Location: Dretchroyaster's Treasure Vault Encounter: Guardian Ghosts
The room erupted into chaos as it became clear that it would be impossible to remove the idol without enraging the ghostly guardians. Auraia drew her newly-found sword and it sang as if playing only the high-notes of some forgotten orchestra. The ghost-captain, Tamanier, moved toward her saying,
"You were warned and did not obey!" in his archaic elven speech. Kurzon tried to interpose himself, but the ghost flew through him, a strange and unsettling sensation.
Just before the ghost reached Auraia, however, Drako fired his eldritch blasts. The ghost was struck from behind as if it were a solid creature, and it spun to the side, ducking his second blast. The ghost slashed his ghostly sword at Auraia, who whirled around as if made of wind herself, sliding around his blows.
Torbin fired arrows into the melee as other ghosts moved to back up their captain. Yet again, one of his arrows passed harmlessly by while the other, though it also passed through, seemed to frustrate the ghostly creature. As one of the ghosts slashed at Kurzon, who expertly defended himself, Lorenn danced forward, his magical rapier humming. The blade bit into the ghost with a loud sound and it was clear he had dealt its ethereal form a grievous blow, though the creature stood and continued to fight.
Udit's arrow flew true, and much like Torbin's it passed through the creature while disrupting the strange stuff from which it was made. One of the ghosts rushed toward Drako, and it slashed it's ghostly sword through the warlock. It was terribly painful and left a black mark, but no open wound could be seen.
The last of the ghosts rushed toward Auraia and was caught-up in her whirlwind. Even it's ghostly form seemed to swirl around, its sword bending and stretching in impossible ways.
