Getting to the Feldcroft Catacomb was simple and easy enough by Floo Powder Network. And there was a Floo Powder station near the Tomb. 

"Sebastian's not in his right mind." Ominis commented. 

"I should've stopped him when I had the chance." Sean said. 

"What was he thinking?" Sarah asked. "And how did Inferi get inside the Tomb?" 

"We can get through those easy enough. We'll just burn everything in our path." Sean assured. "Including the Inferi." 

"You're not worried at all about the Inferi?" Ominis asked.

"No. I just see them as annoying." Sean answered. "And they can burned very easily." 

The party had entered the Tomb, which was lit by candles. "Last time we were here, this place was crawling with Spiders." Sean commented.

"We're about to face worse." Ominis said. "Let's find Sebastian quickly." 

He wasn't in the first room which was empty. And it was also very quiet. Usually when entering a Tomb or another cave, there were at least guarded by a group of Spiders. "You didn't see any Spiders down here, did you, Ominis?" Sarah asked.

"I can't see anything." Ominis reminded.

"Right." Sarah remembered. "Sorry." 

"I don't even hear them crawling on the walls." Ominis added.

"Well... we did clean them off good the last time Sebastian and I were here." Sean admitted.

"Where wassssss Ssssssebassssstian when you and Anne found him, Ominisssssss?" An-ru asked. 

"Just ahead. In the Great Room." Ominis answered.

An-ru looked confused. 

"The room that looks like a giant circle." Sean clarified.

But as they walked into a chamber. A group of Inferi were suddenly rising out from what looked like Sarcophagus. All screeching and trying to get at Sean and his friends. 

"Incendio!" Sean shot blasting a massive surge of Fire all around him and burning the Inferi like he was a Human Flame Thrower. "Everyone stay behind me. There might be more ahead." He advised.

"Thisssss doessssss not look like the Great Room." An-ru commented. 

"Because it isn't." Sean replied. "This is just one of the Chambers. If the Inferi are here now, then there might be more ahead. Stay alert." 

They traversed through another Room, where Spiders had laid dead on the ground. But it wasn't from Arania Exumai. That was for certain. Especially as Sean examined the bodies for dead marks. "Dead at the source. These look like Cuts from Humans." 

"It must be the Inferi." Ominis figured. "I never thought I would ever feel bad for Spiders but... here we are." 

"Let's keep looking for Sebastian. I hope the Inferi haven't killed him." Sarah suggested. 

"No. Sebastian can handle Inferi. It's what he's doing with the Inferi that's making me sweat." Ominis admitted as they crossed into another room that was empty. Except for the sounds of crawling up and what sounded like Zombies moving on the floor in the next room. 

Sean ran down to the next room, which was the Great Room. With the stairs and a table in the center. And surrounded by a whole swarm of Inferi. "That might be a problem." Sean admitted. 

"There weren't this many Inferi before." Ominis commented. 

"And there's no sign of Sebastian either." Sarah added.
