Francis' yell caused Borric to come to his senses, and the new scout goes for impaling Varrath at the end of his rapier, though the hooded man's unnatural reflexes allow him to leap effortlessly backwards and an inch away from its point. Francis moved to get between Varrath and Borric, and the arced path of his own rapier barely misses the throat of the dodging demigod. A loud chuckle escapes from Varrath as if he is enjoying a private joke.
That chuckle is stopped short by Krindorf the Red's morningstar. Somehow the stout man got behind the demigod and slammed him hard along the flat of his back. Sir Goodlake and Duncan struck next and at the same time, though only Goodlake landed the next blow as his sword cut into the side of Varrath's robe and came away with black ichor.
Varrath gasped and held his side, but then chanted some kind of incantation and the room filled with darkness. Another chuckle echoes around the room as you sense Varrath has moved away from the center of the fight.
OOC: Varrath just cast darkness. You are now fighting blind.

You sense that Halford is out now as you can't see him among those fighting, although you don't sense him near you either. Somehow you can see the entire fight despite the darkness. Varrath has moved with inhuman speed about fifty feet away from where he was before he cast the spell and is staring at the different party members as the darkness obviously doesn't effect him.

Borric curses at missing the blighter, "Oy, it got dark in here!"
He continues in a sing-song tone, "Oh milooord, where ever did you go?" He moves forward to where he thinks Varrath went hoping he'll come out of the darkness and be next to the cackling mad man and able to strike.
Rapier +7, 1d6+3, 20% miss if still in Darkness and he finds him. The spell only has 20ft radius so we are able to move out from under the spell if the room is big enough.

Francis backpedals, keeping his rapier gripped in two hands. He tries to keep the cackling voice in front of him, hoping his back can find purchase against a wall, limiting the routes the dream-god Varrath can assault him from. This isn't real, this isn't real, the young man repeated to himself, steeling his resolve and nerves.

Sir Richard also backs to a wall, keeping his sword in front of him swinging it toward a noise if he hears the demigod in front or near him.

Duncan growls as darkness clouds his sight. He stumbles his way forward, trying to get out of the cloud.

The party gets separated, some going forward, others backward, while some stay inside the darkness.
Borric moves forward and out of the sphere, along the right side of the stairs, where he sees Varrath standing another 20 feet away and near the far wall. Francis moved backward and bumped into the wall shortly after leaving the darkness, but was able to see Varrath from his vantage. Varrath laughed once more and flung something from the folds of his robes. The object seemed like something out of nightmares: a black blade of some sort with the lively twitching legs of a spider. The spider blade missed Borric's left cheek by just a hair and disappeared into nothing.
In the next instance, Varrath touched the wall behind him with his hands and crawled upwards like an inverted spider until he was about 20 feet off the ground and staring down at the party.
Sir Richard stumbled backward to end up next to Francis, while Duncan popped forward and stood next to Borric. Krindorf finished his spell and was still in the sphere of darkness but could gather the basics of what was going on because of the hollers and yells.
