I'm thinking that Harrigan take out the Emissary, then Withers perform the investigate action on the Pallid Mask card?

Re: The Path to Carcosa
Turn 7 Mythos Phase
Mark is shocked to stumble over the gruesome remains of one of the actors. It is only his memory of Sophie that enables him to keep his cool.
Turn 7 Investigator Phase
Mark hears the inhuman music coming from the theater and is horrified by what he sees when he peeks through the curtain. Fortunately, he came prepared. Taking out his stick of dynamite, he lights the fuse, throws it at the enormous creature, and takes cover. There is a deafening blast, and then he emerges and rushes through the remains of the curtain. To his utter shock, the beast is not yet dead, but he finishes it off with a swift kick.

3/6
Turn 7 Investigator Phase
1 and 2[Frozen in Fear] Move to the Box Office
3 5 +1[Dr. Milan] vs. 2 +2, chaos token -1 ; success!
see below
Act
As you face off with the Stranger, you get the sense that he is grinning beneath his pale, faceless mask. "Where is everyone?" you ask, but he does not respond. "What is going on?" He remains silent and steps back as you approach, until his back is against the corner of the room. You spin in shock as the windows shatter, and a deluge of cold salt water floods the room. You turn back to the Stranger, but he is gone.
Instead of discarding The Man in the Pallid Mask, move him to the Lobby.
Add 2 [squid] tokens to the chaos bag.
Place 1 horror on each Private location. Until the end of the scenario, horror on locations represents flooding water, and each location with horror gains: "Forced - When you would leave this location: Test [Agility](2). If you fail, take 1 damage and cancel the effects of the move. (Limit once per round.)"
Keep this card next to the act deck as a reminder, and advance to act 3a.
4 +1[Persuasion skill] vs. 3, chaos token skull -1 ; success!
A flash of orange light and then kaboom!
Withers shoots a glance back to the Theatre
"Harrigan!" he exclaims. And then, nodding "So this is how it must be. Steel yourself, Withers" and creeps forward towards the Box Office

Wither's agility is only 1 so he may have trouble getting out of the Box Office... Harrigan first and fight the Stranger?

Withers easily escapes from the Box Office but to his dismay discovers the Lobby flooded as well. The Man in the Pallid Mask stands in the Lobby's centre, his legs awash with seawater, raising his clenched fists to the heavens
"Indeed it's time" he cries

Yes. If Harrigan gets to the Lobby, next turn Withers’ll add an intellect skill to the test and hopefully Harrigan can donate one too.
Re: The Path to Carcosa

Mark follows the man back into the lobby, which he finds is awash with chilly water, so he must tread carefully. If there's a way out of here, this man will know it.
