So this is more my bad for never delivering a final plan, but Wei Wuxian has been wanting to open Arha's tomb and settle what's there, I just feel like a heel when it's me going "hey ruxi can I borrow your character to do this" though it's who he'd ask. (And would have already done, but again, I don't like running off with that.)
That would have been shortly after the tomb opened, so that opportunity's shot. Since then, Wei Wuxian would still propose: deal with Arha's tomb, see if we can get Hatisse settled, and in the meantime, hold both the soldiers + the murdered merchant group from acting, let alone attacking each other. Plan to then change spontaneously from there depending on how the emotional roil between Arha and/or Hatisse or just straight Arha-at-the-Tomb would go.
His advice at the same time would be anyone and all who are not equipped to handle ghosts/the undead in specific band together and move beyond where we are, while those who handle the ghosts/undead create a distraction allowing the PCs and living NPCs to skedaddle. He's not interested in talking with Anurr, but I bring that up in case any of the PCs want to talk with Anurr for "help." He'd caution to ask what that entails, given by now they've been repeatedly told by the merchant they were summoned to be killed and have their souls distilled for undead lord purposes, as you do.
(Though fascinating work on Xue Yang, Anurr.)
Depending on how things shake out, after Arha is handled one way or another, he'd want to work on settling the spirits that remain: at least some ghosts he thinks will be able to let go and move on once Arha (or Hatisse) are likewise no longer clinging on. Because he's also a failure half of a soulmate pairing, he would want them to have whatever reconciliation/confrontation is owed, but fully heard, both sides, which sounds... mimics storm clouds rolling in motion.
