At the beginning of Round 6, two of the casters and one of the shadows have fallen to your skillful defense. The girl, thought dead, is now breathing. S'jeer hides at the edge of the woods with the girl in her hands, watching your battle with the shadow and remaining caster with wide eyes.
Round 6 actions, please.
In Round 5, I would have move the Flaming Sphere -- you made the reflex save.
In Round 6, I did not see any movement by the Shadow, so the flaming sphere should continue to burn it. If I have to move it, I will. And I will move to remain adjacent to the caster to make him draw AoO and give Smith flanking.
EDIT - My rounds might be off. Last round, you moved me as I wanted so that I was next to the caster.
Sorry for the confusion. I did not realize that you were still editing the combat post.
If I have not posted clearly, please bot me as necessary.
1) I want to make sure the flaming sphere is burning the shadow.
2) I will try to move next to any caster that is left.
Use the above rolls or roll for me if needed.

S'jeer, with the girl in her arms, walks to the center of the clearing and gently lays her at Valen's feet.
"You, sir, are blessed by the Grey Queen herself! You have healed young Aleece and returned her to us. I cannot but thank you and her in kind. She truly is as merciful to the meek as some say she is. May her judgement always be fair and swift." Then, S'jeer bows her head for a moment, taking a knee in front of Valen. After a moment, she picks up the young girl and moves to the clearing.
"I will wait here until your group is ready to return to the caravan."
Madeline quickly moves to search first the bodies, thence moving slightly further afield to check for any enemy camp-site and any goods or information kept within.
She instructs Smith to stay close and also help with the search.
Smith moves with his Mistress and searches for anything which might be of interest to her.
edit-
What foul creature was dis? - were me eyes playing tricksie? I swear by Torag's balls I hit de ting and me sword passed tru it!
Weehawk moves around the perimeter to make sure no foes remain before returning to Valen
Are you okay priest? Doze tings seemed ta want yer snuffed....at any rate tanks to you and your goddess
S'jeer, with the girl in her arms, walks to the center of the clearing and gently lays her at Valen's feet.
Distracted in assessing the fight's damage, Valen turns unexpectedly at the sudden praise, and nods in thank you to S'jeer. "Pharasma finds us all - great or small - worthy of the path of life, and judges all as you say - fairly. I am just glad that she did not deem it necessary to take this young one so soon."
As the woman moves back to the clearing and Valen relaxes, the fatigue of the shadow's attack rushes back and he sits down to recuperate. He takes out the Wand of Lesser Restoration. "Alexa, Weehawk - were you wounded by the shadow creatures? If so, I can use this wand to alleviate the fatigue." He will use a charge to alleviate the shadow's effects on either of them.
What foul creature was dis? - were me eyes playing tricksie? Are you okay priest? Doze tings seemed ta want yer snuffed....at any rate tanks to you and your goddess
Valen nods in acknowledgement at Weehawk's thanks. "A little winded from the shadows' touch. Shadows are a servant of undeath and apparently these priests. The remnants of greedy, petty souls that avoid Pharasma's final judgment; I am sure that the holy light of her touch made me their preferred target."
Alexa's shoulders sag as the combat finishes.
Those were ghosts or something like that. Creatures of this world, but not. Some like them require weapons of cold iron, others magic, and still others weapons of silver. Your sword seemed to damage them Weehawk, so I would assume that whatever they were is hurt by magical weapons.
She then sits on the ground and looks around.
Is the girl okay? I really feel drained, as though that thing just sucked the strength out of me.
Alexa will also cast Detect Magic. She will then point out the magic items and allow one of the others to discern what exactly they are while she catches her breath.
When the time presents itself - possibly back at caravan camp - Valen will also try to decipher the items for their ability with Detect Magic.
(6) Cure Light Wounds vials.
Three unmarked vials, etched with small daggers on them.
Six magical scrolls.
Leather breastplate studded with steel. The armor glows very faintly.
