Give Cogi the Lowly Fireslinger, Hala the shield, Settumas the lantern, and give Halpalo, Hala, and Setta the kits 

Give Cogi the kit instead of Halpalo, since she can heal already. But  +1

[Kassire]

My reasoning was there might be party separation, and the tanks and hitty people might get separated by themselves.

(Sorry for infrequent appearances, I have a lot of stuff going on. I'll write an update soon, stay tuned.)

Not a problem, I personally don't mind slow updates. So get your other stuff dealt with if that takes priority.

[0player]

You hand Cogi'Ditio the short metallic pistol adorned by runes in gold and sliver.
"Hehe, yeah," he says as he studies the mechanism in detail, "that's the stuff! Almost like Resistance, but local magic, I suppose. I wonder, how does it handle?"
Hit: 1d20 + 10 Warning Shot → 23! Great job!
The psion shoots a wall 180 no-scope, doing 3 fire damage. What a sport, you think.

You hand over the dim buckler to Hala. Yours is way better, at least in how it handles. Hala stares at it.
"You think I could take it?" she asks. "Doesn't seem like the owner will return, I mean. But that is a pretty big shield! I'll try."
You resolve to never tell her about tower shields. This is amusing.

You hand the lantern over to Settumas. "Hmmm," he goes, "no fuel? Does this really work on primary magic alone? I wonder if I could enhance it a bit..."
You back off, just in case.

Hala and Settumas get the kits. You contemplate giving one to Cogi (1d2 → 1), but decide that at least part of equipment you should leave for yourself.

Short rest regenerates one point of each scale for all of you.
Seems like we're all set up and ready to explore. Anything else?

Explore!
Keep an eye out for traps, since the people who built it seem to like fancy mechanisms.

Yeah, I can go with this. +1

(Hi guys, I'm abroad right now and will be, in all likelihood, until Wednesday. Expect one more update until then, I'll really try to make it two, but I promise nothing.)
You carefully move out to the corridor going alongisde the Wall.

Halpalo the Exalted: HP: 8/8 SP: 6/6 F: 0 A: 1 W: 0 S: 1 Arm: 0 Prt: 0 C. Sword of Res. Enchant Weapon [6]
Setta the Chaos-Touched: HP: 4/4 SP: 9/10 F: 0 A: 1 W: 1 S: 0 Arm: 0 Prt: 0 Hands
Cogi the Cognizant: HP: 4/5 SP: 7/10 F: 0 A: 0 W: 1 S: 0 Arm: 0 Prt: 1 L. Fireslinger
Hala the Reckless: HP: 6/6 SP: 2/6 F: 0 A: 0 W: 0 S: 3 Arm: 0 Prt: 0 L. Shield of Warding

You personally leadthe charge, as the leader and the girl with the shield. You guess Hala has shield now, too, but it's not as if you were jealous.
Setta follows shortly after, carrying the lantern.
Cog'Ditio and Hala whisper in the back, snickering.

The corridor takes a turn. There appears to be a large nook to the left with four big ceramic vases. In the second vase from the left you can hear rustling sounds.
It is relatively dark -- the lantern is not very bright.
What will you do?

[Kassire]

Have the entire party investigate the noises, with Halpalo and Hala in the front, then in the back we would have Cogi and Setta supporting the front line

[GiglameshDespair]

Don't split the party

[0player]

Stepping forward with Hala and covering boys with your shields, you swiftly knock the vase's lid off with the tip of your sword.
Rustling stops. You see a skeletal hand protruding out of the vase.
Before you know it, an apparition throws itself out into the air. It lacks the head and the bottom half, but you sense its piercing sight on you. It is wrapped in rags bearing a strange sigil on them. The sigil looks roughly like a six-pointed star.
The apparition hisses at you.
What will you do?

[GiglameshDespair]

Shank it up with Halpalo
Cogi can flank and use his fireslinger thing
Chaos guy can avoid using his skills so we don't all die
Hala can attack as well.

+1, seems like a good course of action. Might as well also have Cogi use his knowledge stuff to find out what the hell the apparition is.

Okay, I'm finally back (a bit later than anticipated, I apologize), expect the more usual pace for now.

You don't get the Preparation bonus to rolls.
Speed rolls: 13 Cogi; 6 Settumas; 19 Hala; 15 Halpalo; 12 wraith.

Hala bashes the wraith with Lowly Shield of Warding.
1d20 → 17 + 4 Position = 21! Critical success!
At first it looks like a miss; but the magical protection of the shield collides with an incorporeal essence.
1d8 → 8 - 1 Incorporeal = 7 physical damage. The blunt thrust significantly wounds the apparition. It looks dazed!
The runes on the shield sap the animating magic of the apparition, dealing 1 magical damage.

You thrust forward with the Common Sword of Resistance.
1d20→17 + 4 Position = 21! Critical success!
You slash across the apparition, the momentum of your sword sending its skeletal remains flying to the ground. It looks dazed!
1d6 → 2 - 1 Incorporeal = 1 physical damage. It doesn't look very harmed by your attack, though.
The runes on the sword absorb the animation magic of the apparition! It takes 1 magical damage.

Cogi takes aim with the Lowly Flameslinger.
1d20 → 16 + 4 Dazed = 20! Critical success!
"Like a fish in a barrel", he utters.
1d6 → 4 - 1 Incorporeal = 5 fire damage. Old ragged cloth wrapping the wraith catches fire!
Cogi cannot use Identify this turn because he had already taken an action.

The wraith lashes out!
1d20 → 11. Success!
Unable to reach the back row, it hits you with its claws! Your life force is draining!
5+1d2→1 = 6 fel damage. OW.

Settumas looks extremely concerned yet unable to act on the situation. Failure.

You are severely wounded. You have the feeling you might not survive a second assault of this kind.

[Aleida]

Let Halpalo get out of wraith's range and attack the thing again.
