She sees things.

Then the cards erupt and attack us.

   3. I burn one of the swarms of cards with burst.

EmmaSchneider tells us about the visions - the man (Wanamaker?) is gambling with spirits, giving people to a haunted deck. I think Wanamaker has the deck.

We see some more Manitou, but they flee.

We continue searching.

We find an entrance to the mines in the kitchen, under some loose floorboards.

We see SilasWanamaker and the Sheriff's men. ShowBoat is there. SilasWanamaker traps her in his magic deck. There is a portal to hell. 5 spirits take on flesh and drop down in front of the portal.
