his bomb range and throws a firebomb at the wisp, letting the fire splash onto the glass orb.
Range Touch:1d20 + 20 ⇒ (10) + 20 = 304d6 + 6 ⇒ (1, 1, 1, 1) + 6 = 10Really? Four 1s. Splash damage is also 10.

As Patchouli and Greyveil move into position, before their blows fall, they hear the wailing of tormented souls and a whirling miasma of spirits moans and lashes out with grasping, spectral hands. The tormented souls bite, claw, and infest the two Pathfinders.
Patchouli & Greyveil: Will Save DC16:
All living creatures in the haunt’s area take 4d6 ⇒ (1, 3, 6, 5) = 15 points of negative energy damage and are frightened for 1 round. A target can attempt a DC 16 Will save to reduce the damage by half and be shaken for one round instead of frightened. If you make your save, both your attacks will land, else you’ll take full damage and flee…

Levin manages to avoid the worst of the spectral arms, but takes a few painful cuts for his efforts. Still invisible, he runs toward the platform out of reach of the ghosts.
