Grakir stands there for a second, not really used to being welcomed like this. "I'm excited for this holiday. What was it called, the Night of Spirits?"
"Oh, yes!" The Master claps and stomps his feet like an excited six-year-old, except he's hundreds of years old and weighs hundreds of pounds. "The day is fast approaching! On that day, we provide free masks and treats (especially morbid ones) in honor of my fellow nightmare spirits! You have to be there!"
"Oh, I very much hope so! Your friends, the nightmare spirits, are they staff too? Or do they do as they please, and attend the celebration?"
"The second one. They are very mercurial. In fact, here's a tidbit of history about the holiday:
Long, long ago, on the night of the year when spirits are strongest, one village put out tribute on their front porches to satisfy the nightmares. The next year, the spirits went door to door, demanding similar tribute from others. Eventually, some kids decided to dress up in cheap spirit costumes to demand tribute as well, in the form of candy. The spirits, amused by this prank, then started disguising themselves as children disguising as spirits and demanding similar tribute. Nowadays, it's impossible to tell whether it's a spirit or a child knocking at your door, so we give them toys and sweets anyway. It's no just for ritual; it's for safety."
"Scary, but fun! I feel honored to be able to attend this." He lets his skeleton shrink back to its normal size. "Oh, do you mind if you or someone else shows me to my room?"
"Of course, I'll escort you! But I thought that I should say, I talked with the Hold, so now it won't move the rooms anymore. There was an incident where a guest's door opened to a brick wall. Never mind that, let's go to your room."
After about three minutes of walking, the two reach room 002. "001 is my room. We give rooms to guests based on the order they order rooms. Just press your hand to the door and it will recognize your soul. Even if you get reincarnated, as is so common in the mists, the room will still know you."
"Oh, so am I the second guest to order a room? That's fun." Grakir presses a talon against the door, turns the handle, and walks in.
*this is the last thing Grakir did before I had to leave, but I'm back now*
*Actually, you describe the room.*

The interior walls are solid oak, painted black, same thing with the floorboards. In the center of the room, a granite outcrop of rock juts out, extending about 15 feet into the air. At the top, it has a sort of bowl-shaped indent, with what seems to be a huge nest of sorts. Moving some of the twigs, leaves, and the like, reveals a small tunnel that leads into the center of the rock, big enough to fit maybe two or three people. There is no ceiling in the room, it just opens up to a pale sky, all color having been extracted from it. If you go far enough, the air will start to almost solidify, and push you back towards the room. There are a few chests surrounding the rock, and some bookshelves with some mysterious tomes resting there.

He holds out a large book. On its pages are four names: John Krithe, Willard Krithe, Erica, and Rose McCarthy.
"You'll be held in the history of the Hold forever, and we'll be able to contact you if we need to."

Thanatos comes out and watches them after he finishes his water
as he stabs one of the skeletons, vines and roots burst out of the ground and tear them to shreds. "Oh, hey. how are you doing?"
