Not knowing where the wraiths will appear again, Galingal decides to keep moving forward to get out of the fog and take in the circumstances of the tomb, his rapier at the ready.
Galingal is able to clamber over unmoving cow carcasses in the fog, eventually emerging in the doorway. There are an additional three dead cows in the middle of the room, showing signs of having been savaged by the spectral undead, and the room is actually brighter than before, as the far right corner is covered in flames that look to be originating from shattered shards of one of the crystals. The cows weren't put down before they made an absolute wreck of the place, smashing the urns, overturning the assorted offerings or decorative items, the lid of the far left coffin being cracked, and a few stray cow plops having been kicked and tracked all over, adding their pungent aroma to the burning hair of the cow closest to the flames.
That's what Galingal takes in at a glance, as he whirls to face the fog right behind him, rapier held to thrust at any who charge him.

Kolose struggles, seeing so many fallen behind still, really wanting to get out of the range of the dangerous crystals... But eventually, he moves back down a bit again. Still keeping a toll ready, just in case.
"Are they fighting down there..? I thought we were doing a tactical retreat..!"
((There are still more crystals on the stairs as well, just as a reminder.))
Kolose descends until he can get visual on Lia and Petmailer, but he doesn't spot Stena or Galingal.
He doesn't have long to wait as a spectral undead emerges from the wall directly adjacent to Petmailer, and another emerges where Stena was, looking about for the dwarf.
((Stena, Kolose and Petmailer can all take their readied actions. Petmailer's will be either be with 3/4 cover or disadvantage, depending on if he would opt to shoot as soon as any part of it emerged from the wall, or shooting when it is next to him. Once you've taken any readied actions, the undead will finish their turn.))

Petmailer’s readied action goes off, when he sees the ghost emerge, he shoots his bow immediately. “I don’t like this, little help? Anyone able to hit this thing?” The bowstring twangs and his arrow seems to strike true, but passes through…
Long bow : 18 to hit, for 7 points of piercing damage.

Petmailer's arrow leaps from his bow, shattering in the stone as it hits the spectre in the face, shards of arrow slowed slightly as they scatter out through the incorporeal visage.
Kolose unleashes his held spell, the magic of this place surging around him, but the target of his spell seems to shrug it off.

There is a resounding boom that thunders through the tomb as Kolose vanishes before popping out half a flight up, pinned against the wall. He feels like the magic wants to take him further, but was constrained by how far he could see as it lets him drop to the ground. Lia and Neth are caught in the blast where the wizard vanished from, trying to clap their hands over their ears and weathering the booming magic.

Petmailer is near death, reeling. He disengages and moves up 30 feet, heading up the stairs, putting his bow away as he does, his hand moves to his short sword, drawing it out. “Going to die, I feel terrible…”
Stena stiffens as the ghost's hand clutches inside her chest.
As it flees she is left shuddering, barely standing. She'll look up the stairs briefly before taking a step back into the fog moving to where she thinks the grey elf is,
Petmailer, much more alone on the stairs now, readies his bow, while Stena has hers readied angling back up the stairs for when the ghosties return.

"Galingal. Aye need ye."
She readies another arrow.
