Tristan, who finally had begun to relax, nearly jumps out of his skin at Tahl's sudden declaration!
Wildly, he looks about for any sign of the ghost-boy.

"May be it only appears to those who weren't made afraid by it's scream earlier ." Tahls says in reaction to Tristan .

Turning his attention away from Julian and towards Tahl.

"Is that blood on your hand? Did the ghost injure you?" he asks as he spots Tahl's bloodied hand.

''His father? But who could that be?''

Tristan looks around nervously, raising his everburning torch a little higher and scanning the gloom for the fearful apparition.

Its father? Is this spirit connected with the Pancrazios, I wonder....

"No it's not mine, it came from the ghost as some sort of sign I guess ." responding to Sebastian's question . Taking a rag out to clean his hand off .

"Mayhap we should be reviewing the Pancrazio family tree?" Harold asks in an acerbic tone as he swiftly wraps the black pot in rags and stuffs it in his pack. "Or the list of deaths and disappearances on these grounds? Hm? Somewhere other than here? If the smoke from that burning room fills these tunnels, we shall be in trouble."

"Perhaps the elder gentleman has a point, we may be better able to protect ourselves if we can determine the ghost's origin."

''Sebastian, is the house actually on fire, or were those 'toxic fumes' that made you hallucinate something other than smoke? I ask, because if the house is burning down- hadn't we better get back upstairs and help extinguish the flames?''

" I don't believe so, if there was a fire I doubt the fumes would have disappeared the way they did. Though to tell the truth, now that you ask, I am not entirely certain. The fumes didn't smell like smoke from a fire, at least not a fire burning any fuel I know of. The best I could describe the smell would be as burning copper, if that means anything."

''Burning copper? Hmm...was there a blue flash or flame? ''

"I did not see any flashes or flames, only boiling blood on the floor. That I attribute as some kind of hallucination, brought about by the fumes or perhaps something not so mundane."

''Hmmm... maybe the ghost made you see it? It appeared to us earlier and screamed. Then it just now appeared to Tahl and left his hand dripping with blood. I see a possible connection. ''

"Perhaps, clearly whatever this ghost is about, it is not beneficent. Though, I think it is a big assumption to assume that whatever force that assailed me up in the larder is one and the same with your child-ghost. There could be more at work here than what we have witnessed so far."

''True. As I said, it's just a possible connection. Harold's right- we don't know enough to say for sure about any of these strange things. Maybe we'll find some answers in the strange chest or the black jar we have found.''
Tristan looks towards the mouths of the unexplored passages.

''...or maybe further in this cellar, more clues are waiting for us? ''
