Their vision is enhanced by the dancing lights spell allowing them to make out a bit of color here and there near the light. The crates are piled up in an organized fashion but several rows have toppled during the crash creating obstacles. Their scouting reveals a pathway to the doors that avoids the dead ends. Some work tables have dark stains around their bases. One of the stains has been smeared all the way back to a small air vent in the wall to the right of where the group entered.You catch movement out of the corner of your eye but it is hard to tell what it was. You do your best to listen but from your height and the sound of rushing air/flapping wings it is hard to make out anything. You don't think whatever it was was very large but there are several of them lurking among the crates.Meanwhile, back up top, Doral and Kraken discover an open stairwell leading down to the floor of the room. Once on the ground they begin moving cautiously forward. As they pass by one of the benches Doral stops. Somebody is cowering under the desk. He signals to Kraken and both of you ready your weapons and face the desk. As they stare, the figure looks up at Doral. The man's eyes are wide with panic and his mouth is open in a silent scream. Doral is filled with an overwhelming despair radiating from that visage. The figure grabs at its own face and pulls hard, splitting apart and vanishing into disintegrating shadows. It leaves behind a lingering sensation of anguish and despair. As it clears you notice the bloody smear under the desk and drag marks leading away towards the right hand wall.Doral[SBLOCK]You are affected by <a href="http://paizo.com/pathfinderRPG/prd/spells/crushingDespair.html#crushing-despair" target="_blank">Crushing Despair</a> from the haunt. You both spotted the haunt before it manifested, but without the spells needed to counter its specific weakness and having never encountered a haunt before I roleplayed it as you readying against an attack. [/SBLOCK]Kraken[SBLOCK]You believe that the creature was a lingering negative experience or emotion. Not quite an undead but something unnatural. Unfortunately you don't know enough about them to know how best to fight them.[/SBLOCK]</blockquote>
