"This is no trap, not one made by cunning rogue anyway. It is a haunt, and is created by great suffering or horror. A memory of terror made manifest. The Church of the Keeper, though, if any could manipulate a haunt it would be those scum.
It's too late for this.....this.....Ozymandias, but if I can tell a haunt is manifesting I can wrack it with my sacred energies."
"Hmmm......I believe the haunt can be destroyed, by righting the wrong that made it become existent. Quite a task though......"
The group recover from their hallucinatory trip, and consider which direction to take.

The smell of old death emanates from both exits. Looking down both sides, Rodergo can see that the walls of the corridors beyond are made up of rows of horizontal niches. Each holds a long, cloth-bound bundle - a corpse swaddled in funerary* wrapping laid to rest. A few have canopic jars laid atop or to one side. The passages lead off into darkness.
That's awesome.
Is "fanny" butt in England? It's butt in the US.
"Lovely. Left it is, gentlefellows?"
"Lovely. Left it is, gentlefellows?"
"One second." Janosz pushes past Rod and kneels down n the door opening, face scrunched un in concentration.
"See anything, good ranger?"
That's awesome.

Janosz notices scuff marks in the dusts that covers most surfaces in this place, made by small clawed feet as they head into the left passage.
"Our little friend went this way, and so will we." Janosz gets his bow out, nocks a pair of arrows and quietly stalks down the left corridor.
"Left it is."
Nevharath follows, weapon in hand.
The tunnel divides, and then divides again. Then the passage leads to a landing where stairs lead both up and down. Janosz follows the tracks of the puckwudgie down to the next level, then takes a left turn at the T-junction. The corridors are roughly carved from the stone, each wall packed with niches like shelves where the remains of the dead moulder in dusty silence. Each passageway looks like the last, making what appears to be an extensive catacomb confusing and maze-like.
Janosz stays on the trail through the catacombs. Most of the remains seem very old, dry skeletons wrapped in stained, brittle cloth. So far - and perhaps surprisingly for a temple of the Keeper - they all rest quietly.
The footprints in the dust lead to a landing above a chamber with a domed ceiling. The steps lead down the floor, where the dust lies very thickly. In the centre of the room is a low altar upon which perches a skull with a sigil painted on its forehead. Beyond the altar, a passage carries on.
"Gotta be a trap. Should I shoot the skull off the altar? That oughta break it and destroy the mark on it."

No way.....
"I think shooting the skull is a neat idea."
The skull shatters as Janosz's arrow hits it. As the fragment skitter across the floor, the piles of dust and dirt begins to rise up in vaguely humanoid shapes.

We still need Gil and Gelb.
"Another empty room," Gelb walks in late after searching the room the group just passed for treasure.
"This place really is a tom..." Gelb's complaint cuts off as he sees the humanoid shapes forming.
"I leave you idiots for one second." Gelb angrily whispers while preparing himself for their next encounter.
The animated dust piles slither over the adventurers, hindering movement with surprising tenacity.
Gelb effortlessly avoids being grappled before pulling a wand and unleashing its magic at the dust "bunny."
On his turn, Nevharath will attempt to resist grapple
