Ballista's resolve holds her steady as she is unshaken by the appearance of the ghost. The soft song of inspiration comes pouring from the lips of the compact bard on the ceiling as her dark eyes flash bright to embolden the epic ballad. Then she levels the massive relic bow at the spirit upside down unleashing a trio of javelin sized arrows. Two of the arrows flash through the ghost as if it weren't even there, but the third sticks as if hitting a more mundane foe. "by all that is holy?! What is this? a ghost and a floating skull!", exclaims Harrison as he steps forward. Logan stands boldy and calls on Pelor's aid to drive away the foul ghostly figure. "By the mighty flame of Pelor, I abjure thee! Get thee back to thy grave foul apparition!" The ghost falls back to cower above the stone bier daunted by Pelor's glory and Logan's faith. Zorn is ready for the ghost like apparition. "The skull is a type of Golem. It will be immune to many spells." he tells the rest of the group."I'll try to trap the thing inside the room." The webs do little to hinder either the skull or the ghost. Garagos resists the fearsome sight of the ghost. (no action?)Grackle gibbers in worry and disgust, feeling like he might have to puke, but even so, he manages to gibber out some Gnomish words of power and blast the ghastly ghost with magical bolts of force, muttering "Go away, go away! Grackle no like!" He backs away after a few moments gibbering. He also gnashes out in rough Terran "Rocks smash that skull! Smash now!" The gnome-sized piles of rocks slide forward to pound at the skull with what amounts to arms on them, but apparently with little effect.As the gnome retreats, he realizes something and says to the rest of the group "Umm, magic skull kinda remind Grackle of bone-golems, dunno what kinda magic will work on it....so smashy-smashy!" The elementals leap to the attack and their valiant efforts come so very close, but they do not manage to strike the skull even buoyed by Ballista's inspiration. His magical missiles however, prove much more effective. With a final howl of rage despair and pain the ghost vanishes. Jillian hesitates.The skull moves forward sedately, rictus grin flickering with reflected light. It rotates trying to focus its gaze on Grackle, but he scurries up the wall and breaks line of sight with Admiral hanging on for dear life. The skull instead fixes its gaze on Zorn.
