- Short human (Oarsmen), rapier and buckler - Isidora
- Older human, no weapons (possibly Gellian) - not with the other two - Luthaise
 
Ruins have gotten more dangerous recently
Minddar, probably controlling them, due to the scale and amount of thralls. Thralls also indicate physical fear.
Go any deeper and there's not any more thralls, only seemingly on the first few layers.
Deep enough, there's something lurking around there
Something gargantuan, "hundred mouths and hands"
 
Isidora's brother is still down there, offers to show the way down to the "thing", in return for helping her with her brother.
Brother was a mage, studied in Blumoor
Pushed himself a bit too hard, lost himself in his pursuit for magic. Isidora wants to put him out of his misery.

Helps against dead things, not necessarily spirits but skeletons
 
Isidora locked in her brother, as the door is somewhat the entrance to the "real" Red Ruins
 
Used a plant to reinvigorate a dead soldier.

Warm light beyond the locked door.
 
"You have made it far, they are impressed."
 
Enchanted lumberjack's axe would be good against big tree skeleton
 
Minddar
Tend to gravitate towards spellhood
Rare, whatever flaws they have are closely guarded secrets

Luthaise lowk rocking guns
High perception, clocked my speech
Wakes up earlier than the others
 
Lifeless after reaching ravine.
Isidora guesses it's due to the Fey or monster hunting anything alive.
