Haunted Hall

As they round the corner the luminous, wispy form of a female elf floats in the dusty hallway before them, its face wreathed in a tangle of gossamer hair, its body clad in spectral rags that flutter around it. The apparition’s face becomes a mask of rage as it screams, “Get out of my house!”

 Thomas raises his holy symbol.

"You must leave this place."

 "And you must die!!"

Anders and Elandra drag Thomas to what remains of a large four poster bed at the back of the room. This bedroom shows signs of its previous opulence. Most likely it was set aside for honoured guests, but its furnishings have decayed with age and are covered with dust and cobwebs.

 "I'll keep watch."

The group take a short rest while Feldoran stands guard outside.
