A Number of Dead People are Once Again Dead
Isolde &co. convinced Gustav Durst to let them help him, at which point he raised a ghostly arm toward his wife and said,  "Kill Elisabeth." They were with him about this until Schmebulock sent a Message to Elisabeth asking what's going on, to which she replied with a rasping,  "He Will Not Live Forever. He Sacrificed His Life When He Shared His Bed With Her. I Will Have It." They decided then that Gustav was a cheat and a liar, so they elected to kill him—but in the battle, both ghosts died, and they lost the chance to learn more about whatever the fuck was going on there.

They came then upon a wide, columned auditorium, with a wide stage and walls carved all over with stylized writings which none of them recognized. Isolde, however, did recognize the way they were carved; it was a style reminiscent of those cults who worship demons, but she couldn't tell from the evidence exactly which demon.

The troupe headed downstairs into a room full of various human bones, then found a series of cutaways in the wall housing manacles chained to the walls; in one of these, they found a long-dead skeleton, and in another, they found a very alive Leeroy Jenkins, a half-orc barbarian who was kidnapped in the woods by a group of half-tangible cultists. A ghoul attacked them, and half of them were concerned about killing the ghoul while the other half were concerned chiefly about freeing Leeroy. Eventually that was sorted out, and the group of them took a moment to gather their breath.

They'd seen a hallway filled with water, and if the looming, echoing chanting coming from virtually the next room over was any indication, it was going to be a very interesting hallway indeed.
