Elamina and Katanya

The Halls of the Spectres were used to bury Dwarfs of a slightly higher social standing than mere commoners. For that reason, the sarcophagi here are adorned with very intricate carvings and likenesses of their occupants. Koros has left these halls intact and undisturbed because of the Spectres haunting them. He derives a twisted pleasure in their eternal torment.

These halls are the final resting place of two Dwarf Spectres named Katanya and Elamina. They both fell in love with the same Dwarf warrior, named Durkin, and fought over him incessantly for many years. Determined not to lose their love to the other, they conspired to kill each other. Katanya managed to poison Elamina's ale, but before she could enjoy her triumph, an assassin hired by Elamina killed her.

They compete in death as they did in life, tormenting any living creature making their way down to these halls. They will both try to convince travelers they need to be released from their torment by blaming each other for their demise. They offer jewels and riches from their sarcophagi as a reward. Using their ability to remain invisible, they speak to the travelers seemingly from out of nowhere. Their voices are low and moaning as if in great pain.

If someone decide to help one of the spirits, the other immediately becomes visible, using her terrifying display in an attempt to scare them away. The carving of Grungni in the centre of the hallway prevents the Spectres from leaving their burial chambers or the hallways leading to them. Elamina has mottled skin in a disgusting shade of green from the poison she drank. Katanya has a knife imbedded in her eye courtesy of the assassin that slew her. If one of the Spectres is slain by the characters, the other cackles uncontrollably with glee. If the characters come looking for their reward, the Spectre terrifies them again and then paralyses stragglers to kill them piecemeal.
