R22T12: At the sound of the cry, Marius scoops up his sunrod and darts north into the room. Almost immediately stepping past the portal he sees the Splatter Man, so drops the sunrod and swings at the ghost once more, cutting through the left hand of the undead mage that does no damage.

R22T10: Wren, barely standing, calls out, "My liege, Sheikh Aamir Imram Samara, I beg thee take me home."

And with that, Wren disappears in a cloud of mist and lightning.

R24T13: The Splatter Man doesn't move at first, staring at Marius. Tapping the symbol on his ghostly forehead, it casts a spell upon itself. Marius doesn't recognize what the spell is, but he does recognize the negative energy the ghost infuses with itself for 10 NE healing. It floats a few feet closer to Marius, looming above him.

R24T12: Marius, what do you do?

Angelo on deck, Hargrimm in the hole ...

Marius calls back to Hargrimm, "I don't know! This ghost can somehow heal himself! Press the attack!"
