"Toys and tools have little value for me. What knowledge lies in these tomes, arcane ones?"

"Ah, do you mean to have this one build a gibbet for himself? Dramatic irony is not lost on me!"

"Password? He thinks that we will be allowed to simply walk away? Eat-in-Shadow thinks that we would be too easy to recognize. And I think this one's whimpering is annoying me. Let us rip him apart and be done with it."

No, you don't need a feat: Melee Blaster just makes it so that you don't provoke when you do.

@Tartarus: "Using a sphere ability provokes an attack of opportunity (unless cast defensively), requires a concentration check in difficult situations, ceases to function in an anti-magic field, and is subject to spell resistance." That is, unless you have
Additionally, making a ranged attack provokes again.
The Melee Blaster feat allows you to avoid provoking when you use it in melee.

"...bite and scratch and hurt and fight
they can't see without a light..."

Claw 1: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (16) + 3 = 19
Damage: 1d4 + 3 ⇒ (3) + 3 = 6
Claw 2: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (9) + 3 = 12
Damage: 1d4 + 3 ⇒ (4) + 3 = 7
Bite: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (2) + 3 = 5
Damage: 1d6 + 3 ⇒ (5) + 3 = 8

Eat-in-Shadow attacks the guard who was just hit by Aggghhh's greatsword, in case it's still standing. Otherwise, he moves to the next closest one, bringing darkness and pain.

Exhilarated by the bloodshed, Eat-in-Shadow pounces on the closest of the guards, shadows and blood mixing on the tips of claws and fangs.

Claw 1, charging: 1d20 + 3 + 2 ⇒ (16) + 3 + 2 = 21
Damage: 1d4 + 3 ⇒ (1) + 3 = 4
Claw 2, charging: 1d20 + 3 + 2 ⇒ (17) + 3 + 2 = 22
Damage: 1d4 + 3 ⇒ (3) + 3 = 6
Bite, charging: 1d20 + 3 + 2 ⇒ (18) + 3 + 2 = 23
Damage: 1d6 + 3 ⇒ (6) + 3 = 9

Additionally, in a radius of 10' from me, the light is two steps lower.

"Bite and tear and slash and hack
Paint the town in red and black
Turn that human into shreds
Paint the town in black and red"
Again, Eat-in-Shadows attacks with preternatural weapons, manifested from the most common fears of humankind.

Claw 1: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (8) + 3 = 11
Damage: 1d4 + 3 ⇒ (3) + 3 = 6
Claw 2: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (16) + 3 = 19
Damage: 1d4 + 3 ⇒ (2) + 3 = 5
Bite: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (17) + 3 = 20
Damage: 1d6 + 3 ⇒ (1) + 3 = 4

I'm still here.

Trying to carve a hole in the defensive wall of soldiers in front of him, Eat-in-Shadow unleashes a flurry of attacks.
Claw 1: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (17) + 3 = 20
Damage: 1d4 + 3 ⇒ (4) + 3 = 7
Claw 2: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (8) + 3 = 11
Damage: 1d4 + 3 ⇒ (1) + 3 = 4
Bite: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (1) + 3 = 4
Damage: 1d6 + 3 ⇒ (3) + 3 = 6

Eat-in-Shadow moves in, silent as a dead laughter, deadly as a mistake.

Spending my last spell point to keep two claws and a bite, attacking the northernmost guard. Those 10 ft. from me are in my darkness (light loweed by two steps).
Claw 1: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (9) + 3 = 12
Damage: 1d4 + 3 ⇒ (2) + 3 = 5
Claw 2: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (5) + 3 = 8
Damage: 1d4 + 3 ⇒ (1) + 3 = 4
Bite: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (10) + 3 = 13
Damage: 1d6 + 3 ⇒ (5) + 3 = 8

Eat-in-Shadow follows, his darkness aura coalesced around him.

Eat-in-Shadow steps forward. "My darkness can enshroud a couple of us, and their arrows will have a harder time finding their mark. Will someone be a shield in front of me?"

Sorry, I had accidentally disabled the updates.

As his chuckle became disembodied, Eat-in-Shadow shrouded himself in darkness, his form becoming more and more animalistic and savage, a nightmare made real.

Standard to call darkness for 1 minute, move action to shapeshift, gaining claws and bite.

