Corinne grabs the staff from Mallet, swinging it menacingly a couple times before bringing it around Major League Baseball style to lop off the cricket's head.

Corinne kills Vithiz and its' corpse is absorbed into the staff, which releases Kishokish. As a reward for rescuing him, Kishokish stamps you all and then gives you the stamp, which has 17-sides and functions as a pearl of power.

As you exit Nine Eaves you see Umble and Thoot approaching you. Umble explains which route along the Dead Roads will take you back to Roslar’s Coffer on Golarion. She reminds you that you shouldn’t leave the Dead Roads until you are back on the Material Plane, or you’ll just end up back in the Boneyard again. They encourage the you to rest and prepare yourselves, as they have no idea what disaster befell Roslar's Coffer.
(Assuming that you either take an LR or just keep plugging on)
After an hour of uneventful travel through the Dead Roads, you crest a hill and see something rise before you in the distance. The road crests a low hill of thorns and dead grass before dropping into an enormous valley strewn with gravestones. The road is plain in the moonlight, but it suddenly wavers as a garden of bright flowers and high hedges rises up to block the road. From this high vantage point, the garden resembles an enormous skull adorned with flowers. You cannot see any of the details of the garden from this distance, but it is clear that you will have to traverse through it if you wish to return home.
As Morticia sees this garden rise up to block your way, she suddenly remembers something.
Deathbower- Years Ago
Floating in the middle of the Boneyard is a different Deathbower, a more beautiful Deathbower where the hedges are well-kept and the various flowers in the garden are alive instead of rotten. Walking through this version of Deathbower is a younger version of Celestia Kiah, the person Morticia was in a life gone by, who makes her way to a gazebo, almost as if she knows it's where she's supposed to go. The gazebo is undamaged, its' wood finely polished. Inside the gazebo is a considerably less hostile Mictena, who bids Celestia come to her so that she can pass on to Pharasma's judgement. Celestia walks forward as if entranced, but before she gets to Mictena, she suddenly vanishes as she wakes up in a morgue.

G felt themselves fill with pride over the group as they'd each receive their stamp. They'd feel a sense of accomplishment, but also that they were growing together as a team. Their sense of protection only grew as they moved on through the next leg of their journey. These individuals were more than capable on their own, but together, there was an added spark of energy as each one came into their own.
Falling into stride, perhaps with their chest a little puffed, G would hold firmly onto their scythe as they'd keep a watchful eye over the group. They were in full sentinel mode as they approached the garden.
With everything going as well as it had been, it looked as if Morticia seemed to be in rather high spirits. The team was getting along well with the rogue finding them all trustworthy, and they were able to get their second stamp with relative ease. Just a little more and they would be out of there...
Morticia stops in her tracks when the garden enters their sights, mainly looking to admire, up until she is struck with a piercing headache, causing her to hunch over in pain.
The memory goes as fast as it came, and the rogue is stunned in place, questions filling her mind. Who was that? Was that me? Did I come here before? Did I die before I even went to Roslar's Coffer? Charlotte said that was impossible, that it was a mistake. I had no injuries, I couldn't have died. But...She shakes her head, only to soon cup it in her hands. "I-I'm sorry. I'm okay... " She brings a weary gaze back onto the garden. "I-I... I think I've been here before. I don't know how, but... It's just... familiar..."
Maybe... maybe mom will be in there...?"L-let's go. I'll lead, i-if you guys want."

This wide, neat garden has short grass studded with tastefully arranged clumps of wildflowers. High hedges blooming with bright flowers surround the triangular space, with two gaps: an iron arch to the east, and an opening with a brick-lined walk to the southwest. Tending the hedges are four monks with golden skin that are wearing tunics. As you enter, they stop pruning the flowers and get ready to start fighting. “Mistress Mictena said you would be coming. It is our honor to stop you.”

Corinne is happy for the rest, and ecstatic that they've finally gotten the necessary stamps to make their sojourn out of this foul place.
In the garden, as the gardeners state their hostile intent, Corinne realizes that she is starting to relish the opportunity to tear her enemies apart, where before it was just self defense, now she just enjoys the violence, as she lets out a terrible shriek, ready to pounce upon her prey, eyes turning to obsidian pools of deathly night.

"Hang on just a little longer Mallet." The paladin would encourage the cleric as they'd take their swing.

Mallet also keeps her head up, looking for threats. (Did we get a LR? Mallet would not say no to one. If not, perhaps a short rest?)
(Yes, you all were given the option to take a LR before heading out of Nine Eaves)
