(As long as you meet the requirement for the ST you are good, donuts only damage not the reduction of Max HP)

Kayla's hit barely lands, however, it's not enough to defeat the specter.

Dex ST 19

The specter is able to avoid the ignition created by Kai and we'll start the second round.

Benito wrestles his face away from the specter and follows up with a strike with greatsword 

Attack: 12 Damage: 11

With Divine Smite if successful: 13 (2d8 for divine smite + 1d8 against undead)

After receiving Benito's powerful blow and smite the spirit takes a gaseous form and explodes in a flash of light and sorrowful moans, then there's silence and you can be confident that you've defeated another creature from the house.

"We are getting good at this." - proudly announcing their most recent victory, the Svirfneblin ponders briefly. "Benito's divine powers seem to be quite effective. If anyone got similar nature of power, it might be safe to say that it should be used." - cautiosly looking around, he puts all his senses at work for the safety of the companions.

Investigation 8

Kai frowns slightly and sighs, knowing she has divine power as well but it was nevertheless ineffective. 

"Is there anything else in this room? Or should we move on? Benito? Are you alright?"

Perception: 18

"Yea, I think my Divine Smite was really the only effective damage I could deal to the specter. That being said, I think my divine powers have been depleted for now, it takes quite a toll." 

The nursery contains a crib covered with a hanging black shroud.

Bukowyr walks cautiously towards the crib, looking for signs of carvings, engravings and sculpting of eerie motifs that has been the signature of the furniture in this likewise eerie place.

Unless someone objects, Benito will sheath his great sword and use his Halberd to lift the black shroud up and away being careful to keep 10ft away from the crib not wanting to be surprised by anything unseen in the crib.

At the mention of smiting the whispers turned into a chorus and she winced.  Well, they'd just have to wait.  She wasn't anywhere near that powerful... yet.

After removing the shroud you can see see a tightly wrapped, baby-sized bundle lying in the crib.

Kai peers into the crib from a safe distance. "Is there a baby in that bundle? Should we... remove the bundle?" 

(Is there a baby visible in said bundle?)

It's not possible to discern what's covered in that baby size bundle.

Bukowyr remains at safe distance, waiting for the Goliath to use his weapon to unveil the crib.

Kayla looks at the bundle with rising dismay.  Please, don't let it be what she thinks it might be.  For all her horror, she can't seem to look away. 

"Perhaps a more careful approach with... whatever it is," Kayla suggests.

 Steeling herself she casts mage hand.  Manipulating the spectral hand, she begins to unwrap the bundle.

Kai takes another step back from the crib for safety as Kayla unwraps the bundle, also skeptical of its contents. 

Kayla's arcane hand manages to slowly peel the bundle, with each layer set aside the tension grows, until it reveals... Nothing.

A breath of relief accompanied by a wide-eyed expression...and a burst of laughter is all Bukowyr has to offer.

"Thank Tymora!" Kayla blurts out and then reprovingly shakes her head at the empty crib.  "This house is just awful.  I leads us to think the worst and nothing happens and then it launches a surprise in the next moment.  Anything else we should check here?"