Aah, thanks.
Eat-in-Shadow stands back as those stronger and mightier than him assault the wooden enemy.

If Aggghhh's was an attack, I think he dealt enough damage by himself to tear it down.

I can't do much here, but I can Aid Another if you could use an extra push.

Sure, stairs work for me.

Shrouded in darkness, Eat-in-Shadow's form become again more ghoulish and savage. "I'm ready."

Keeping up a claws-and-bite transformation through concentrato.

"Eat-in-Shadow can, but it's small. Only me and a couple more would fit."
Eat-in-Shadow's mutation has run out in the meantime, his claws retracting and his skin losing his adherence.

"Eat-in-Shadow needs nothing but freedom and darkness. Lead the way, companions."

"His corpse will send a message as good as any. Let's not leave vengeful enemies."

"Two little guardsmen, we've already won
one got its throat ripped and then there was just one."

Eat-in-Shadow charges at the guard, claws dripping blood, shadows enveloping him.
Claw 1, charge: 1d20 + 3 + 2 ⇒ (20) + 3 + 2 = 25
Damage: 1d4 + 3 ⇒ (2) + 3 = 5 I rolled the wrong dice earlier, sorry.
Claw 2, charge: 1d20 + 3 + 2 ⇒ (4) + 3 + 2 = 9
Damage: 1d4 + 3 ⇒ (1) + 3 = 4
Crit confirm: 1d20 + 3 + 2 ⇒ (1) + 3 + 2 = 6
Damage: 1d4 + 3 ⇒ (3) + 3 = 6
AC -2 until my next turn.

Eat-in-Shadow steps over the downed guard and cheerfully claws at the nearby archer.
"Stepping forward, stepping back
Paint the ground in red and black
There's a human, now he's dead
Paint the ground in black and red"

Claw 1: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (8) + 3 = 11
Claw 2: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (13) + 3 = 16
Damage 1: 1d6 + 3 ⇒ (2) + 3 = 5
Damage 2: 1d6 + 3 ⇒ (1) + 3 = 4

As they are in my area of shadows, Aggghhh should have concealment.

AoO: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (16) + 3 = 19
Damage: 1d6 + 3 ⇒ (2) + 3 = 5

After swiping at the running guard, Eat-in-Shadow uncoils the rope and fastens it to the nearest support, throwing it down for the others to climb.

If the guard survives Mei's attack
Eat-in-Shadow renews the attack, growling as the arrow strikes him. One of his claws finds purchase in soft flesh.
Attack 1: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (2) + 3 = 5
Damage 1: 1d6 + 3 ⇒ (1) + 3 = 4
Attack 2: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (17) + 3 = 20
Damage 2: 1d6 + 3 ⇒ (4) + 3 = 7

Otherwise
Taking cover behind Mei, Eat-in-Shadow uncoils his rope and ties it to the closest anchorpoint, so that the others will manage to climb up.

Ah, nevermind, I thought it was normal light. Then I just lower it two steps, to dim light, giving me concealment.

"We may be, but in the dark you are alone."
Eat-in-Shadow calls forth total, eye-blinding darkness again coalescing around him, a cloak of shadows dampening the light.

Standard action to dampen light to total darkness in a 10' radius around me. All non-magical lights are suppressed. Move action to get 10' to the side, hoping to give Mei a flank in the next action.

Eat-in-Shadow rushes alongside Mei, his hands sticking to the surface of the wall like a gecko's.

Climb (climb speed): 1d20 + 3 + 8 ⇒ (17) + 3 + 8 = 28

I only just realized that the last 2 posts I had written were eaten by the forum. Sorry for the inaction.

Eat-in-Shadows takes the rope, tying one end into a loop. "It's a suitable plan. Darkness walks with me."
As soon as the orc moves to open the door, the shadow around the unseelie monstrosity coalesce and deepen to a deep blackness, eating away the light around.
Keeping a metamorphosis for a climb speed, spending 1 spell point to make it last as soon as we start heading for the wall.

"Eat-in-Shadow can also climb easily."
The monster has been quiet in his come of penumbra during the discussion, needing no weapon or armor other than his own shifting.

"Darkness shifting like a coat
While we're biting at your throat."

Eat-in-Shadow almost casually gets to slicing again (If there's someone who's still up), throwing improvised nursery rhymes off the top of his head.

