Kolose creeps carefully into the first chamber, his magically enhanced vision able to make out the chaotic magic of the crystals, but no other discrete sources among the contents of the tomb. The light sources provided by Lia and Petmailer carry a glow of evocation.
Kolose:
You do detect transmutation magic coming both from the curved dagger Neth carries at his hip, as well as another source of transmutation coming from within Petmailer's pack.

Petmailer examines another one of the coffins, looking at the lid, checking for any traps or odd markings. He touches the top of the lid and focuses, listening in the chamber. “Should we remove one of these lids? All of them? Or leave well enough alone?” he looks at the others, looking for opinions.

A wizard is never late, nor is he early, he arrives precisely when he means to.
This post has potentially manipulated dice roll results.
Stena's warning comes too late, as Petmailer's hand touches the stone coffin, there is chorus of inhaling shrieks as ethereal forms drift up through the lids, their wispy heads and torsos orienting on the party as they regard the intruders before shrieking and moving to attack.

They seem a bit out of practice, the two elves both dodging easily, while Fargas is hit by one of them but manages to avoid the other, his efforts to do so sending the light of his glowing pebble dancing across the walls. The halfling gives a pained wheeze as the spectral hand sinks into him, when it withdraws he seems shaken by the experience.
Fargas Con Save: 6
Neth turns his attention from the fabrics he'd been examining, extending a hand an calling a spectral tentacle up from the floor that takes a swing at the closest ghostly figure.

The blue tiefling crooks his other hand, extending a finger and sending a blast of magical energy at the same undead creature.

The tentacle leaves a stream of cold vapor in its wake, but the creature seems only mildly inconvenienced by it. The blast of force seems to deal more substantial injury.
Immediately after, everyone near Neth can see the crystals pulse (it's MUCH more vibrant for Kolose), and the entire room fills with a dense fog, blocking all vision of the three who entered the far chamber. From her position on the stairs, Stena is at the cusp of the fog.
"Oops. Eh, it'll be fine."
((imgur is borked at the moment, posted image to general channel in discord))
Stena curses the drow, and all drow generally and then extends it to Neth. She makes sure Neth can hears his name as she tries to move south based on how things just looked.
She will elbow Neth, hard, as she moves through his space and fire on where she last saw the ghost fighting a tentacle (still at disadvantage)
Petmailer’s eyes go wide as the ghostly images appear in the room and the fog appears behind them. He looks quickly at his shortsword and the creatures, weighing his odds, then cries out “Fall back! Let’s get out of this room!”
Petmailer disengages and falls back to the doors, near Kolose, urging Fargas and Galingal to escape the room. He looks back over his shoulders into the fog, saying “If anyone has magic, focus it on the crystals in that room, maybe they will explode!”

A wizard is never late, nor is he early, he arrives precisely when he means to.
Stena curses and moves into the room, trying to keep her orientation while making sure Neth knows she holds him accountable before drawing back an arrow and sending it through the fog, hopefully in the direction of the undead creature.
An arrow zips out of the fog into the burial chamber.
((Stena, let's have a check to see if she's pointing in the right spot. d20, and if you can make a case for a skill applying, I'm open to that.))
Petmailer calls for a retreat, and encourages anyone who can to try to destroy the crystals.
"I can try to destroy a bunch of them, but it'll get anyone near them too!", Lia calls back from the fog before moving around in there by the sound of the footsteps.
"Neth? It's me."
There is an exchange in goblin, and sounds of more feet moving.
The fog, while dense and pervasive, is lit up from within by the crystals and the dancing lights of Petmailer, so it is rather more navigable than a similar fog cloud not lit up, and as figures move through the fog, they may block the glow from various light sources.
Not sure what's going on with the fog clouding his vision, Galingal assumes the creatures that appeared are associated with the coffins and are likely to be the undead. He closes his eyes for a moment, then speaks quickly "Korppikuningatar kääntää epäkuolleet"
He then backs away out of the room and into the antechamber where the others are.
