"We need to all be close together," Galingal says. "More opportunity to hit them when they appear and when they flee. Magic best but I think they're hurt by other weapons too."
Stena and Galingal debate next steps, while Lia, being urged to flee by both Petmailer and Kolose, begins her ascent with gentle urging from Neth. "I'll be right behind you!", he assures her, the blue tiefling locking eyes with Kolose with a grimmer look than his tone would imply.
She's joined by the pitter patter of invisible goblin feet.
Kolose's spell fades as he releases it uncast.
((Jimjar and Neth are still on the stairs near Kolose, everyone else other than Stena and Galingal have headed upwards.))
"Why do they keep running?" Galingal says. "We need coins."
He heads into the tomb where the spectres appeared originally, his rapier at the ready and takes a look inside the one that the cows knocked the top off of.
This post has potentially manipulated dice roll results.
Galingal heads out of the fog back into the tomb, Stena can probably hear him blindly clambering over dead cows to at least know what direction he went. However, he's not able to see into the cracked stone coffin from where he is.
((Difficult terrain among cow carcasses, he could get to the coffin with a Dash, but wouldn't be able to hold rapier ready.))
Kolose prepares for what he hopes won't be his lasts stand as he urges the others upward.
Jimjar retreats a bit, fits a bolt to his crossbow and looks between Neth and Kolose. "I'm not even gonna ask for a bet, you two don't fall behind, yeah?" The deep gnome scoots up the stairs.
The undead shift through the walls, appearing near Kolose, and this time Neth has visual on the one lit up by faerie fire, so unleashes his eldritch blast and hopes for the best.

The crystals pulse around him, and Neth is moving unnaturally fast. "Don'tlinger,it'sreallybaddownhere!", he blurts out, before zipping up the stairs.
Kolose is alone on the stairs, with two undead bearing down on him. They are both less 'solid' than they were, whisps of their ethereal forms swirling in ragged tatters, and if he had to guess, the one lit up by Petmailer's revealing spell that Neth just blasted seems a bit worse off than the non-glowing one.
((The surge let him take another action immediately. Kinda weird for it to happen during someone else's turn.))
((Official rolling for MM is to roll once and apply it to all darts. Common practice is to roll for each. If you're casting your held spell, I'm fine with either, but declare how many are going to who if you're splitting them up. You might as well roll me a d100 as well.))
The magic becomes too much, and seven more darts burst from the aged wizard, slamming into and through the two remaining undead, which collapse into ethereal shreds and fade away. Everyone in the stairs feels a gentle breeze pass them, heading down the stairs, before it ceases.
In the fog, Stena feels it swirl around her.
In the tomb, Galingal sees the edge of the fog twist and swirl, but no undead emerge as he hurries over to peer into the far left casket.
He shifts some of the shattered lid, and peers down on the shrouded skeletal remains, noting a ring on the right hand set with a black stone, and a silver necklace, tarnished but intact, set in the center with a thumb sized orange-red stone flanked on either side by deep blue stones half the size.
With the now dimmer light in the tomb, as the fires fade and the crystals have been destroyed, he notes a faint bluish glow coming from within the skeletal mouth, peeking out between the teeth and under the jaw.
((We are out of combat order, but Kolose is currently the only one who knows that, so please act accordingly!))

Kolose's eyes open wide. For a moment, it feels like... His mind is clear? No, it's not really clear. It's just that, for a moment, pure chaos fills in the gaps of his mind and body where he once thought it lost.
And then, in a moment of bliss, and with a laughter that doesn't quite seem to befit the old man, it erupts- Taking care of the two ghosts before the could claw at him.
And then, just as fast, it's all gone again.
He stands there for a few moments, stunned, just a bit confused. Probably long enough that if there had been ghosts still, he'd surely have been attacked. But after snapping out of that, he quickly rushes down, intent on seeing if Stena and Galingal are alright.
attack: 14
concentration: 16
Kolose feels unwell, but manages to catch his breath and maintain his concentration.
(Although, he has no targets to use it on, and his turn will come around again before the undead return.))

"Ay, not pick meh nose-"
Then the healing hits,
"Better. We need a plan. They are smarter than aye'd expected."
((If Galingal has any inklings of a plan, he can briefly convey that to Stena, then she's got the rest of her turn.))

Stena will hiss,
"If we move to the center of the tomb they can't fly in and out, but aye can't take another hit."
Stena offers.
If Galingal gives an affirmative answer she'll move into the tomb and ready an arrow.
Galingal nods.
"We need to all be close together," Galingal says. "More opportunity to hit them when they appear and when they flee. Magic best but I think they're hurt by other weapons too."
Galingal's nod goes unseen within the fog. Stena can act on his words as she wishes.

Stena remains in the fog, bow readied and confused.
"What in the hells does that mean? Back to the tomb or towards the stairs?"
Stena and Galingal debate next steps, while Lia, being urged to flee by both Petmailer and Kolose, begins her ascent with gentle urging from Neth. "I'll be right behind you!", he assures her, the blue tiefling locking eyes with Kolose with a grimmer look than his tone would imply.

"Why do they keep running?" Galingal says. "We need coins."
He heads into the tomb where the spectres appeared originally, his rapier at the ready and takes a look inside the one that the cows knocked the top off of.
"Cowards. What? Where are ye going now?"
Kolose gives a last glance down, hoping for traces of either Galingal or Stena... But then back up.
"Go, go, I'll be right behind you!"
And Kolose will in fact be running up. Right after prepping a lvl 2 magic missile for when the ghosts show themselves again...

Kolose has the magic missiles split up. Two for the first one, and two for the other one. Hopefully not an act he'll regret...

Kolose feels the magic surging and building within him, magic that needs an outlet, a target, or it will surely destroy him!
Kolose:
You cast magic missile as a 5th-level spell.

She hisses in his direction,
"Ye feel that? Somethings coming. "
