Area F2

Faded and chipped murals line the walls of this long hall, their exact portrayals now impossible to discern. A wide alcove in the eastern end of the room contains the base of a large statue, but nothing of the statue remains except two stone stumps that resemble horse’s hooves. The floor is uneven and sags near the middle of the room. Two hallways in the western half of the room lead north and south, but both immediately bend to the west. A large stone door exits to the north, opposite a smaller stone door to the south

Morticia notices that the arguing beings are the shade of an elven woman, a zombified dwarven male, and a human skeleton. They seem to be having an argument over how to get out of this tomb, when the three of them notice you. "You, girl!" The woman's shade says. "How did you get in here? Is that annoying spirit still outside?"

Morticia jumps back in surprise at them noticing her, her face flushing a deep crimson. "Er, uh... We-- I... C-came through there...?" She points in the direction of where the group had entered. "And... No...? Do you all want to leave?"

"What a stupid question. Of course we want to leave." And if they aren't stopped by Morticia or any other party member, the shade woman will lead the zombified dwarf man and the skeletal human down the hall into F1 and then out of the tomb.

Mallet grabs Corrine and heals for 13, Morticia for 14, and Shi for 16 via cure wounds (2nd level for Morticia, 1st for the others) before the group moves along to the arguers. She thanks G for the offer, and allows them to cover anything she couldn't.

And herself for 4+3+3, thanks to Blessed Healer.

"Annoying spirit? Was it keeping you in here?" Mallet asks, innocently.

G would nod to Mallet, then would take up a sentry position to watch over the group. They’d stand in the doorway with their scythe at their side, insisting that the shade elf and zombie dwarf finish their conversation with their companions before simply brushing passed them. While their companions questioned the beings, they’d pay attention to their mannerisms and focused on figuring out if there was any deceit. Are those beings meant to stay here, or are they actually similar to them and just looking to get free? Would allowing them free actually be detrimental in any way? They wondered.

"Yes, it was keeping us in here. Damn thing pushed us in here. Now move it!"

G grunts. They slam the butt of their scythe on the ground next to them. "You shall not pass."

Mallet steps in (verbally -- she hangs back a bit physically). "Unless you tell us what you mean to do out there. Be persuasive."

She touches her holy symbol and prepares the lines in her head to turn undead. What does the room/hallway look like? Would turning be effective here?

(Turning would be effective, yes)

The shade woman grows angry with your refusal to let her and her cohorts pass. "Then die."

Shi frowns at Cythriel, and her eyes turn white. "Wait, no, don't hurt me, please," comes a small child's pleas from her mouth, battering at Cythriel's mind. "I'm sorry, I won't do it again, I-"

DC 16 Wis ST or 5 psychic damage and dis on next attack.

At the same time, a small blue orb pops up beside Shi, whispering.
