I will try to extract my sword from the dead wight's body. Then, with my sword in my right hand and my dagger in my left hand, I will move to join Draussa to face the frustrated "goddess".

[Does the frustrated "goddess" look familiar? Like Joseph's daughter maybe? Just trying to understand what is happening...]

"Do we need to burn the body of this...."wight"?

Jigimy stomps on the head of the dead creature...

"I don't want this thing coming back to life!"

Staring mouth agape in awe that the creature went down, I will be slightly unhinged at another undead coming at me, I will try to grab my precious symbol of Pathmeer quickly enough and begin my incantation.......do I have enough time to finish my prayer to Pathmeer? (Turn Undead?)

A beautiful. but ghastly pale young woman with blood on her hands sits there, like waiting.

Path grinds to a halt at the top of the stairs and startles. He almost falls down again, but manages to grab hold of a post.

"Who.. are you... I haven't killed anybody.", he pants. He glances back at the stairs to see if Rowell's men are behind him. If they're aggressive, Path tries to turn into a thin fume of mist.

"You will all... pay for Ademar and Mant... And Itrian..."

Without taking any further notice of the scared lumberjack, the pale lady jumps through the room and down the stairway. Path can hear the mercenaries cry and shout and hears the sound of battle.

[No, she doesn't. She bears a perverse similarity to the wight, if at all to any person you have seem lately.]

Kalen jumps over to Jigimy. "Later! - Now fight or flee, you dwarf!" The young thief points at the descending figure and fires another crossbow bolt into its direction, but misses.

The girl hisses like a snake as Draussa raises her holy symbol.

Try it! Come on! Try it!

And suddenly, Draussa has that headache sensation. Her concentration breaks, and she is pushed on the ground again.

"Distract her! The cleric is our only chance!" Rowell, scared, yells from beyond.

Another bolt cuts through the air and through the ghost, but doesn't harm the girl.

If "the girl" is near the ground I will run at her waving my sword in the air to distract her; otherwise, I will put my sword and dagger away and unsling my heavy crossbow and take a pot shot at her.

I yell out to the girl, "What is it you want? Or are you just some spirit bent on killing?" I prepare another arrow, but hold my shot.

"By the gods, I need a drink...", Path whispers as he shakes his head.
After a while, he'll take a look down the stairs at what's going on there.

The second stage is empty again - some blood was shed on the floor and on the walls. Bloody, animal-like footprints point to Arecia's old room, and some crossbow bolts spike the wall near the stairs.

Path suddenly has a strange feeling of déjà-vue... Somebody or something is standing right behind him!



OUTSIDE:

Small lightning darts flash from the fingers of the glowing figure and cross the air, aiming at Sven. But when the supposedly deadly rays reach the warrior, the haöf-elf will feel nothing but a sting, like from a bee...

The girl descends even more, until she almost touches the ground.

The figure's eyes seem to glow even more threatening, as she focuses her look on Erdath.

Arrogant mortal! I am a higher being than you will ever be able to aspire! Knee before me, or you shall be knelt!

The girls starts to wave her arms in the air, and one can her her whisper in the tongue of magic...

From Draussa:

I fight through the pain as much as I can. I am so angry now, I squint and try my best to get up and recite my incantation.

If I am able to, I say........."Aroundam Donounman, Carajouam Pathmeer Elamenster Treasurastum......." with my Holy Symbol Held out, willing it to penetrate her.

If I am unable to recite my incantation because of distraction, I will blindly swing my Mace at the appirition and yell to my comrades "All those who have strong faith, c'mon and all of us can try at the same time."

Without turning around, Path whispers to the thing behind him. Why should a man who doesn't have anything to lose be afraid anyway?

"Why are you doing this? Why me?"
His eyes are fixed on the bloody smears downstairs.

"I didn't earn this, did I?"


[[ Sorry if this feels unnatural. I found it really hard to continue playing Path in anguish and terror. ]]

Jigimy empties his flask of oil on the fallen creature and starts to light it aflame. He watches the others as they deal with the apparition.

(OOC: Couldn't it be possible that Path is fed up with being scared? Jigimy certainly is.)

I let my prepared arrow fly at the girl.

INSIDE:

Path hears heavy breathing from behind, and then the voice of one of the young mercenaries: "I swear, I am not used to do murder, but if you don't decide on which side you want to fight, I will cut your throat where you stand, mist-man."

The youngster behind Path stops for a moment and sighs. "What have we done to you that these creatures haunt us without end?"

[Are you aware that the glowing ghost is right in front of you? Shocked ]

The ghost hisses and turns to Jigimy.

MOTHER! YOU WILL PAY FOR THIS SACRILEGE!

Again, white flames spring from the image's hands, and dart towards Jigimy, burning his flesh... [2 DAM]

But that distraction is enough for Draussa, Rowell and Sven to swing their weapons against the ghast.

[Draussa's concetration check failed again... The ghost's voice is just to plangent and shrill to let her think while she's near the ghost...]

The girl dissapears in a cloud of fog when you hit her, only to appear a second later somewhere high in the sky, obviously crying.


HOW CAN YOU DO THIS TO ME? AGAIN AND AGAIN, YOU DISRESPECT ME! YOU ARE ALL GOING TO DIE HERE; I SWEAR! ARROGANT MORTALS!

Then, she looks down on you with a bitter grin.

NOW... I'LL LET YOU TASTE THE POWER OF A GODDESS!

She waves her hand, and in the next moment, Jigimy falls back on the ground, like dead!
