Message: <blockquote data-quote="Graf" data-source="post: 4360092" data-attributes="member: 3087">Heian shifts closer to Silvi, trying to relieve the pressure and challenging one of the shadow rat things.As golden light of Heian's rebukue envelopes the creature it hisses pitifully "no... good... am good..." then Silvi cuts it down.Several of the creatures break. "Stand firm! Paradise awaits!" howls the larger creature who had been mocking Eldan earlier, but the creatures show no sign of stopping their darkened forms becoming indistinct will o'wisps beyond the light of Eldan's helm.Flanked by its larger brethren one of the smaller creatures remains, leaping forward to <a href="http://invisiblecastle.com/roller/view/1652246/" target="_blank">nip at Eldan [3 dam]</a>Ignoring his attacker Eldan steps forward to make a <a href="http://invisiblecastle.com/roller/view/1647797/" target="_blank">viper's strike [7 dam]</a> at the larger creature menacing Silvi.Quinn, finally roused into action, launches a powerful that slams Eldan's mocker, and releases a concussive wave that slays remaining little creature. A moment later its brave words still hanging in the air the mocker has slunk away into the darkness.Hissing in frustration the final creature bolts away, <a href="http://invisiblecastle.com/roller/view/1652250/" target="_blank">slipping under Silvi's blade </a>and to freedom.[sblock=OOC]Silvi's last attack was the OA from Eldan's viper's strike.The creatures all shifted and then used their standard to run, scattering into the forest in different directions.[/sblock]Eldan's helm ceases emitting its red glow, floating back down into his hand. The bank is eerily quite now, save for the rippling sound of the river.The bodies of the shadow creatures shudder and shift before your eyes growing and changing in silence until they become those of men and women. Unclothed, with hair and fingernails that looks like it has never been cut, they range in age from their 20s to their 40s.The stubby figure approaches Eldan, it's hand raised for a warriors clasp.Up close, it is obvious the creature is no dwarf, in fact it's like no creature you recall ever seeing before. It most closely resembles a mushroom; albeit one that grew arms and legs and started walking around. What you mistook for a broad brimmed hat in the dark is in fact part of its head, the cap of a mushroom.  It's white leathery flesh is covered with scars, it has only three digits on its hands and three small holes in its face. To where a pair of eyes would go and one for a mouth. The mouth doesn't seem to actually lead anywhere, though it moves animatedly no sound arises.It appears naked and has no equipment save for a large piece of petrified wood.</blockquote>
