Vincent would run up the stairs with the others, keeping his mace up to shed light.

Cerys put her nose to the ground, trying to sniff out something- anything- that might help them either rescue Mouse and Nat or kill the evil that lurked there.
((perception, smell: 25))

The scent of sickly stew filled Cerys' nostrils, but it was not enough to completely overpower a familiar smell - one of the urchins had come this way. It smelled like... Mouse. Mouse was nearby, not in the room with the shade, but...
There! his scent led to the closed door of the indoor water closet, tucked beneath the stairs leading up into the top floor.

((Reaction))
Cerys moved forward, getting low and sniffing at the door- before letting out a soft 'boof', bumping the door gently with her massive head.

That signal was all she needed. Following up after Cerys, Crystal held out her sword.
"Kids, it's Crystal-- you remember, with Cerys, Jinn, and Vincent? Stand clear, I'm going to blow the door open!"
She said that, but thought twice about it ((Wis save 13)), and instead walked up to try and yank the door open-- if it was unlocked. She was pretty sure it was going to be locked because this was a spooky manor, but at least she could tell the others that she tried.

Crystal could make out no sound from the other side of the door. Rattling the handle, she found it lock.
Why would a water closet be locked in an empty house?
As Crystal faced the door and Cerys stood guard beside her, the spirit behind Jinn began to whimper. Standing in the open door beside Cerys was a tall, hunched figure, cloaked in darkness, save for were a jagged grin of yellow teeth appeared in the air. She brushed her hand against Cery's flank, fur withering and flesh rotting where her long fingers stroked. ((16 to attack, 8 Necrotic damage)).
Mama's got you, the shadow whispered, the shape seeming to melt back into the darkness of the second floor common room, vanishing once more. Mama's got you right where I want...

Rey swung the crossbow around as the shadow appeared. It was gone before she could fire, the dragonborn swearing. "Fuck this place, fuck these ghosts..."
She kept her eye out, trying to ready herself for the next time the creature popped up. "Just blast the damn thing open, Crys, we ain't got time to play nice right now."
((Bonus Action: Perception 6 to spot a hidden creature. Ready action to shoot the next hostile creature.))

He saw it. For only a second he saw the monstrous granny and her horrible form, and for a moment he felt that cold and sick fear try and worm it's way into his gut.
It then reached out and hurt the best dog he knew. That fear turned into familiar indignation and anger like a red hot poker between the eyes. He grasped his hammer and lowered his voice. "... That the one that hurt you, kid? That's a monster alright. An you know what we do to monsters?"
He growled and marched into the room. "We growl and we roar- call em out an show em we ain't afraid." He squinted. "...Just gotta find em first.."
(Taking an action to make a Perception check. 18)
He squinted harder.

Vincent brought the light on his mace up as he entered the area, and moved to the side of the door Crystal was at, hoping to ward off whatever this haunting hag was.

Cerys turned to face the threat, growling.

As predicted, the door wouldn't open. Well, nothing for it-- she'd already given the warning, and this time she actually used the spell. Sword pointed at the door's handle with the hope to blow the lock off, Crystal slung an Eldritch Blast while the others dealt with the Amazing Disappearing Annoyance.
((Eldritch Blast: 8 to hit, 7 Force))

The handle of the watercloset exploded inward, showering splinters of wood across the simple box with a hole in its top that was the latrine. The door was thoroughly unlocked, but upon opening, Crystal did not see anyone crouched in the open...
Inside of the common room, the air grew hotter, the shadows between Jinn and Cerys rippling as the elongate shape of the dark entity emerged, one hand raised above Jinn.
NOW GET IN MY POT! it screeched, its voice reverberating out of the rotting wallpaper covering the walls all around them.
((Jinn, CHA saving throw. Cerys, your held attack is triggered))

Reaction:
Cerys reached out, attempting to sink her large fangs into the shadow creature.
((Attack: 12, dmg: 8))

Jinn turned about face, feeling the entity's presence only a split second before the scream. His guts tightened, but his face remained an defiant scowl. He would not let this... Thing... Enjoy itself.
(Charisma save: 14 on die for a dirty, perhaps even filthy 20.)

Jinn could feel fire licking at his skin for a moment, before a more comforting warmth enveloped him, pushing away the oppressive heat of the room - leaving him unmoved, and untouched.
The entity shrank back and hissed, then seemed to blur to the side as Cerys lunged and bit, her jaws clamping down on empty air ((12 is a miss!)). It retreated back into the shadows of the room, drifting away from Jinn as it blurred into the darkness...
((Jinn can make an Opportunity Attack))
