@Psybermagi I'll answer some in public, rest in private
PCs have been rolling quite high on those charisma checks and when it wasn't good enough players chose to roleplay it the way they chose. I think there is more than enough reasons for Nyx to understand and (finally) share what happened to him. I would even recommend you demonstrate your gained power right away.
Still... Gods are very different and have very different effects of PCs though. You can't be sure if your PC were just lucky to get the good guy possession or...

Just to clarify my understanding before doing somethign
Nyx could theoretically wildshape and remain invisible as this is not a spell, correct?
What about the moon druid ability to self heal while in wild shape? It expends spell slots to heal but is not, as I understand it, technically a spell so should not affect the invisibility, correct?
Similar question about my wild magic barbarian rage "Surge" feature. Not a spell so does it affect the invisibility, other than when causing damage or forcing a ST?

still reviewing the fresco room but I think we may have messed up the ritual and that is why Tanta was changed to a frog
failed ritual "When Tante Lude extinguish the candle, the second fresco stops glowing, but start glowing again when Tante Lude lights it up again. The first fresco keeps glowing all the time. But when she reaches into the copper bowl to retrieve rat bones all frescoes go dark, the bowl falls on the floor as Tante Lude is suddenly turned into a frog and spirits rise from the humanoid bones strewn across the floor beneath the masks."
Player notes updates with what I have so far.
@GreyWord Can we get a quick run through what Tinkara did? Then what Tante did? for comparison. I am not seeing what was missed, other than perhaps interrupting the entire process
I do not think we really finished checking out the hidden room either. Save that for after the ghosts in the fresco room

@Psybermagi turning invisible is a feature not a spell and it works in wildshspe. I agree with all your statemetms
I would prefer players to recall what they did instead of me. Hint : Tante Lude did more
Yes there are lot of other rooms, in this level to still explore. That's why I asked you to vote and you voted to keep moving through dungeon if you fail so solve a puzzle in faw days.... feel free to ignore your own voting, but I recomend to let it go

I've updated level map in this thread
To help you there are the things I believe your PCs may guess they could still do in the level:
1. Go through west doors
2. Crawl to the monster standing at the Iron lever to check what the lever does and if the room where monster is has any other doors/exits (i.e north)
3. Reach the strange stairs up at the end of this long room - they are probably leading somewhere
4. Press the lever here and see what it does
5. Try to open the thing that is blocking you from crawling through this (will require two hands and decent strength to lift the sheet)
Hint: there are more places in this dungeon you failed to discover for variety of reasons. I can spoil you some of those reasons if you want spoilers.

OOC:
what is at the end of the corridor? Widows, doors, other? It looks like crystal windows seen elsewhere in the dungeon Please see my previous post complete list of things to interact with

If we are trying to get the ghosts back I will follow the lead of those that did it last time since I have no real idea what they did to trigger it. Best guess is starting the ritual without completion and restarting it?
begin ritual Tinkara place items on the shrine.
"It is barelly noticeable but you could see a blinking dim light around fresco nr 4 since Tinkara lighted the candle. When she puts the money on the altar fresco nr 1 also start blinking dim light. The other two frescoes are dark though "
failed ritual "When Tante Lude extinguish the candle, the second fresco stops glowing, but start glowing again when Tante Lude lights it up again. The first fresco keeps glowing all the time. But when she reaches into the copper bowl to retrieve rat bones all frescoes go dark, the bowl falls on the floor as Tante Lude is suddenly turned into a frog and spirits rise from the humanoid bones strewn across the floor beneath the masks."
