Fire Pit, Crypt of the Everflame, Serpent Gorge, 40 Miles South of Kassen, Southern Fangwood, Nirmathas
The shadow continues its advance towards the exposed kobold, its form detaching from the walls and floor. It floats away from the wall, rising up and above Snaggle and billowing like a dark cloud. Tendrils of shadowy smoke reach out from its mass, eventually curling around the warded body of the sorcerer. The shield of force interacts particularly favorably against the creature, for it is able to do no harm.

Gamble completes his detect magic spell before turning his attention to the shadow, trying to fully assess the creature.
Once he has determined the full nature of the threat, he tries to apprise the rest of his allies as quickly as he can, shouting out if necessary.

[sblock=Detect Magic]You've discovered the location of both faint magical auras. One emanates from an item in the fire, and the other from the Shadow. Though you cannot tell the school to which item is aligned, the Shadow definitely has an aura of unholy necromantic air about it. It seems latent necromantic magic has interacted with the recent events in this room to unleash this horror.[/sblock]
[sblock=DC 15 Knowledge (Religion) Lore]Shadows are difficult creatures to deal with. First, they are incorporeal, which means they are not affected by most nonmagical means, though you can still hurt them with holy water and energy damage, such as a flaming torch. Second, they do not deal traditional damage with their incorporeal touch. Instead, they sap the victim's strength. If someone dies from such attacks, they will rise as a shadow as well.[/sblock]
[sblock=DC 20 Knowledge (Religion) Lore]The sinister shadow skirts the border between the gloom of darkness and the harsh truth of light. The shadow prefers to haunt ruins where civilization has moved on, where it hunts living creatures foolish enough to stumble into its territory. The shadow is an undead horror, and as such has no goals or outwardly visible motivations other than to sap life and vitality from living beings. Shadows are created through the gruesome and horrible death of the creature while it was alive. In this case, it seems this shadow formed after one of the villagers, likely terrified of fire, was burned alive.[/sblock]

Fire Pit, Crypt of the Everflame, Serpent Gorge, 40 Miles South of Kassen, Southern Fangwood, Nirmathas
The shadow slowly advances towards the retreating kobold, floating up next to both Snaggle and Gamble. The halfling and lion pair that dart in and out of the room also catch the creature's eye.
So many choices...
But the pain originating from the diminutive sorcerer marks it as the greatest threat. The shadow again brushes its dark claws over and along the kobold, in retaliation for the acid attack. The air ripples slightly as one long tendril slips past Snaggle's force bubble. The smoky trail of shadow pierces through the kobold's flesh, seemingly reaching into his very soul. He grows incredibly cold as his strength drains from him, causing his knees to buckle under his own weight. When Snaggle wearily jerks away and the clawed hand finally withdraws, you can all see that your companion is not his usual bouncing self, instead replaced by a weak and tired shell.
