You discover a corpse of a human Tinkara recognize as Zean - cleric who entered dungeon with her and left the party several days ago for his own reasons. You never seen him since then.
Tinkara also recognizes the magic staff in his hands (staff of python) - the one you got from tomb behind propeller. One where Tinka lost her metallic equipment. You also discover a mace in his backpack and recall Vatoris had it in his backpack a while ago.
Few more of you remember the short period you were together here in this dungeon

Nyx admires the staff and would like it but acknowledges that with Shillelagh he does not need it to be effective in combat against these ghosts.
OOC:
I would like it but want the party strong so if another can use it, even for just this fight, then they should take it

"I'm not built for close combat, so I'll stick with the dagger Criella was kind enough to lend me. Please take the staff Nyx."

OOC:
OK I read Tatne Lude taks mage and Nyx takes Stuff, @Psybermagi and @badbaron please roll Charisma saving throws each Red smoke seethes from the head of the mace, forming the outline of a monkey with a long tail. With a roar, the smoky apparition leaps at you, screaming, "Let me in!"
When Nyx touches stuff:
Green smoke billows from the staff, coiling around you like a serpent. A sibilant voice whispers in your ear: "Let me help you! I promise to be good."

Regardless of result you spend next hour attuning to your acquired itemsGreyWord sent a note to badbaron

Since passed save will do nothing and even failed will have no obvious immediate effects, I will be waiting for players to decideWhat do you want to do next?

Nyx silently curses his forgetting of this places advised nature as he heals the curse try and slice him 😠but grits his teeth and pushes through

"The mace is magical, and can send out a wave of terror if we run into things that can know fear. If this monkey doesn't eat me first,"
Lude grits out, her eyes slitted and her mouth a tight line as she fights the compulsion.

(I'm assuming everyone, not just Tante Lude, can see the monkey)
She will then take the short rest and attune to it.

DC was 15, so I'm only writing to @Psybermagi in private what happens to Nyx. It is up to player how to role-play that. Tante Lude is unaffectedGreyWord sent a note to Psybermagi

Hmm interesting and unfortunate. The item holds a spirit that now has some influence on me. I assume something similar has occurred to the others when taking up these cursed items. Though as it did not occur when I took up the amulet it seems to not be a guaranteed effect. and he looks at Tinkara in consideration as he recalls her transformation.

"Not a surprise. Seems most magical items here hold possible curses. I know the horn also tried to take me when I possessed it."

My curse seems less severe than Tinkara's. I almost wish it had afflicted us all as the constant change of companions has begun to wear on me. You see, i not have extreme difficulty in lying. Not the most onerous of afflictions but possibly problematic in negotiations. So I will leave parlaying with others to the rest of you.
The benefit, however, far out ways the cost in my mind. I gained the ability to vanish with only a bit of concentration. and Nyx vanishes from view
I am able to do this in just a moment and remain invisible till I attack or cast a spell.
Nyx then uses his telepathy to speak to the others Combined with my ability to speak directly to others without words and I feel this grants many possibilities.

"I am not sure but that we need to be possessed, each by a spirit of one of the gods of this place. I will not willingly give hierarchical space to one who is not in alignment with my goddess but it may be what is holding us back."

Temple raider Criella put her thoughts up, "I think it is a good time explore more." She losses her spell as time runs out on it.

As for intentionally becoming cursed, though the influence current exerted on me appears to be of a noble nature I would caution against allowing unknown entities to gain control of any of us.

I've lost track. did we complete both rooms off of the NW corridor? (past 2 armored guards). Time to go back and update my notes I guess.If so then let go to the SW through the crawl space to to rooms to the south

As you are both the best scout and the voice of experience here, I will follow your lead, Nyx. Provided of course, you tell me where you are going.
