Errona closes her eyes and rocks back and forth. She then starts mumbling
"Lady who watches from the lake..... come see us in.... Dark! Tell us something something seen!"
She the opens one eye and peeks around. Beginning to see the fog, she begins to take it a bit more seriously.... She relaxes her body and mind, tapping back into the customs of her elven heritage. The awkward gyrating motion see was doing before, slowly calms to a synchronous motion of both body and mind...
She begins to speak again, starting out as a whisper....
"Lady who watches from the lake, come to us in our darkest hour! Tell us what you've seen!"
With her body in gentle motion, she continues to repeat this phrase over and over, with each uttering becoming slightly louder than the previous...
"Yes....yes....YES~!" Rinaldo exclaims, invigorated by Errona's performance. He does a spin, followed by more erratic movements. a23 observes this with fascination, noticing when Rinaldo starts to reach for something in his back pocket...
Suddenly, a poltergeist appears in the middle of the room!
The ghost shrieks, but this is soon overwhelmed by an "AAAAAAIIAIIIIIIIIIIIYYYYEEEEIIIIIII!!!!!" from Rinaldo, his face displaying complete shock of the situation. The bard dashes out of the room, slamming the door behind him. a23 notices something fall out of his pocket before his exit.
unconvinced by both the authenticity of the “seance” and the bards mediocre performance, a23 ignores the ghost and casually steps to where rinaldo stood, retrieving the fallen object.
Errona reacts quickly to the sudden appearance of a poltergeist, firing directly at it. Roc follows suite. However, both of these attacks seem to go right through the ghost!
a23 ignores the battle, instead opting to pick up the item left behind by Rinaldo. He finds a scroll of Fog Cloud.
Attack: 23 Damage: 11
Suddenly, a23 is slammed to the wall by the ghost for 11 damage!

Errona sees her CRITICAL ARROW go through the creature and realizes that she has no chance of fighting it. She looks towards the window and moves towards it and tries to break it open.
Attack: 7 Damage: 8
If the window breaks open she wants to use her movement to escape.
The window has frosted over, and has become much harder to break than regular glass!
Words slowly start to appear on the window: "Death...has...come....for....you...."
Errona fails to open the window.
"Elder Lumen!? What is going on in there!? I.....I didn't plan on this happening...!" Rinaldo shouts from behind the door. "I should keep this door shut right? I'm keeping it shut!!!"

The specter observes Lumen's holy symbol, but does not seem fazed by it. However, when the cleric's morningstar strikes at the ghost, she shrieks in pain! "Arrrghhhh!" (7 damage)
The poltergeist turns its attention to a23 again. The robot feels a gravity-defying force around him.
Telekinetic Thrust. The poltergeist targets a creature or unattended object within 30 feet of it. A creature must be Medium or smaller to be affected by this magic, and an object can weigh up to 150 pounds.
If the target is a creature, the poltergeist makes a Charisma check contested by the target's Strength check. If the poltergeist wins the contest, the poltergeist hurls the target up to 30 feet in any direction, including upward. If the target then comes into contact with a hard surface or heavy object, the target takes 1d6 damage per 10 feet moved.
If the target is an object that isn't being worn or carried, the poltergeist hurls it up to 30 feet in any direction. The poltergeist can use the object as a ranged weapon, attacking one creature along the object's path (+4 to hit) and dealing 5 (2d4) bludgeoning damage on a hit.
a23 must make a successful strength check against the ghost's:
a23 feels a paralyzing weight against him. He realizes that it is because his ax-hand is stuck in the door!
"Ah.....um....the ghosts are usually more.....friendly!?" Rinaldo shouts from the other side of the door in response to Lumen. "I....I'm not paid enough for this....!!"
The poltergeist continues to shriek, but does no damage.
