Assuming he manages to get close enough to the source of the light to see the one person that was using it no longer needs, he'll cover it up. Otherwise, he'll spend another turn dodging while trying to get past the blinding zone next round.
Kolose moves into the room, squinting against the light as his field of vision shrinks. He squeezes past Neth to see Fargas, and his lack of eyes and life that no longer need the light.
((He's able to dash over and grab the pebble, holding it in his hand or tucking it away would keep it's glow tamped down. If he does, he'd have 20 ft left of movement, and could move within this radius.))

Galingal tries to speak again but just frowns when all that comes out is the pink bubbles again.
He continues on to the sarcophagus deciding that if it is a trap it's not the wraith that is setting it. That creature seems to be blind hate and anger.
But frustrated at not being able to convey this to the others, Galingal just looks for a way to open the coffin, using brute force (what little he has himself) if necessary (Athletics 3 )
((They certainly seem different, in that the pleading is softer in tone, spoken/thought directly into your mind and understandable, as opposed to the harsh vocalizations of the spirit in a tongue you can't understand. Kolose's passive Insight would tell him that they are distinct, but if he remains suspicious, could make an Insight check as an Action.))
Galingal blows bubbles in frustration before heaving at the gilded lid of the sarcophagus, sending it tumbling and crashing to the ground behind the resting place of the desiccated and mummified remains he now sees resting in the cradle of the sarcophagus. The cloth shrouding the remains is of a finer quality, and is used in greater quantity than the four above, the remains being completely swaddled in strips of cloth. Around the next hangs a gold necklace with a half dozen or so red spheres dangling across the mummified neck and chest, and the hands rest across the torso, cradled around a golden hilt of a sword with no blade.
Galingal sees no other immediate sources of the voice that has spoken to them.

"Fargas is down! She went through him into the floor!", Jimjar calls out, circling around the first pillar to take up a position well away from the point she may be most likely to rise from. He gets in behind Neth's cluster of tentacles, which themselves seem listless as the tiefling sways on his feet.
Spiderbait asks something of YukYuk, who barks back in goblin, gesturing for him to move. The taller laconic goblin moves with haste, an uncharacteristic amount of worry on his face. Armed only with daggers, the web surfers are of limited use in this fight, but have already received a scolding.

Free action (If allowed). Petmailer responds to the voice in his mind with suspicion, saying “What are you? Out with it, if you want help, or can give some!”

A wizard is never late, nor is he early, he arrives precisely when he means to.
Petmailer gets no answer back, whether that is because the entity is unwilling to respond, or unable to hear him, he cannot say for sure. He is right behind Galingal, and would be able to at least get a glimpse of the necklace and blade-less hilt clasping mummied remains.

Petmailer seems frantic, turning to Galingal, saying “I’m out of magic, I have nothing else to help! Maybe the blade is invisible and will hurt her!” He steps up and grabs the sword hilt from the mummy, dropping his bow for now, waiving the hilt around hoping that a blade will appear. He steps down and faces the area where Fargas lies, looking to swing at the entity if he is right about the invisible sword blade.

As Petmailer pushes past and grasps the hilt, tearing it from the grasp of the mummified remains, a brilliant blade of pure light bursts forth, Petmailer's drow eyes squinting against the unnaturally (to him) bright light beaming forth, illuminating the entire room. Stena's position is revealed, and Kolose's world shrinks to a 10 ft radius sphere containing him, Yuk Yuk, Neth and the confused Lia, beyond which everything is bright white.
Petmailer:
<Oh, finally, finally! Thank you! It has been ages, ages in the dark! With a hand to wield me, we can destroy that foul creature! Who are you, noble warrior, who hast found me in this age?>
Fargas' remains twitch, and a small, halfling sized undead spirit rises up, very similar in form to those you faced upstairs.

The undead spirit of Fargas, your guide to this tomb, now under the control of the mistress of this place, howls its displeasure and lunges for YukYuk.
Jimjar looses a bolt at the undead.

"Damned light, I can't see anything..!"

Glowing pebble sorted, Kolose slides back behind Spiderbait to stand by Lia.

Yuk Yuk shakes off the confusion, looking around and seeing the dead Fargas and cursing in goblin.

(What kind of action/roll would it be to distinguish if the screaming of the specter is distinct from the pleading? Insight..?)
Galingal tries to speak again but just frowns when all that comes out is the pink bubbles again.

Stena shouts at Galingal,
"Leave it."
She readies another shot for the wraith.
"Fargas is down! She went through him into the floor!", Jimjar calls out, circling around the first pillar to take up a position well away from the point she may be most likely to rise from.
