Erdan hands the tiara to you, which you feel almost vibrating in your hands. As it connects with your skin, its vibration suddenly matches up with your magical resonant frequency (just some magic babble), and is attuned to you instantly.

Rinzak lets out a heavy sigh and shakes his head at the confirmation that it was simply telekinesis "What more could I expect outside of Limbo I suppose?" Almost pouting as he idly glanced around and read plaques, all but having forgot what he was actually looking for amid his disappointment. At Erdan's description of the safety measures on these artifacts, Rinzak gives a soft shrug "Sounds like an average misapplied spell back home. Or one's face after witnessing Chaos Phage firsthand." The mage watched Fen using the artifact, curious how blown his mind would be should a being from another plane of existence speak to him with a smug smirk on his face.
This post has potentially manipulated dice roll results.
Fen responds "This is Lif I presume? If so, it is a pleasure to meet you. We are here in part to help research a book on ghosts and haunted places, so do you mind me asking you some questions?"

Are you speaking out loud or telepathically?

For Fen only:
"I am Lif Wendel," Lif replies, "I am the previous owner of this tavern, when it was a tavern. You may ask your questions."

[To save time, I might put a few questions at once, though assume that Fen lets Lif answer one question before Fen asks the next]:
Fen asks "You say "when it was a tavern", do you mean that it is not a tavern now? Is there something we should know about the establishment now?"
Fen asks "Are there any secrets about this tavern that you know and are happy to share? My new friends and I are looking for adventure and treasure."
And finally, Fen asks "I hope you don't mind me asking the following questions, but how did you die? Is there a reason why you have not moved on to the afterlife? How did you manage to become a powerful ghost?"
"It is a tavern now, but after my death it stopped being a tavern for a few decades,"Lif explains.
"I know secrets about this tavern, but none that I should share without Erdan's permission or one of his previous companions permission,"He then replies.
"I am not powerful. I could likely kill you all, because you cannot see me, but I have no reason to do so. I worked in this tavern for many years, and one night I died. I'm not certain who killed me, but I know I was stabbed. I didn't move on to the afterlife because this is my home. I protected it from those who would get rid of it, or turn it into something other than a tavern." He answers.

Fen asks a few final questions "What part of the tavern were you in when you were killed?" then "When was it that you were killed?" then "Would you like us to look into your murder for you?" and finally "Do you have any clues to help us find who killed you?"
Fen then shares what he was told by Lif and offers the tiara to anyone else who wants to ask questions.
He then asks whoever doesn't take the tiara "what other questions do you think we could ask to help Volo with his research?"
Rinzak raised an eyebrow as he watched Fen seemingly speaking to himself, rubbing his temples with the tips of his fingers as he groans out "Much as I enjoy witnessing a conversation I can only hear half of might you like to clue us in even a bit as to what is being spoken of besides your rather odd inquiry to the poltergeist's death?"

Lif replies, "I was in my room, upstairs. It was nearly 60 years ago at night. If my murderer isn't dead from old age now, there's likely no way to track them down. You don't have to try. I have no clues. The City Watch couldn't solve it back then, so it's not likely now."

Rinzak stiffened a bit as he realized that he had asked a question in the middle of being given the answer, clearing his throat awkwardly before saying "Well, if he can hear perhaps share any information about what he remembers of the transition to undeath? Or any vivid descriptors of the feeling of being an incorporeal existence?" The Githzerai turns to Erdan, adding "And is there anything in particular you are wishing to share with this exchange? Seeing as your undead compatriot seems to be quite calm and amiable besides meeting and greeting I am unsure of our purpose here."

Erdan replies, "You were asked by Volo to observe a spirit, right? Well, Lif has lived in this building for many decades, driving away everyone who tried to tear it down or use it for any purpose besides being a tavern. When Henenu Bakafre, Jasper Copperkettle, and Alberich Trollbleeder were awarded this tavern for rescuing his friend, they decided to turn it into the tavern that I'm now the proprietor for. Lif was agreeable, and helps clean up after we close down. He sweeps, washes dishes, and so on. Could any of this be used for Volo's book? Did you learn anything from this? If not, I would happily help you."
He then pauses for a moment, and then says, "If you would like to ask him questions, put on the tiara to get the response."
Erdan mumbles a bit, and replies, "I'm not sure. Lif, can you help us? Remember, that tiara we brought back from Undermountain? The telepathic one?"
Lif: Investigation 21
Suddenly, you see hovering in the air, a tiara, glowing and sparkling faintly.

Erdan walks over to the floating tiara, grabs it out of the air, and says, "Thanks, Lif."
He says, "Who would like to speak to him first?"

Fen volunteers, saying "I wouldn’t pass up a chance to speak to someone ‘from the other side’".

Fen pops it on his head and tries speaking with his mind "Hello, can anyone hear me?"
You are wearing the tiara, and you hear telepathically from Lif, "Hello, changeling."
