Message: <blockquote data-quote="CanadienneBacon" data-source="post: 3512572" data-attributes="member: 11146">Chev takes a swing at the shadow and hits a solid blow, good for 4 points of damage.  One vaporous shadowy wing of the fiend sizzles away to nothing under the finely honed edge of the battlepriest's axe.  With an angry hiss, the shadow ceases its spellcasting.[sblock=Brakkus]Right when Chev nailed the shadow just then, Brakkus was starting to feel lightheaded and weak in the knees.  He would've also felt his heart tighten as the shadow tried to possess him.  Chev likely just saved Brakkus's life.[/sblock]Gamad reaches out with his mind to draw the lantern to himself at the front of the cave but finds that he's no longer in range of the lantern and can't control it.After cursing a warning to Chev and Brakkus then righting himself, Voadam withdraws from the edge of the cave terrace and heads toward Gamad.  Though all is dark in the cave, after just a step or two, Voadam finds that the quality of the light changes dramatically; where, by the shadow's spell, the area had been pitch black, the darkness in which he now stands is normal nighttime darkness.Furious, the shadow bites Chev on the arm, dealing 2 points of damage.The wound grows cold, the edges of the ragged bite stiffen with frost.  Though no blood seeps through the open bite, the wound burns with unnatural heat.Undiscouraged, Brakkus takes a swipe with his guisarme at where he judges the shadow to be.  Once again, the blade at the polearm's end goes through clean air without hitting anything.In the magical darkness, Chev and Brakkus feel the whoosh of wind flowing away from their position down the tunnel.  Hair and cloaks are buffeted in the ragged breeze.  A hollow seething screech of infernal rage echoes from down the tunnel, followed sharply by a loud thump.Quite plainly to everyone in the cave, though the shadow no longer lurks close at hand, the magical darkness lingers.  Whatever is dragging up the tunnel continues to do so and will likely be at hand within seconds.  Initiative:Chev 16Gamad 14Voadam 13Creature 12Brakkus 12Dragging sound 8</blockquote>
