Garen, Simon and Rod walk slowly towards the crib while Reshi stays behind to check the room. It looks abandoned, no one lived here for a long time. Then Reshi goes to the balcony. From there a depressive view opens up. A black mist engulfs the whole town, preventing from seeing more than a few hundred feets away. The few visible streets are completely empty.
In the meantime Garen, Simon and Rod check the child's room. You lift the shroud—and nothing's there. The wailing? Gone. The baby? Nowhere to be found, just an empty bundle… And then you hear her on the bed behind you: a weeping woman, skeletal-thin, dressed in a soiled, white gown. She looks over her shoulder, hair hanging like rotted vines. Her face stretches impossibly far into a ghastly visage, and she screams! The flesh falls from her face in tattered chunks; one leg shifts through the bed, and in a single stride her bleeding claws are at your throat!

Simon you still need to do your character sheet!!!
Simon recoils from the horrific creature but recovers himself. "The dead should stay dead." He says, casting Chill Touch on the skeletal apparition. Attack: 14 Damage: 5 Then he backs away until the crib is between him and the creature and lets his more melee-oriented companions engage it in hand-to-hand combat.
"Whoa" The Warlock yelps at the apparition, rolling back almost falling..."Ehi ehi ehi...little skeletal woman...we are not on the menù...not really..." Rod flickers his fingers in the air while from his satchel he produces a bit of phosphorus who lits up after some murmuring from the Drow, in four, different, white glooming lights ((Rod casts: Dancing Lights))...moving his hands and fingers Rod make the lights fuse in a vague, humanoid form a baby, he hangs the lights creature in the air, upon the woman, trying to divert her attention from theme...
As soon as the fiend appears behind Reshi, he strikes at him with his shortsword just for it to pass trough it, disturbing his being just a little. Right after Simon hits as well producing almost the exact results. Meanwhile Rod tries to create an image of a ghostly baby, momentarily distracting the woman allowing Garren to prepare his spell and hit with it the distracted being.
The ghost then turns back to the party, after certifying that the ghostly image of the baby was merely a decoy. She opens her mouth and from there an ethereal substance flies towards Reshi.
(Ooc: That hing hits hard! Reshi only has 1 hp left...)
Reshi, not understanding what the thing is, and seeing that the image of the baby distracted it for a moment, will cast prestidigitation. He will make the sound of the baby crying that they heard moments before, coming from the room with the armour and staircase.

Garren, realizing that the creature is rather horribly dangerous and not thinking about the safety of this clearly haunted house, runs forward to be standing next to Reshi and casts Burning Hands so that the cone only encompasses the monster and no one from the party.

"Ehi...ehi....pale thing...stops throw up on my friend...that is..not..not....appropriate to do..." the Warlock says keeping back up form the creature "Ehi ehi..but...ehi wait" Rod's rod starts glowing of a green, pulsing, rotten light, "Ehi ehi, I don't think we should attract att..." the Warlock doesn't finish the phrase when a crackling beam of green-dark energy erupts from his rod towards the woman..

A blast of energy hits the specter dissolving part of its body, and right when it was ready to strike a weeping resounds from somewhere above. As the sound of a crying baby echoes trough the halls, the phantom turns her head towards the sound. "My child, my beloved Walter" she yells "What did they do to you?". Then she slowly starts drifting towards the cry, disappearing into a wall.

Reshi moves to let the ghostly woman pass, but as Simon follows it he will try to grab him and whisper as quietly as he can. “The cries are my doing. We could try to get away now if we so choose.” He looks to the other two as well for an answer.
Stelth: 17
(Does Reshi recall any information from earlier, when he was flipping through the books, that would explain the ghostly woman? Or if the punishment placed on the villagers could have anything to do with it?)

"You... you want to get away from here? I...I don't know...what if we take a short breath here, we could think about what we are missing because, of course, there is something, the black cloaks, the specter here"
((OOC: If someone needs a short rest, Rod in the meanwhile, explore this room Investigation 10))
Reshi tries to recall something about the ghostly woman, but fails. Her face isn't familiar to you at all.
You all decide to do a short rest while thinking about the horrors of the house and about what you just saw. While you're resting lots of unsettling noises resound all around you. Then, at some point, you all hear footsteps stopping outside of your door. Then, after a few moments, the footsteps can be heard again, this time moving away from the door. Soon after, a grinding noise can be heard coming from somewhere above you.
Simon sinks into the nearest vestibule. "A rest would be in order." He agrees, once more retrieving the Bookof Simon from his pack and flipping obsessively through it. The more attentive members of the party notice that he has developed a noticeable twitch and his runny eye has acted up again.

Hearing the screaming from behind him, Reshi turns to see flesh falling from the woman’s face and her running towards his companions.
Reshi runs after the nightmarish thing and takes a swing at it with his shortsword.
Attack: 8 Damage: 6

Garren manages to compose himself somewhat, casting the most banal spell he can think of, Eldritch Blast

Simon desperately flips through his spellbook. "Where is your child?" He yells.

Do you do anything else?

Reshi has an opportunity attack.
Recieving no reply, Simon would cast Frostbite on the horror. (DC 13 Constitution ST)
"Let us follow it," Simon whispers, darting into the hall and trying to navigate to the room where the child is located judging by it's cries.

Garren agrees that a short rest is in order, as he is quite uncomfortable from what has been going on.
Sorry, holidays and stuff. Back on track now!
((roll for your rest!))
Rod
So nothing in this room for my 21 Investigation check?
"This House is living mates......can you heard that...the footsteps...maybe there is something above we do not check before...are you ready to go?"
