Grim runs to the west, calling out
"Take that shadow down! I'll take care of this thing!"
He pauses long enough to raise the point of his sword towards the one-eyed man and roar a war cry as he charges home. It was all blood and sharp steel.
As the shadowy thing creeps back into the brush, Carolina draws her crossbow and fires. The bolt strikes deep into the shadowy mass and it roils in response.
Lily flinched back from its hollow touch, the look on her face though was not one of fear, but of strange fascination. Unable to tear her eyes from the thing she fumbled around in her pack and drew out the skull she carried. Starting to come to her senses, Lily raised the skull high calling for the spirit she called Lith. Her shadow darkly sped across the ground and bloomed all teeth and hunger shapes in front of the other entity. As that happened she called out to the angry spirits to harass the creature. The alien mind of the foe is stronger than the spirits of the land.
Raiyek sees Grim take off after one foe and turns to engage the other after seeing that it can hit more than one of them at once. After pointing his sword at the creature in challenge, the elf takes a close look at the creature before charging in to attack.

Georg moves in a wide circle around the large shadow creature. He stops and swings his staff in a wide arc creating a great blaze just reaching the creature. The fires seem to catch it by surprise and the creature shies away from it.
Kruk stops running. "
Whoooow...what the heck was that!" He grips his battleaxe with new resolve and looks for an enemy to attack. He finds one. He takes a few deep breaths. Then moves north to get a better angle to attack. He charges the creature in the shadows
He hits with the sound of booming thunder with flashes of lightning flickering through the beast, showing its true size.
The dwarves has drawn the attention of the creature as it disappears into the shadows. It reappears next to Georg. One strikes the wizard, but the other is deflected by his new armour. It then swings another pair of tendrils out and grabs hold of Georg, squeezing tightly.
The man points his hands forward and a wave of cold spreads over Grim as he feels himself slowed by the chilling effect.

*Don't know if I mentioned it or not, but the path is 10' over the other area, hence Raiyek's athletics check. It wouldn't have affected his roll though. Just an FYI.

I'll try not to leave you guys (and Raiyek) out on a limb like that though.
