The peacock huff and ruffles it's metal feathers.

"Its only the most anticipated wedding in a century! A lucky young couple are getting married by nine other than Chancellor Sophronia Wort herself if you can believe that!

...Actually, it seems that someone's coming now."

As Warryn watches, two strange golden apparitions glide into the room from the east. They swirl like fragments of gold leaf being blown in an autumn wind, with strange, humanoid faces glaring out. They spot you and screech in anger.

I'll take an initiative roll please

Initiative: 1D20+2 = [18]+2 = 20

With a screech that sounds like tearing metal, the Aurun specters dive at Warryn, reaching out to him with razor-claws of pure gold.

Each one grabs at him and he feels them try to force their way into his mind...

((Make 2x DC13 CHA saves please))

Warryn does not like having his mind prodded and manages to resist the spectral touch. The creatures screech their terrible, grating scream, but there's nothing they can do.

Warryn's turn

"Wait before you open that door let me use Augury to determine what the outcome would do"

Honestly I should have done that with releasing the lady. Why do I always remember these things AFTER they happened?

Art tries the door and is immediately vaporised and finds it unlocked, opening into a rather large hallway, criss-crossed by shadows. Walking deliberately back and forth through the bands of shadow stalks a woman with midnight blue skin and a pair of reptilian wings sprouted from her shoulder blades. She appears to be lost in thought and is talking to herself.

"...it would be a shame, wouldn't it? To burn it all and leave nothing behind."

Fighting off the ghostly claws, Warryn turns back towards the door and....vanishes, in a puff of silvery mist. Reappearing over by the door to the pillar room, he darts through, scooping up Erik as he goes. And, as soon as he's out of view, he mutters some more arcane words and casts Invisibility - both him and Erik fading out of vision.

- Misty Step [bonus action] [30ft range]
- Invisibility [action] [1hr duration, concentration]

((The wording of Invisibility states that everything I'm carrying also becomes invisible. If that doesn't include Erik, let me know and I can have him hide behind a pillar or something. Also, Nondetection makes me immune to See Invisibility or True Seeing. Just in case these ghostly fucks have access to something like that ))

Warryn nopes out, teleporting to the pillar room and becoming entirely invisible and undetectable. ((Erik is also invisible for as long as he's on your person.))

The spectres are confused as the disappearance of their prey and howl angrily in frustration. They can't seem to find him.

Dain takes a peek through the door. Can he readily identify the species of the dark blue woman?

As the spectres search the pillars, Warryn creeps back through the doorway into the peacock's room. Silently glaring daggers at Wybrow for his inaction, he approaches the door to the west and attempts to open it without attracting any attention.

I'll take a stealth check with advantage please. You're invisible, but moving around could still be noisy...

When you say deliberately walking between the shadows, is she making it a point to stay only in the shadowy or light areas?

Its tricky to see through the shadows, but you would guess she has draconic ancestry of some form. True dragons don't tend to keep their reptilian features when they take humanoid form, so you'd guess she is some kind of half breed or mongrel.
