The flanked ghoul falls to the floor, fully destroyed, and the other ghoul takes minimal damage.

With the Charghar gone, there are no more spectral students. You are able to take the desks and pile them up against the doors and can spend the night here in the classroom. Where will you go in the morning?
Khajuna recognizes this creature as a form of Charghar. It has resistance to all 5 (except force, ghost touch, or positive. double resistance against non-magical) and hides. Grunyer makes a defensive advance and is able to hit the Chargar, destroying it.
While searching the room, you find: Lesser Salamander Elixir
:
➤ Grunyer AC 21/23 (31/38 HP)
There is a door to the southwest (leading, probably, to area F) and a door to the southeast.
Pneuferro strides closer and sends magic metal into the spectre. It does significantly less damage than Pneuferro expected.

Regnad continues his Courageous Anthem on the bagpipes, and fails to help Grunyer's first strike. Arc is not affected by the floating text, but does feel that being in such close proximity to the spectre is affecting him. Still, the Force Barrage is very effective.

Grunyer puts his hand into the spectre and holy healing magic courses into it. The holy light dissipates. Then, Grunyer's flail misses. Grunyer then backs up next to Regnad. The spectre throws a book at a 'student', hitting them in the head.
Text from the the book flows across the rooms. [ooc]Grunyer and Arc must make Will Save DC 21 from seeing the text.

Pneuferro blasts the spectre, which resists all of the damage, and gives everyone a free stride. Regnad continues the Courageous Anthem on his bagpipes. While he hits the spectre with Needle Darts, they do not appear to do any harm to the spectre Arc is unaffected by the floating text. Arc's weapon flies, but misses the spectre.

I'll suggest it in the TechnoDM house. I'm sure we can make another holiday just to contain it.
Grunyer steels himself to resist the aura of the spectre. He'll raise his shield, but strike ineffectively with his flail. The spectre void damage. Text from the book flies out around Grunyer. Grunyer and Arc seem affected by the text. The spectre void damage. The spectre void damage.

I hope everything is all right.
Regnad continues his anthem, but, his needle cards go right through the spectre. Khajuna's divine lance misses, but Grunyer is guided.

You may each give me a Diplomacy check, an Academy Lore check, or if you can make a case for it, some other Lore check having to do with teaching or schools.
Some of the children close their books to look at you. The spectre throws a book at a child, hitting them in the head. The child is ethereal but, the book was real. As she gets angrier, you try to get her calmed down.

Khajuna makes a heroic effort and heals Regnad. After ten minutes, you go into the next room. It is a classroom. Sitting at the desks are children who look at you as you come in. The door to the southwest opens, and the teacher comes in. "Who are you to disturb this class? Students! Read your books!" GM:
Khajuna doesn't notice, but, something was odd about the door that opened. Arc: The 'teacher' isn't. You can see through the illusion to the creature beneath. It is some kind of specter.
At the end of the hallway is a door to the left.
Pneuferro gets to the control panel, and disables the spinning blades. In the hallway you find the following among the remains of others who were not able to disable the trap: Lesser Mistform Elixir
: ➤ Regnad Kcin AC 17 (15/28 HP) ➤ Grunyer AC 21/23 (34/38 HP)
I want to remind everyone that Paizo is going to upgrade their systems on Monday, with a projected downtime of 2 days. Now, I'm an old computer guy. I would be surprised if it only took two days, and that it will be working properly after the upgrade.
Regnad begins Courageous Anthem, but, his needle darts, while hitting the blade dead on, do no damage to it. The spinning blades slashing damage. Then the spinning blades' pole will move ten feet down the hallway and slashing damage.

Grunyer uses the Force of Wind to get out of the hallway, raises his shield, and then hits the pole with blades, but, none of the damage gets through the hardness of the metal.

After about twenty minutes, you go to the hallway to the east. Just as Grunyer gets to the end of the hallway, you hear a 'click'. GM:
Khajuna, trying to figure out what might be coming up, notices a control panel at the end of the hallway (on the eastern wall) From the ceiling directly east of Grunyer, a pole with three blades descends and

Grunyer cannot get his weapon off the mimic. Instead he slugs it. Hard! Killing the mimic. After a minute, the 'adhesive' qualities of the mimic subside.

➤ Pneuferro AC 17 (32/42 HP) ➤ Regnad Kcin AC 17 (25/28 HP) In the cupboards you find:
There is a hallway to the east and an open hallway to the northwest.
Aw, crap. It's really nerfed. You can't move it anymore (horizontally), just vertically. I guess it can get flyers that hover. But any flyer worth a damn would just fly away. (unless they are mindless, perhaps).
The mimic gets shocked a little, and burns a lot.

@Arc, You could sustain Floating Flame three times a round. It would be a separate save on each. That might produce more damage, rather than casting a 2-action spell that only does 3d4, you would be doing two actions, each doing 3d6. Especially, since both (the spell and the sustain) have the same DC
Regnad continues the Courageous Anthem and sends some needles into the wall behind the mimic.
Arc is able to shock the mimic a little, and burn it a little. Pneuferro tries wriggling out of the sticky grasp of the mimic on the second try, but cannot connect with her Air Blast. The mimic rights itself (provoking reactions if possible).

Grunyer reacts to the mimic targetting Pneuferro. Pneuferro takes 5 less damage from the mimic, but still gets hit and grabbed. Khajuna heals Pneuferro to full health, then raises their shield. Grunyer then raises his shield and attempts to trip the mimic. It topples over. Grunyer then attempts to retrieve his weapon from the sticky mimic, but, is unable to.

Khajuna moves closer, raises their shield, but, is not adept enough in the occult arts to know anything about this creature. Regnad begins his anthem, and hits the mimic with some shards. Pneuferro is stuck to one of the mimic's pseudopods , but, can't seem to smack the mimic with her blasts.
