This time the Dread Wraith's arm comes from the wall and floor between Marienna and Gnurl. Featherwind squawks a warning. The shadowy arm seems to pass through the Gnome without harming him.
Meanwhile, H'Roosh whirls and whips out a leg in a round kick, but the Wraith besetting Geoffrey becomes incorporeal just as his extended foot should have made contact. Badly off balance, his follow up elbow and fist don't even come close to the shadowy form.
Whirling to face the threat so close to Marienna, Radoon begins swinging at the shadowy figure but seems to be fighting blind.
Anson feels the power of Marienna's spell ripple through him. With Mig aiding his defense, Anson again swings his swords in an interweaving fashion, this time at the Wraith, yelling, "Take that!" His long sword sweeps through the mist twice, jarring the wraith. His short sword hits once as well. The form before him utters an anguished cry, shudders and seems to flow apart, the various bits retreating into the shadows of the room and vanishing forever.
Gnurl will pat his satisfied tummy as he reaches into his Heward's Handy Haversack, and.... miracle of miracles, his Wand of Magic Missile is right there on top! Gnurl whups out the obsidian, ruby-tipped wand, and says, "Entschuldigüng!" The wand makes five rapid reports that sound like fingernails on a chalk board as it spews forth five glowing bursts of energy that speed unerringly into the Dread Wraith's huge arm only inches from the wand's tip. The Arm recoils in haste vanishing once more from view.
The remaining visible Wraith tries to attack H'Roosh, but he moves with a fluid grace that completely eludes the icy touch.

Okay, new round, I'm not sure the ever eager Gnurl had an action coming, but what the hell. At present only one Wraith is present in the room, with the Dread Wraith having vanished back into the walls and floor. Everyone can act on the remaining target or state a ready action for when the Dread Wraith returns.
