YN POV

Keyleth and I join the rest of our group at the hall and we see no guards here.

Keyleth: What's happening?

Percy: Where have the guards gone?

Just then, captain Jarett and two remaining of his men get inside and lock the door.

Jarett: What did you do!?

We all look at Scanlan.

Scanlan: Don't look at me. All I did was make a hoagie.

YN: Okay, stop for a minute. What just happened Jarett?

The three of them approaches us.

Jarett: Five of my men are dead. If you didn't kill them, who did?

Suddenly the lights went out and everything went dark while Scanlan holds the book tight.

Scanlan: Uh....

My medallion begins to vibrate and we all look around. I'm not sure for everyone but I can see through the dark well. I notice Vax look up and I did the same which got me surprise.

Vax: Chancing a guess it was them.

YN:

YN:....Fuck.

The ghosts screeches and grabs two of Jarett's men and drags them to the walls n ceiling as it drains their blood. The third one grabbed Scanlan.

Keyleth: Scanlan!

Vex: They want the book!

Once the ghost were done, the book is right between us and them but Vex quickly grabs it and draw them away.

Vex: Keyleth, heads up!

She threw it at her and Keyleth turns into a jackalope? Aw so cute- focus!....before a ghost got Vex and black blood started to come out of her eyes and mouth.

    Keyleth caught the book with her mouth and runs off. As soon as she ran pass me, I cast a fire spell at the ghost and it screeches louder before it runs off. Once it was gone, another tries to drain Scanlan blood as Vax tries to save him.

Vax: Scanlan!

He grabs a knife and tries to slash it but it did nothing but went through like it was nothing.

Vax: Damn it!

YN: Vax, move!

Vax move as Grog grabs Scanlan and I immersion cast another fire spell before it runs away.

Pike: Fall back!

YN: Go, I got your back!

They all ran toward the room that has light while I try to hold them off, but the ghost are too fast.

Percy: YN!

I wasted no time and run before I slide towards the room, right when Grog shuts the door.
