Nevets & Lennie arrive in Dusty Ridge without issue and show Old Man Wiggins & the elderly Village Sheriff the paperwork showing they are authorised to collect the missing Black Paw Mine goods. The paperwork isn't legal authority to search the warehouse, but Nevets convinces them it is in their best interests that they take the stolen goods back to the proper owner and avoid drama escalating for all sides.

Nevets & Lennie leave Dusty Ridge with Lily's Wagon. 
Meanwhile, back in Kronwikk, Lady Sandra visits VOA HQ and talks with Daff & Toki about the situation at the estate. Daff explains there were many ghosts in the estate, not just the one, so the task has been harder than they expected. Daff asks Lady Sandra to come with them to the estate to hopefully draw out the ghost of Lord Silverhorn to bring the haunting to an end. Lady Sandra thanks DOA for their digression, unaware of how the news has spread during Kel Drake's failed execution.

Before sundown, VOA, Lady Sandra, & the Butler gather outside the Silverhorn Estate. Also with them is the prisoner Kel Drake Silverhorn.
There are a bunch of civilians waiting outside the estate, waiting for the lights in the tower to appear every night. The people can't agree on the source of the lights. VOA decides to set up an escape route from the tower with a rope before sunset.
VOA and the NPCs then wait for the ghosts in the tower in the observatory. The ghost of Lord Silverhorn appears in the room. Lord Silverhorn and Lady Sandra clasp hands and talk. Lady Sandra explains to Lord Silverhorn is dead and should pass on. Lord Silverhorn says he is missing something and has unfinished business. 
However 4 ghosts appear in the room and attack. VOA defend themselves. Kel Drake gets knocked unconscious by a ghost then strangled to death. Daff is drained to 1 strength. Nevets gets drained then takes out a ghost. Daff casts shatter on 2 of the ghosts, taking out 1 ghost and badly damaging another. The ghost about to kill Daff is taken out by Lennie and Toki (with Toki using Shillelagh).
The last ghost (other than Lord Silverhorn) is still strangling the remains of Kel Drake. Nevets attacks the ghost, and the ghost stops strangling the dead Knight. Daff does some Vicious Mockery on the ghost. Lennie & Toki charge in and attack the last ghost, finishing it off.
Lady Sandra and the ghost of Lord Silverhorn continue to talk. Lord Silverhorn is talking at two levels at the same time, one he is talking as himself, the other is talking of vengeance. 
A new undead ghost, a poltergeist, emerges from the ground cand casts a Telekinetic Thrust at Lennie, but Lennie resists and counterattacks. Toki throws a Magic Stone at the ghost. Nevets finishes off the poltergeist.
Lady Sandra and the ghost of Lord Silverhorn continue to talk as 2 shades phase into the room. The first shade attacks Lennie, and he defends himself. Tokie and Nevets focus attack on that shade, killing it. Daff tries to convince Lady Sandra to get Lord Silverhorn to stop the other ghosts.
Toki turns into a bear and attacks the other shade. Nevets & Lennie both closes in to melee as well. Dissconant Whispers from Daff has no effect. The rest of the party finish off the shade.
Lady Sandra and the ghost of Lord Silverhorn continue to talk in an embrace. Lady Sandra is telling Lord Silverhorn that she forgives him. Lord Silverhorn is talking of regrets and things he should have done that were important to him, such as marrying Lady Sandra. Lord Silverhorn then passes on to the other side, and fades away. Lady Sandra starts to mourn.
