As the group heads towards the door, Ermren pauses briefly, moving over to the west wall and tapping it gently, "Odd, this wall isn't quite even. A house like this with people like these, perhaps a hidden door of some kind?"
Just as Gillain was about to open the door, Ermren says: "Odd, this wall isn't quite even. A house like this with people like these, perhaps a hidden door of some kind?" The entire turns and watches Ermren as he presses on the wall of the southwest corner of the main room, near the stairs. To everyone's surprise, there is a small click, and the wall presses in and slides to the left.
As Ermren opens the door there is the faint sound of the laughter of children and running footsteps that come echoing down into the newly found room.
The secret panel reveals a small 5 ft. by 5 ft. landing with a set of old rotted stairs that lead up to the next floor. The landing and stairs are covered in thick cobwebs and the air is stale.
Gillainhears the faint sounds of children and footsteps, but she knows she's been spooked by this house before. Against her instinct to rush to the children ('if indeed there even are any children' she tells herself), she swallows hard and takes a deep breath, and reminds herself to remain cautious...
Unless the others want to head up the stairs (and she would be easily swayed to do that!), she will grit her teeth and methodically continue on, to the door they were about to open and keep checking rooms on this floor...
"Press on here, on this floor? ...or head upstairs?...." she asks the group.
The wolf pins its ears back in discomfort at the ghostly sounds, poking his head into the entrance of the hidden passage. He sniffs a few times, cautious of anything that might be ahead which might surprise them.
Having listened to her friends, Gillain decides to open what appears to be (from the map) the last door on this floor they haven’t been through. She does so, as always, with her spear and shield at the ready.
The door opens to a dust, and cobweb-covered room. The entrance to the room goes 5 ft. in then opens to a 20 ft. x 15 ft. room with a small door 10 ft. into the room along the north wall.
A large queen-sized bed sits along the west wall of the room, with the headboard resting on the west wall. To the right and left of the bed are two end tables. Each end table has a vase sitting on top of it with what appears to be rotted flowers resting in each vase. There is a glint of gold and silver on the southernmost end table.
A Vanity rests on the east wall of this room. There is a large, full-body mirror to the right of the Vanity.
In the middle of this room, walking to and fro across the floor is a ghostly apparition. It is of a young thin woman with black hair, wearing a white silk nightgown. She paces back and forth across the floor, in front of the bed and. She is holding her left hand in the palm of her right hand and rubs her palm as she paces. You can hear her repeat over and over "What have they done? What have they done? as she paces. When the party enters she turns towards them and screams: "WHERE IS HE? WHAT HAVE YOU DONE WITH HIM?. Her hair stands out on end and she has a sickly purplish glow about her as she charges the party.

Gillain's initiative: 17
((I think you can speak out of turn? Is that right? If so, please see below. If not, I think this will be Gillain's first turn...))
Seeing the apparition in such distress, and hearing her plea, Gillain responds with "Wait!!... We're here to help!...... We're here looking for your baby...".
Persuasion if needed: 12
((not sure if she could also take the dodge action too? If she can, she will. But maybe persuasion is her action)).
The Bob-wolf pads into the room, sniffs once, blinks at the woman and freezes, fur bristling. He doesn't growl this time or snarl, merely letting out a high-pitched, whimpering whine as he stood in the doorframe transfixed. Gillain's cry snapped him out of it and he darts behind her legs, cowering behind her fearfully.
Gillain tries to reason with the spirit but it is unconsolable and continues her attack on the party. Wolf-Bob darts back between Gillain's legs and cowers. Ermren takes a defensive stance as the Specter charges the party. Dmitri draws his Long Sword and strikes. The weapon passes through the apparition doing no damage. Toi steps forward and strikes. The Warforge's attacks pass through the apparition. The phantom Nursemaid reaches out to attack Gillain, the target she focused on when the party entered. Hit: 22
