"Mmmmm... I love the smell of ectoplasm in the morning."
.
As Vernal brings Corpus back from the brink once more, his orders to Kevaras causes an injury to the ghost.
The knight of the Raven Queen channels the divine power of his Goddess through his sword.

"Die! Again!"
Malize and then Nuabos hit the ghost with magic missiles and it turns into ectoplasm. A dark bolt of light shoots from it, and hit Naubos in the chest and he gasps.
Move to I9, mark the ghost and use duel strike.

Corpus moves forward and the Weapon Master cuts down both remaining foes handily. Again, as the ghost dies, a dark bolt shoots from it into Naubos, and he cries out.
Ediza's last people are down, and the ghosts are also gone. The door is closed, the rune circle on it glowing in the semi darkness of the cave.
Scope out the room and rune circle.

Vernal wanders over to Naubos. "Do tell us more about this staff that isn't for superior races."
"I don't know any details about it. I was sent here to recover it, but I was not given any information about it." Naubos replies.
"I don't know any details about it. I was sent here to recover it, but I was not given any information about it." Naubos replies.
"Well then, I guess we'll just have to go get it and find out." Ovid opens the door.
Ovid pulls open the door and sees a ruined room. There is more rubble here then in any of the other rooms. . On either side of the room are glowing blue arcane circles. . Towards the back, there is an altar on which lays a staff. There are also three ghosts here. Two black ones, like you saw come through the door into the other room, and one which has flecks of white all through it - it would look, to a surfacer, like the night sky come to life.

Vernal joins his twin in the race to be last and loses.
Ovid steps into the room.
Move to L20
The front wave of the party bounds over the rubble and the ghost is lit up nicely by drow darkfire. Just then another Star Ghost comes out of the back wall.
The normal ghosts move forward, the first towards the back line of the party, the second to Kevaras, reaching for him with a black claw.
The claw doesn't hit, however, not even coming close. The first star ghose moves to Corpus and the pattern seems to pull at his mind, insidious whispers trying to worm into his psyche as it reaches for him with a claw.
Somewhat surprised to find himself face to face with a ghost, Vernal spins his drow knife and looks deeply into its eyes.
"You're feeling unsure of yourself, do let me help you feel worse," he says gently, driving the blade home.
Vernal's blade cuts into the ghost's ectoplasmic form even as one more star ghost slides from the back wall.
Malize jumps back in annoyance and launches another bolt.
Santander calls down fire to no avail at all, though he does leave flames along the floor.
Naubos then steps back and uses his own arcane powers on the same enemies that Santander targeted.
His mental attack works, leaving both foes confused and immobile.
Ovid darts towards one of the ghost and thrusts his spear straight through it.
Corpus uses Surprising slash on Starry Ghost 1.

Kevaras cuts into the ghost in front of him.
The drow backs away from the reach of the ghost's claws.
Kevaras steps backwards after striking his foe. The two ghosts near him can do nothing but stare as they are held in place by Naubos' magic.
The ghost in the back of the room moves next to Naubos and Vernal, but it does not attack either one.
The first star ghost turns it's attentions to Ovid, since he just stabbed it, and attacks him with it's claw.
Vernal keeps his eyes on the ghost pursuing him.
"You like me. That's so sweet, but how can I break this to you gently? It isn't mutual. I just don't feel that way."
The knife spins again and stabs.
Vernal hacks away more of the magical forces that bind the ghost to the material world.
The last star ghost swings around and swipes a claw at Corpus.
Malzie darts behind Kevaras. "Thank the goddess, we have such capable males." she purrs. It is unclear whether she is being sarcastic, as a a ball of blue force forms around the strange spirits.
Malize darts forward, the ball of force shooting from her hand. While the orb destroys the first target, the other ghost avoids the magical ball. Like the ghosts outside, the slain star ghost turns into a silvery ball that shoots forward and strikes Naubos.