Claw 1: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (10) + 3 = 13
Damage: 1d4 + 3 ⇒ (1) + 3 = 4
Claw 2: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (1) + 3 = 4
Damage: 1d4 + 3 ⇒ (4) + 3 = 7

After cutting one of them down, Eat-in-Shadow gleefully and silently turns his claws at the next one.
Attack: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (20) + 3 = 23
Damage: 1d4 + 3 ⇒ (1) + 3 = 4
Attack: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (6) + 3 = 9
Damage: 1d4 + 3 ⇒ (1) + 3 = 4
Crit confirm: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (2) + 3 = 5
Damage: 1d4 + 3 ⇒ (1) + 3 = 4

Sorry if my posting is slow, RL just turned a lot more hectic.

Eat-in-Shadow hangs upside-down on a chair's back, killing time while the others trade words.
"Same plan as before? I blind them, then everyone goes wild?"

Dear me, I miss one day and suddenly everyone is dead.

Eat-in-Shadow, satisfied with the onslaught facilitated by his darkness, shows that his name is not just for show chewing on a severed thigh.
"No hiding the bodies. Those who come shall wade around in rotting bodies, and fear that we are hiding in every corner. Fear will wash over them, and the echo of the slaughter will haunt their nightmares. Unless it is set on fire, of course."

Eat-in-Shadow calls on the darkness and rushes in the door, light fading as his presence calls on the primal fear of the unseen.

I'll end my movement two squares to the right of Tartarus. I guess that one minute passed, so I'll shapeshift again to get claws and a web (from Vermin Transformation).

"Let me shroud them in darkness, and strike as their sight is clouded."

Eat-in-Shadow grabs one of the guards by the throat. As the poor sap wakes up, he crushes his windpipe, savoring the scent of fear as he slowly suffocates, his eyes unable to see anything in the darkness surrounding his killer.

Fear the dark and fear the night,
As you lose your precious sight,
I can smell and taste your fright,
Snuff a life like candlelight

Eat-in-Shadow is about to pounce on the guard as Igor comes forward with a bluff. Instead of going for the man's throat, the bogeyman sticks to a corner, hidden in his own darkness.

Stealth: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (8) + 7 = 15

Armed just with tooth and claw, Eat-in-Shadow checks out the room smelling of sweat and bodies.

Eat-in-Shadow raises his head, sniffing the air and pointing at the doors, first to the right and then to the left. "Something cooking, something spoiled, something drunk and something oiled. Eat-in-Shadow smells sweat and bodies in the last one, either it's a gym or something more flavorful."

"Eat-in-Shadow can hide and skulk, and from the outside we can block the doors and set the fire. Not as satisfying as crunching on a spine, but Eat-in-Shadow can compromise for the sake of simplicity."

Eat-in-Shadow lashes out at the closest human, wicked claws and wicked fangs ripping and tearing in the darkness.

Attack, Claw 1: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (5) + 3 = 8
Attack, Claw 2: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (4) + 3 = 7
Attack, Bite: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (17) + 3 = 20

Damage, Claw 1: 1d4 + 3 ⇒ (1) + 3 = 4
Damage, Claw 2: 1d4 + 3 ⇒ (2) + 3 = 5
Damage, Bite: 1d4 + 3 ⇒ (2) + 3 = 5

If they are shaken or frightened, I get +2 to attack against them and to Will.

Eat-in-Shadow remains creeping in his darkness, standing ready in case Igor's plan goes to high hell.

"I agree." growls Eat-in-Shadow. "Eat-in-Shadow can't look like humans, but Igor may. Not that it would help much. Let us go forth and bring destruction to these hapless Talireans."

I can't edit the map, but I'm dampening lights in a radius of 10 ft. from me and moving next to the guards. For 1 minute, anything other than bright light becomes darkness, and bright light becomes dim.

Dropping to all fours, Eat-in-Shadow moves towards the intruders. Around him, light gets snuffed out, calling up the primeval, instinctive fear of the dark most humans never get over.

Nevermind, it was only a surprise round so I'll just shift.

Moving forward, something in Eat-in-Shadow shifts. His hands elongate into claws, his teeth into fangs, and he moves in the darkness with purpose and certainty.
Spending 1 spell point to get a bite and two claws, then moving inside.
