As you leave the room, you feel the change immediately...
The temperature begins to rapidly fall, and in seconds your breath comes out in streams of white. Frost begins to coat the walls, and your metals weapons become ice cold. From behind, the maniacal laughter starts again. Turning you see the skull back on the nightstand, and the hairs on your arms and neck (or scales) rise up as an evil foreboding lays heavily on your spirit.
A light catches your eye as the orb, clearly a skull, emerges from room 9 (2 doors down). The skull is encased in an oversize lantern, and as a spectral arm emerges holding the lantern by a long chain the skulls features morph and become that of Olena. I look of mad glee in her eyes as she turns toward you.
Ice now begins to coat the walls, and frost even clings to your clothes. Any metal now burns cold to the touch.
As the spectral figure emerges fully though the door it lifts the lantern up toward its face, you see the shadowed face looks similar to that of the bartender. The twisted, hideous look on its face speaks of eternal torment and a terrible loathing of all life. With an unholy scream the abomination moves toward you, death in its eyes!!

Though you don't know what the creatures are, but they are clearly the most fearsome of the horrors so far.
Darwin
Religion: 18
You recognize both apparitions. Olena is a Specter, and the inkeeper is a "White Specter" [A 1e monster, more than 2x as nasty as the Guards you faced], Both hunger to devour the life and souls of the living.
Horus
Arcana: 24, Religion 18
You recognize both apparitions. Olena is a Specter, and the innkeeper is a "White Specter" [A 1e monster, more than 2x as nasty as the Guards you faced, in 1e it is an 8HD monster, capable of life draining]. Both hunger to devour the life and souls of the living. Any soul devoured becomes the slave of White Specter.
Even at your best, you are no match for these creatures.
Cellica whips her head around when Horus shoots away. All color drains out of her face as she beholds Olena and the barkeeper and before she knows it her legs are carrying her as fast as they could after Horus. "What the hell is that Horus?!" she asks him. She had been ready to fight but his reaction had made her change her mind. she had already sustained some wounds and if not for Terrance she would have been dead... she wrangles a torch from her backpack and tries to light it as well.
Trusting that the others were panicked for a good reason, Wren runs with them. Seeing them starting to work torches, "Throw me one!" If someone passes him one, he will start lighting it with the fireplace if its burning, or his tinderbox if not. If no one passes him one, he'll light his lantern instead.
You rush down the stairs, running as fast as you can, taking the stairs three at a time. The howling apparitions appear above the tavern’s main floor on the balcony. Then a hideous sight greets your eyes. You realize that the fireplaces and the lamps are lit on the lower-level of the tavern. At each table, in exactly the same position they were in before, are the patrons of the taverns. Most horrible of all though, is that they are all rotting corpses. They slowly look up from their bloody drinks and rotten food, lift their cups to you, and begin banging them on the tables as they begin to laugh with unholy mirth!!!
Cellica, already freaked out by the appearance of Olena, is now even more freaked out. She doesn't have magic, she can't punch her way through some things and this seemed like something she definately wouldn't be able to fight her way out of. Only having one torch she could not hand another to Wren. "Well they all seem very lovely." she murmurerd to Horus and Wren while holding her torch high.

Who is the extra? I remember the blind man, his daughter, the priest, the two mages, the two Halflings, the Dwarf, two guards, the barkeep, his daughter... that’s twelve.
Have we got an extra, and -if so- would Horus notice?

edit- I had A typo in my roll for perception, so it didn’t punch in any roll at all. When i fixed it, it says tampered rolls. Feel free to reroll them.

Andolin runs with the others, commanding himself to overcome the urge to stand and fight. As he does, he tosses two torches to Wren, and pulls two more out. If there is somewhere to light them without straying too far from the group, he will do that, otherwise he will stay with the group.
If possible, I'd also like to roll to see through any kind of illusory spell.

With a tremble in his voice “Th-the way I s-see it, we have two options: burn it down and take our chances with the fog, or tr-try to last til dawn. We’re almost there, but...” Horus looks around at the horrible patrons and continues in a small voice
Cellica's eyes shoots to every single 'patron' to memorize their locations, who they are and what kind of powers they might have. The damned guards were back as well and one of them knocked her out cold before. She didn't feel particularly inclined to stick around for that to happen again "Honestly, I don't feel inclined to have another round with these ...creatures." she says and eyes the door which is open and looked very inviting. "But I'll go with the groups choice. Either we make a break for it and burn this place to the ground and hope it sticks, or we try to hold out..." she glances back to Wren and Andolin who joined them, gripping her staff with the hand that isn't holding the torch. "Personally I want to make a break for it and burn the evil that holds this place together."

"By Melora's grace..." Darwin mutters under his breath, He wouldn't have noticed the change in temperature due to his Lineage but would have definitely noticed Olena. Every fibre of his being told him to strike down these creatures but he decided against that. Instead following after his companions.
Seeing the patrons have returned in poorer states, Darwin snarls and looks to the door. "We burn this place down and everything inside it." Darwin pulls a torch from his side and lights it, Looking to his companions as he awaits to see if they would agree. "A blasted Specter and a White Specter, we are in no shape to combat these undead abominations."

“I suppose that’s our cue. I’m just going to walk straight away from the tavern. I hope to see you all again.”
Horus takes three torches out with him. He rests one on a window sil to catch the wood fire. He runs outside and throws one up onto the roof. He holds onto the other, hoping that it helps the others to see him. He runs straight out from the door.
(OoC- I hope this works, I friggin’ hate these options lol)

Horus will run as far as the front door. If the fireplace still is burning, he’ll try to light a torch from it.

Are there curtains, or something easily flammable?
