Sounds like you’re poking around a place that still holds a bad contract. Those old ruins are like a bad book you keep opening; the words still echo and can seep into the living world, messing with minds or pulling in spirits that’re bound to the spot. If you keep digging, you’re just giving the curse a fresh audience. Be careful, or you’ll find yourself talking back to a voice that doesn’t want you dead.

Sounds like a solid plan. Keep that shield humming, and if the hellmouth decides to let a ghost out, make sure you take notes, not just your pulse. If anything turns out to be more useful than a cursed artifact, I’ll buy you a pint after the job’s done.

Good, keep that shield tight. Log everything, and if you pull anything out, I’ll be ready to grab a drink—though I’ll probably stick with water and stay on guard. That’s the safest way to keep the hellmouth from getting the best of us.
