Andrømedacan tell that she's not having the impact that she wants with each swing, even when they connect; but, in this case, it was enough. After her hasted action, the specter dissipated into the ether with an angry scream. It's gone.
After the final creature falls, Kwisatz starts looking over the bodies trying to determine who they were, and perhaps if they'd found anything ((investigation 17 - or I'll take the one above :P - it seems we were typing at the same time)). Also, another ~40 seconds after the creatures drop Andromeda suddenly feels a surge of lethargy wash over her as Haste fades.

((Going with either your roll or mine, would have the same result, so we can go with either.))
Andrømeda, injured and far more exhausted than usual after her adrenaline fades looks around at the slain zombies, and what seems likely to be the corpses of those they had hoped to save, and rubs her hand over her face, trudging tiredly to the nearest wall. She rests her back against it, sliding down to the floor she quietly pulls out an old rag and begins wiping the ichor from the blade of her axe, muttering to herself.
All of you rolled well enough on Investigation to notice a few things:
Andrømeda: after resting for a few moments because of her exhaustion, she begins searching in one of the sarcophagi in the room and finds a potion of healing. In another one, she finds that it is empty.
Kwisatz: Once again, Kwiz notices that among the dead is one human guard and two elf scholars. Kwisatz thinks he might recognize one of them, but it wasn't anyone he knew well enough to even remember their name.
Rush: looks in the sarcophagus, the one nearest him, and he finds 390 copper, 380 silver, 240 gold, and three gemstones that are a transparent blue-white color.
Sael: notices boot prints that don't belong to the party or the dead that you've encountered thus-far heading back out the way you all came in. She follows them for a short bit and she notices that they turn down the last hallway you all passed before coming into this room (heading in a westerly direction).
Andrømeda looks at the potion for a moment before wandering out into the hall in pursuit of Sael. Walking up to her, she hands her the potion, giving her a nod and saying, her voice subdued, "For de one du purchased me." She looks down the hall her Tiefling friend had been scouting, turning back to her with a questioning look.

"These are men from the library where I'd studied. Though I haven't worked with them myself, I had seen them passing in the halls."Kwisatz says to the group, clearly worried "I do hope we can find some alive... I wonder what they were searching for, and what caused the dead to rise..."
Sael looks up at Andrømeda and nods in thanks. Then she turns to look down the hallway again and says "Do you see those boot tracks? They don't belong to anything or anyone we've seen so far..."

Andrømeda thinks she might hear some noises coming from the direction they're looking. It could be...the sound of a crying child? She's not sure. It could be almost anything with how sound could be distorted from bouncing off of the walls...
Andrømeda raises a hand, putting a finger to her lips as she listens, turning to the group and whispering loud enough to be heard by everyone, "Am can hear a barn. A child. Dir is crying..." She speaks hesitantly, uncertain.

"Wait a minute..." says Sael. "I wouldn't trust it. A child? Why would a child be here? It's probably some crazy demon ghost or something."

After a brief pause, she continues "And those are boot prints. What kind of fool would bring a child in here? Are you sure that's what you heard?" she asks Andrømeda.

Round 2, Turn 5 - Beginning of Kwisatz's Turn
I didn't update the map because the only change is that Specter 2 is dead.

Kwisatz focuses on the remaining zombie, as it seemed his magic was still normally effective towards them.

((We'll apply that to the remaining Specter since that's the only target still around.))
A frigid beam of blue-white light streaks toward the specter and the specter is now very low. Its also moving a bit slower.
Next up is Rush! (The map hasn't changed since last time.)

For the sake of moving forward, I am going to go ahead and take Rush's turn. ((nschrock, let me know if you would have done something different!))
Rush is going to use his Bonus Action to move his Spiritual Weapon over to the Specter and attack:
Seeing that the attack vanquished the last specter, Rush puts his mace down.
Combat is now over.

"Den's hard to say. De valls do not make for good sound, but a barn is vhat den sounded like." Andrømeda shrugs.
