Gravan shakes his head back and forth in confusion. "What sort of thing are you?!" He tumbles away from the creature, shifts back to human form, and casts a cure light wounds spell, holding the charge until next round.
The plant creature tumbles agilely away from the babbling spectral creature and turns back into Gravan's human form. He casts a spell, his hand glowing with rejuvenating life power.
Seeing the spectral nature of their foe, Weylan manifests a Force Screen around himself then moves to flank the creature.
Syfer is momentarily taken aback by the nature of their foe.
The dark form flails its arms wildly at Weylan, but the skilled skirmisher is able to dodge the burbling creature's frantic strikes with ease.
Rooth
Spoiler:
In the nightmare Rooth looks down at her arm and with a shock, sees the mark in the patterns of her veins on her scrawny orange-skinned arm, she realizes the corruption is within her now.
"Hold still you crummy..." Inamar mutters, gripping her right elbow with her left hand to steady her aim, and sighting down her arm with one eye closed. Arcs of energy curl and ripple lazily along the strange glowing blue runes that dance over her skin, culminating in another blast of power that crackles towards the shady apparition!
Rooth awakens with a short scream 'corrupt!!!' she glances around and realizes the creature is upon them. She rapidly get on her feet and unfold her flail.
She looks at th others and undersand they to are surprised with this "thing" 'What is that!?' she screams.

"Hold still you crummy..." Inamar mutters, gripping her right elbow with her left hand to steady her aim, and sighting down her arm with one eye closed. Arcs of energy curl and ripple lazily along the strange glowing blue runes that dance over her skin, culminating in another blast of power that crackles towards the shady apparition! The blost strikes its spectral garment, tearing the fabric but not striking the actual spectral figure's underlying form. The creature wails and gibbers, it seems like it was somehow affected by the blast but not harmed.

Gravan shifts back into his predator form and rushes towards the creature, hoping to lay a hand on its spectral form and send a pulse of positive energy through it.
Gravan shifts back into his predator form and rushes towards the creature, hoping to lay a hand on its spectral form and send a pulse of positive energy through it, but the small flying creature between him and Weylan is flashing around to quickly and evades his woody blow. The charge of his life magic is still active in his hand.
Taking care to stay clear of the creatures claws, Weylan tentatively attacks the creature, probing it's defenses. His blow forces it to dodge but his defensive stance proves useful as he in return dodges the thing's glowing armed counterblow with its shadowy blade.
Can't really say never seen anything like it says Syfer as he closes into the monster and attacks. The spectral figure tries to dodge but Syfer's strike is quick and his metal claws rake through the creature's midsection, passing without resistance. The spectral figure howls and gibbers, a few words can be picked out "Corruptos! Corruptos!" those who speak goblin
With a sinking feeling, Inamar looks at her hand, then at the ghostly thing. She hadn't hurt it at all! And yet...and yet...something had happened. Maybe it was kind of like the giant goblin rats. Her power hadn't always worked on them right away either...
Hoping it's so, she turns another blast of primal magical energy onto it!
Try to ask it, until then keep attacking Syfer slashes at the creature again

Hoping it's so, she turns another blast of primal magical energy onto it! Again the blast strikes true passing entirely through the center of the creature. This time however there is a rippling and crackling effect where the magical bolt passed through the creature and part of its form unravels a little. It continues to gibber and cry out, perhaps one word in four understandable to those who speak goblin and these words seemingly uncconected in context.
Rooth shouts out as she closes with the spectral figure 'Its talking goblin!' 'its saying "corrupt corrupt to us" ' 'i dont understand why it is saying this' Rooth uses her flail on the thing. The path of her offworld flail head spins through the spectral creature's form entirely without seeming effect though it tries desperately to dodge her.
Try to ask it, until then keep attacking Syfer suggests as he slashes at the creature, again his claws rake through the creature's form despite its speed and attempted dodges, but again they pass through without resistance as if the creature did not exist.
With a nod Rooth shouts to the creature "Por que você está chamando corupt nós?" 'Falar para mim e para os meus amigos i dirá para deixar de atacar você' but the creature continues to gibber and slash about with the dagger wielded by the arm with the glowing sigil.
Listening to it's babbling, Weylan doubts that it is sane enough to be reasoned with. Remaining on the defensive, he continues striking at the strange creature.
Gravan takes a 5 foot into flanking if possible with either Rooth or Weylan (whichever is easier), and tries to strike with the charged cure spell again. "Perhaps this positive energy will quell your maddened state,"
Gravan's plant form shifts position to flank with Weylan and tries to strike with the charged cure spell again. Being incapable of speech in this form Gravan thinks "Perhaps this positive energy will quell your maddened state,"
Listening to the creature's babbling, Weylan doubts that it is sane enough to be reasoned with. Remaining on the defensive, he continues striking at the strange creature. His cautious strike forces the creature straight back into Gravan's blow and augmented magical life energy pours into the creature's being unraveling about half of the shadowy spectral essence that makes up the creature. It howls and gibbers and flails maniacally at Weylan, but the agile combatant expertly sidesteps the shadowy blade it wields.
