The shadow withers away in the searing light!
As if the lamia and four skeletal champions weren’t trouble enough, a pair of dark shadows rise up from the floor to either side of the lamia! These whisper unintelligible threats...
Seeing it's companion destroyed by the flash of positive energy from the wand in Lady Zal's hand, the second shadow seems to cower over one of the two skeletons on the floor, as if trying to shrink down inside it.... Lady Zal touches the shade with the wand, another flash of golden radiance brightens the dim cafe briefly, and with a wailing moan and sizzling, sputtering, flickering, the second shadow dissipates! NNNOOOOOooooohhhh!!!! *crackle!*....*poof!!*
A golden glow radiates briefly from the wand as Lady Zal passes it through the shadowy form, which hisses loudly, crackles and flickers briefly, then fades away!
Both shadows wail piteously as the ectoplasmic flames consume the edges of their shadowy, shroud-like forms.... GGGAAAAAAHHHHHHHH!!!!
One of the shadows turns from Zed to drift closer to Nalket, reaching for her with wispy shadow-arms.... The other continues its deadly dance with Zed....
With a terrific BANG!!!, Geirmur's musket ball passes through the fleshless, boneless monster and ricochets around the cafe dangerously, finally settling by chance in the eye socket of one of the forlorn skeletons! The shadow seems not to have noticed the shot at all....
Lady Zal's query seems to be answered by a distant rumble of thunder and the unholy howls of the wraiths as they weather Zed's acid, Nalket's flames, and then Gnaarrg's ectoplasmic bomb.... *BOOOOOOMMMMM!!!!....* OOOOOOWWWWWOOOOOHHHH!!!! Lightning briefly brightens the sky outside a few seconds later....
The shadows writhe and moan in the crackling flames of Nalket's spell! AAAOOOOOoooohhh!!!!
The shadow struck by Zed's magic acid sizzles and hisses....
The two shadows, being adjacent to each other, are both caught in the splash of Gnaarrg's ectoplasmic bomb, and both wail with deep, sepulchral voices! OooOOOooOOOOOooo!!!
The shadows whisper with deep, sepulchral voices in an alien tongue: Androffan:
Why isss death ssso cold? Why isss it ssso empty? Hold meee.... Let me feeel your waaarmthhh.... Both float toward Zed, shadow-claws outstretched to caress the android!
As Zed is examining the two skeletons in the dark cafe, a pair of shadows that aren't his loom across the littered floor and walls, seeming to stretch from the two skeletons.... He hears a cold, dry hissing that seems to come from the darker shadows....
With a mighty sweep of his magic earth breaker, Alphonse causes the shadow to collapse into a dark bundle that dissipates like smoke in the wind!
The lone shadow reaches out tendrils of darkness shaped like skeletal hands and arms to caress Nacht.... missing!
The shadow evades Nacht's swing!
The remaining shadow lunges at Nacht.... Incorporeal touch But the Beetle Man is too fast, and slips away from the shadowy claws....
Alphonse hammers the second shadow....it shrieks in pain! He springs away from it nearer the drawbridge....
Iommi launches a second vial of holy water at the wounded shadow and scores a direct hit that banishes the shadow to the nether realm! One remains....
Nacht's greatsword slashes the shadow that Alphonse struck with his hammer, and the evil spirit moans and quivers....but persists in its deadly assault!
The shadows move to flank Alphonse, passing through the corner of the doorway.... Incorporeal touch misses.... Incorporeal touch deals Strength damage to Alphonse!
One of the shadows dodges a vial of holy water lobbed by Iommi....
Alphonse hammers a shadow with his magical earth breaker, causing its whispy form to ripple momentarily, and it lets out a sepulchral groan of pain!
Simultaneous with the emergence from the canopy bed of the ghastly woman, two black shapes of pure shadow rise up from the floor to either side of the doorway, within a 5-ft step each of flanking Alphonse! Initiative |
