Lola will keep the lenses, take a sunrod and 11 bolts.
She then agrees to going north, only after someone checks the door.

Re: [Active Thread] The Third Face of Evil
Marcus will take the feather, necklace, and the illusion potion to identify again now if possible or later when able. He'll also take the wand. If no one else claims any of the remaining bolts he'll take them to hold for when needed. The alchemists fire also.
He's ready when everyone else is to move on. He ask permission to cast light on Worrel's weapon again and stick by his side. His plan is to use up his rays before turning to the wand of mm.

Re: [Active Thread] The Third Face of Evil
Marcus refreshes the light spell on Worrel's weapon. After Prost confirms there are no traps, Worrel opens the northern secret door. He finds a small chamber with another, non-secret door leading north, which he also opens.
Ahead is a larger chamber. Although the room is well lit by braziers on the walls, Worrel can see only a portion of it from his vantage point. What he can see, though, is mildly disturbing. The floor here consists of square, bone white tiles that measure about a foot across. The walls are made of a dull gray marble covered with strange, circular bulges in an irregular pattern. Of particular note is a slender marble column in the middle of the area he can see. Strange patterns of wispy green veins writhe and undulate within the stone of the column.

Here's a last shot at the list of equipment collected. I've assumed Prost will add the coins to the party loot in his haversack. Is no one taking the Elixir of Vision?

Re: [Active Thread] The Third Face of Evil
Worrel will wait until his companions are ready before advancing. He steps to the threshold of the small chamber and spends enough time to determine the strength and number of evil presences in the room.
Unless, of course, there is an immediate threat that requires cleansing.

Re: [Active Thread] The Third Face of Evil
Worrel waits until his companions form up behind him. Then he steps to the threshold of the chamber ahead and spends enough time to determine the strength and number of evil presences in the room. He continues to detect an aura of moderate strength evil to the north, but cannot pinpoint its location, suggesting it remains beyond a wall or door. From his new vantage point, Worrel can see that the room is more of a wide corridor than a small chamber. The strange, circular bulges on the walls and the slender marble columns with strange patterns repeat all along it.

The following have been recorded in my DM sheet and, where relevant, in the party loot list. I don't think there's enough room in anyone's inventory to keep the crossbows and armor for later sale...

Worrel speaks quietly over his shoulder to his companions to describe what he sees and senses. [whisper]There is evil to the north, probably beyond the door. But I don't like the looks of this corridor.Can someone examine it?[/whisper]
Worrel remains in place, ready to allow someone past him or shuffle back out of the way.

Re: [Active Thread] The Third Face of Evil
After downing his Elixir of Vision and loading his slingstaff, Prost quietly moves into the wide corridor and begins a careful search for traps. The rest of the party watches as he examines the pillar next to him. They see his eyes go wide and his mouth drop open. Prost quietly reports That's... but nothing more. He remains standing, staring at the pillar, mouth agape. He makes no further motion or effort to continue searching the area.

Re: [Active Thread] The Third Face of Evil
Worrel reaches out to grab Prost and pull him back into the corridor. Although he makes a valiant attempt to be quiet about it, there is a bit of a grinding sound that echoes through the chamber as Worrel drags the comatose halfling backwards.
Marcus casts Detect Magic and concentrates for a few rounds. He detects auras of strong transmutation on the pillars throughout the wide corridor and of strong abjuration on the strange circular bulges that are interspersed along the walls.
Before Marcus has a chance to announce his results, however, a spectral figure (A) emerges from the wall to the north (at 809). The ghostly form appears to be clad in wizard's robes, but there is only a black void where the creature's face should be. It is accompanied by the sound of an insane babble that fills the hall and the room to the south where the party stands.
Round 1 Begins
Shaking off the effects of the babbling (made Will save), Tex is quickest to act. “What the hell is that?” he asks, but does not wait for a response before shooting an arrow at it. Although the arrow makes contact, it passes through the creature without any obvious effect.
The spectral figure floats up next to Marcus, reaches out, and touches him. Marcus gets a small glimpse of the creature's terrifying insanity [3 points of Wisdom damage], and the creature seems to grow ever so slightly larger [gained some temporary HP].
