Luckily nobody hurls as you all make it quite silently to the door. In your heads you hear "This is it! Quickly, there should only be two more guardians." As you all silently open the door you see a small room before you. The air in this chamber is alive, dancing with some unseen energy. Two thick pillars extending floor to ceiling hum. Between them sits an iron chest. You then shut the door, activate your Lights again, and head into the room as then Elonast muses: "It looks as if we've done it... although where is the guard-" She is suddenly interrupted by a creature that leaps out from behind the pillar. It seems to be made of pure energy, purple wisps of smoke emanate from its body with pulsing necrotic energy. The creature lunges forwards surprising everyone as it extends a sickly incorporeal hand towards all of you. "Ah... there it is. DESTROY IT!"
Current Status of Players: Salazar: Third into the room, 12/12 HP, Suprised - can take neither actions nor reactions Lesley: First into the room, 7/7 HP, Suprised - can take neither actions nor reactions Ord: Second into the room, 11/11 HP, Suprised - can take neither actions nor reactions Paulo: Last into the room, 10/10 HP, Suprised - can take neither actions nor reactions

Round 1 Ends, Round 2 Begins
It is now the Specter's Turn!
It extends its sickly hand once more, but this time Lesley is prepared and he manages to nimbly duck under the necrotic hand.
Lesley picks of some of the dust on the floor, throws it in the specter’s face, and high tails behind Ord and Salazar, “I don’t believe I want to be in front anymore... Also, worth noting, that is a Specter. I can’t remember much about it, but it is different from both a Ghost and a Wraith.” Lesley remarks with a push of his glasses.

Salazar swings the Glowing Flail of Galdfrey the Butler, but the strike is as fierce as the weapon’s namesake, swishing through the air without contact.
He attempts to push the Spectre back with his shield, but it seems to have little effect against the incorporeal.
”Time to do something righteous, Holy man! It pays my efforts no attention!!”

Inspired by Paulo’s bravery, Lesley claps his hands together and summons his magic from deep within himself, ”Prepare yourself monster, I will no longer hold back!” And unleashes a level 1 Witch Bolt at the specter. Lightning crackles out from his finger tips into the creature, locking into the creature like a harness.

"Brilliantly struck, Paulo! and marvelously well done, Lesley! Here, I shall have a go as well!" and with that promise, Salazar sends his flail out to strike at the phantom's torso in a fashion that he thinks perhaps makes meaningful contact.
Emboldened by a series of well struck blows Ord stands a little straighter and dares even to look directly at the apparition. Amaunator's Light, free this poor soul from the shackles of its hate! And a great pillar of light descends onto the spectre.
Ord casts Sacred Flame (DC 13 Dex save or take 1 radiant damage)

It is now the Specter's turn!
The specter wheels around and grabs Paulo after he strikes a serious blow against him (16 to hit, 10 necrotic damage), draining him almost to the brink of death. It then shrieks out with manic glee. You are all quite glad that the door is shut behind you.
Seeing Paulo go down, Lesley fires more electricity into the creature through the magic tether, “I AM NOT AFRAID OF ANY GHOSTS, er, SPECTERS!” However, the charge seemed... less then effective this time around. “...i am slightly afraid of some specters. Like you for example!”
Salazar thinks, “Something smells like that boat captain’s galley. Oh, how foul!”

Ord's face contorts into a rictus of horror. The stricken dwarf holds his arm over his nose and mouth to cover the sounds of his retching.
Between dry heaves Ord whispers, Have courage.*hurk* It's no worse than spoiled eggs. *ulk*

Paulo will move quickly into the corner of the room and Ready his action to throw a dagger at the Specter as soon as an ally is within 5 feet of it.
Lesley picks of some of the dust on the floor, throws it in the specter’s face, and high tails behind Ord and Salazar, “I don’t believe I want to be in front anymore...

You cant spell Flail without F-A-I-L.
Ord shudders with horror as the party’s trusty steel seems to have no effect on the spectre.
Crouching behind his shield he half screeches, “The Light protects! The Light protects! The Light protects!”
Finally he finds his resolve and peeks above his shield’s rim, Amaunator guide this lost soul home!
Ord cast Sacred Flame (DC 13 Dex save or 3 radiant damage).

Paulo summons his courage, slips into the space between the Specter and the column, then strikes a decisive blow with his rapier.
