Smiles at the response-

Bows his head slightly as an apology to the lady.

Lucrezia blushes slightly in embarrassment.

It is Faelyn's turn to blush. He turns his attention to the surroundings. If we are attacked, should I enlarge you Duncan?

"Oh.." Apparently it finally hit Lucrezia that Faelyn may have been attempting to flirt with her and is at a bit of a loss what to say next.

Either me self or John. I do most o the killin' John's the anchor.

Devil's Judge would be devastating one size larger!

Farlyn pulls out a scroll.

Everyone hears and sees a rolling mass of squeaking, bodies flashing gnarly teeth. They are moving towards your light and are 50 feet away. they are moving towards John and Duncan.

There is bit of shadowy wisp of movement 30 feet in front of John.

Using Alchemical silver arrows just in case.

"That the f+~* is that thing? A damn shadowbeast?" Lucrezia turns and fires a couple of arrows at the "amorphous creature" that she sees. She'll grab a couple of her special arrows in case that it is. Better to waste them and be wrong and not use them and be right...

Knowledge Planes: 1d20 + 13 ⇒ (6) + 13 = 19 +1 if shadow beast

Begins casting enlarge person on Duncan from a scroll.

Faelyn ,I believe we have multiple light spells running, as per posts on the last page

My light spell is on Lucrezia's bow. I'm not sure if we need higher level light or not.

Intelligence Check on light: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (4) + 6 = 10

RD 2: Shadowgarm reacts to Faelyn's EPS

Fort Save: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (10) + 3 = 13

The creature writhes around from the noise.

Faelyn your knowledge does not extend that far.

RD 2: The Rat Swarm

The rats scurry forward, their little teeth nibbling gouging at fresh flesh. They begin climbing over your feet and up your armor.

Damage to John and Duncan: 1d6 ⇒ 5

Plus Fort Save DC12.

Edit: The attack was against both John and Duncan.

Being large, I now take up 4 squares and have reach, can I reach the snake? So put me in front, john would have had to move.

As the rats swarm over him Duncan grunts. Faelyn, blast me! I can take it.
Fort save vs rats1d20 + 6 ⇒ (7) + 6 = 13

Don't step on Fiosa!

Being large, I now take up 4 squares and have reach, can I reach the snake?

I think you would have to 5 ft to L,M 17,18. You can reach John's undead/incorporeal enemy and the swarm.

Fort save vs rats1d20+6

The issue is you are now occupying space of other PC's, so I'm going to rule you had to move forward 5 ft to permit your body to grow. You are now occupying L/M 17/18. otherwise you would be pushing john, an immovable object out of the way along with squishing Foisa. From this position no you can't reach the shadowgarm. You can reach the lesser shadow and the rat swarm.

That is building on your other side.

Lucrezia lets loose a stream of profanity expressing her frustration with their continued situation as she reaches into her pack and grabs a flask and throws it at the rat swarm attacking Duncan.

attack/throw 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (12) + 8 = 20
damage 1d6 ⇒ 4

Whipple: Please don't squeeze the halfling!

What's it a flask of?

Fiosa readies her wand.

D'oh, sorry, don't know how I left that out. It's Alchemist's fire.

RD 2:

The shadow will attack John again but its touch comes up short.

Touch attack: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (3) + 2 = 5Damage to Str: 1 = 1

I did ear piercing scream in the second round (10 points dmg to the dead snake before Ermolos).

I know it was still alive after your EPS.

I just wrote that because my action was blank on your update for round 2

The shadow feels Andrea's positive energy.

Will Save DC 16: 1d20 + 2 + 1 ⇒ (16) + 2 + 1 = 19

It does not flee.

Daffy Duck sums up Andrea's face right now.
