Sorry for the delay; I thought I was still waiting for someone to post.Scarm and Eithal, I'm going to need one saving throw from each of you. Lingering traces of madness and all that.[/gm]Damen spots a tiny hole in the tree trunk. From the dimensions of the marking and its depth, he skillfully determines that it was left by a blade being stabbed into the tree. Eithal, Jarel-karn, and Yishim focus all their concentration on this one spot, staring at it intently as they conjure an opposing magical force in an attempt to dispel the magic.Despite the potency of the shadow spell, it begins to break down under the weight of the counterspell. The tree begins to shake, and great ruptures open up in the trunk as the clash of magic tears it asunder. One large branch is ripped off and falls next to Scarm, nearly crushing him. The ambient shadows nearby flicker unnaturally, growing into solid black masses and then fading away again.With one final effort by the heroes, these manifestations are silenced and the spell finally fizzles away. Everyone in the party feels the psychic pressure lifting from their minds. Kaz was apparently not an illusion, and he is still a (dead) zombie. He is also carrying some rather valuable equipment. His friends in life refrain from salvaging from his corpse, but Beatrice takes an amulet similar to her own from him, and Damen finds a mask imbued with shadows when rummaging through his backpack.The party rests easy now that the spell has been disrupted. Everyone takes some time to recover from the ordeal.[gm]5 successes from rounds 1 & 2. Stonegod, 3 successes for the crit sounds reasonable. So 5 + 6 this round = 11 total, which is enough for a total victory. Congrats. <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f60e.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":cool:" title="Cool    :cool:"  data-smilie="6"data-shortname=":cool:" />You'll have an extended rest before the next encounter. I'd say it's time for some XP. You all should have enough to level up, which you can do now.

A person comes into view from behind a thick set of bushes at least 100 feet away, not making any effort to hide their approach. As the figure approaches, you see that it is a female lizardfolk wearing a blue belted robe. She has a hefty mace tucked into her belt."Very interessting, you ssoftsskins are.
