[QUOTE="Nonlethal Force, post: 2807251, member: 35788"] As Ray begins to approach the blackness just slightly ahead of the party - once the blackness gets within his full radiance and not the shadowy illumination - it becomes quite clear that this blackness is not something tangible. Instead, the reason that the blackness could not be penetrated is because the Ray now stands 20' from the edge of what appears to be a significant cliff. The cliff, while only 10 feet wide, as high enough above the ground that neither Ray nor the party can see the ground. [Sblock]Although, to be fair, Ray is still 20' from the cliff and the party is just slightly behind them. I didn't want to assume the party got close lit-up as they are.[/Sblock] Even as close as Ray is and the rest of the party is to the edge of the cliff, the blackness does not leave. Any light shone in the direction out over the cliff does nothing to illuminate the space. Any light shone into the space above the cliff does nothing to reveal any ceiling that may or may not be above the cliff. Either the walls opposite the cliff are a long ways off, or they are hidden by some kind of magic. The same is true for the ceiling. Of course, being day - the party can realize that there must be something up above preventing the light of day from entering this area. [/QUOTE]
