"I've no idea what you're talking about; so far, these undead haven't laid a boney finger on me," Snaggle says as he walks towards the far exit to the room.

As Snaggle makes his way to the ajar door, he notices marks on the floor that indicate the villager's corpse was dragged by the beetle from this direction. Your short rest after the defeat of the beetle does mean that the kobold's force shield has expired; however, he is also beginning to recover from his earlier fall in the pillow pit. Otherwise, Snaggle is unharmed and in the best shape, and he leads the way past the open door.

The next hallway is very short and turns left very soon after the door. You can all see that light spills its way into the hall from the next room, accompanied by the smell of smoke.

Once you reach the next broad chamber, you see that the remains of a small fire smoldering in the center is the source of the light, as well as the plume of oily smoke. Fed by a heap of burning gear, debris, and more than few bones, the fire casts a flickering light across the walls of this room, partially obscured by the veil of smoke. Otherwise, it appears that there are no other exits from this area.

"This must be where the other villagers camped," Snaggle says as he moves to search the room.
OOC: now he rolls a 20

"I got it, big guy." Gamble moves forward into the room with palms outstretched, trying to detect any sources of magic from the room.

As you walk further into the room, you discover that the smoke cloud hanging in this room is actually quite harsh, causing eyes to water and breathing to become labored. Already your perception is impaired (-2 to Perception and attacks), but lengthy time spent in this room could cause a coughing fit (DC 10 Fortitude check after 1 minute).

Almost immediately, the flickering shadows on the wall play tricks with Snaggle's mind. Long, dark fingers stretch out across the wall, seemingly reaching with menacing intent for the kobold. The long shadows stretch back like arms to dancing wisps of shadow that are vaguely humanoid in form. After a moment of observing the lifelike shapes, Snaggle spots a scorched key on the ground just on the other side of the fire. A metallic glint from the middle of the fire itself also catches his attention, although the thick smoke and flames makes it difficult to make out.

As Gamble begins his detection ritual, he immediately makes a discovery. One or more magical auras are indeed originating from this chamber.

Snaggle gestures towards the odd shadow and sends a jet of flame towards it.

Gamble's continued channeling of his ritual divines the presence of two separate auras of magic, though both are not overly powerful (faint).

The suddenly suspicious kobold unexpectedly lets loose with a magical blast at the most menacing of the writhing shadows. As the wall is bathed in flame, the shadow reacts in a very animated manner, seemingly startled by pain. It pulls itself together, resembling a human form even more so, and now glaring at you with burning red embers where the eyes would be. It begins silently advancing, shadowy claws no longer bound to the floor and walls, but reaching through the air towards the kobold assailant himself...

GM: We'll continue trying out the previous initiative system. Joseph and/or Snaggle may act before the Shadow.

"Look out! It's some kind of ghost," Snaggle says as he conjures protective wards.
