Fichead puts the crystal statue down as the preparations begin. By the time Drelluarunde starts Fichead has explained her role and the now awake Suzie serious follows the wizard to the stage.

Sleight of hand R2 to aid: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (1) + 8 = 9
When Eynumb begins her her crazy exercise, the dwarf responds with a spell, then follows the others against their foe.
R1, cast mage armor, draws dagger. R2 move forward throw dagger at the wayang.

"Fools! You cling to pointless traditions that hold us back in fear. I'll show you the truth!" Eynemb shouts.
Eynemb invokes necromantic forces. Rossby feels the threat of terror rising in the back of his mind.

”Keep it up!” Drelluandast encourages Figg as the two short folks continue to maintain the planar sealing. ”I mean, I can hop out if we really need, but I know Fichaed can also conjure creatures so I don’t think I could add much right now!”

Drelluandast successfully aides Figg to control the theatric play and seal the shadows!!
1 hits: 1d2 ⇒ 1
After Rossby hits Eynemb and clearly demoralizes him, you see that Marius engages him with a flurry of claw attacks where two shred the Wayangs body and one destroys an image!
1 hits: 1d2 ⇒ 11d2 ⇒ 2
Eynemb is still standing but clearly injured!
"You are all fools!! The darkness you are trying to prevent is only superstition!"

Fichead gave instructions on Discord.
Fichead moves and draws axe.
Suzie Derkins, the eidolon aids the performance!

Fogg tries his best with the help us his dwarven, gnome and Wayang allies but although the lantern light begins to flicker, the illusionary giants over the ocean do not seem to be affected.
Still 1 success.

"You will see that you are embarrassing yourself!! My generation will reverse!" Eynemb shouts.

Round 3
Figg, already announced action! 2 Successes!
Figg now is putting his whole personality into the performance and also the Eidolon and Drelluandast utilize their understanding of the cosmic planes to try to keep the ritual going.
As you are working, everyone, including Eynemb, discovers that the ritual is more than just an entertaining ceremony passed down through the ages!!!
I am back!! Back!!! Now die!! you hear in your head.
This is a dark psychic scream that pushes into your mind!!
The color suddenly drains from everything on the beach as if sucked away into the ocean, leaving you in a gray scale world. Even your own clothing and flesh are affected.
Shadowy black tentacles burst forth around the stage, flailing about menacingly.

Drelluandast

”Aaaah! Don’t stop!” Drelluandast yells as he squints through the pain. Not the Bleaching! I’m too young to die!!
Since Figg’s not on the tracker, I’m worried we might not have another round to gain successes. If that’s the case, Drelluandast will roll a Primary check rather than an Aid. If that’s just a formatting issue and Figg will be able to act again, Drelluandast will roll to Aid.

Marius rolled 16,18,16 last time, shouldn't that have been 3 hits? Or 1 I suppose, but 2 seems odd!
Marius is a whirling dervish of claw and bite, rage at the hubris of this individual who seems to think they know better than the community
Bite, flank, PA: 1d20 + 5 + 2 - 1 ⇒ (18) + 5 + 2 - 1 = 24

It's a little unclear, mechanically, what is happening. Rossby dealt non-lethal damage, so if Eynemb drops below 6 hp, he should be unconscious; otherwise, is he mechanically prone for this attack but not unconscious?

Hi Rossby: Eynemb is unconscious and lying on the ground! Sorry for the lack of details.
So there is an unknown enemy that will act on Eynemb‘s turn. You can now delay if you want or buff etc. Rossby.
should I be acting this round?
Hi Figg: I took your round 3 action as you rolled already. It is not your turn yet in round 4. But I realize that I skipped over Fichead’s round 3 action. :-(

With Figg able to act next round, Drelluandast will use the previous roll to Aid the ritual.
| GM Nowruz |
Fear of the dark and the shadows that dwell within the darkness are primal fears.
Since the dawn of the races, there was an innate awareness that things we couldn’t see represented potential danger or death.
The darkness that is forming is inciting this fear in the whole crowd and the Wayang spectators are trying to flee!
The shadows are preventing you from seeing distinct shapes and they are veiling a potential threat that is forming.
*
The scenario assumes that you need more time to handle Eynemb. :-) So the enemy is only appearing at the end of round 5 so Figg can make the ritual roll for round 4 and 5. Fichead can take actions for round 3, 4, 5.

The young dwarf tries to shake is head clear. Cookies? Dark Voices? Reset Pword? Cookies?
Finally he seems to regain some consciousness and sees what is happening around him. Fichead rushes to the unconscious wayang and checks to make sure she is stable. Then picks up his thrown dagger. Round 3/4: check the wayang, cast stabilize if needed (probably not with Rossby dealing non-lethal). recover weapon.
Then he retrieves his dagger and moves back to the stage and feeling the impending threat casts another spell. A sapphire energy forms in front of him, shaped like a giant gem drawn in two dimensions.
Round 5: moves to stage, casts shield
SuzieDerkins continues aiding the show.

Marius roars at the fallen Eynemb, then controls himself as he sniffs at the air.
"Something is coming"
He moves back to where the others are conducting the ritual, long (long!) arms splayed out and claws extended, poised to protect them if necessary

4 Ritual Successes in round 5.
As the others prepare you see Figg, the Eidolon and Drelluandast continue the ritual with such expertise that it seems as if they themselves are creatures of shadow.
The innate magic of the ritual incorporates traces of Figg's and Drelluandast's lineage and those that remain are almost feeling how they push the darkness away.
Suddenly, you all see an entity resembling a large dire wolf appearing ... it has been exposed to the darkness' fell energy and was transformed by it.
kn planes to identify.
The power of the shadow magic casts a strange pall over the physical presence around you. But it seems as if the successful ritual is staggering the wolf!
The spark of life that sustains you is muffled, as if it struggles to remain viable against the dark energy that tries to imbue your souls. But the heroes of Minata whose masks you are wearing are aiding you!
*
The large shadowy wolf is the size of a horse, its fangs as large and sharp as knives. It is blending into the shadows and is almost vanishing sometimes!
It charges towards Figg and bites his hip so hard that the halfling crushes to the ground and is prone!

Bite: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (13) + 7 = 201d8 + 6 ⇒ (4) + 6 = 10

Marius and Rossby can make AoOs due to reach.

Marius viciously bites and claws the shadow wolf but his claws cannot penetrate its magical enforcement.
Crit confirmed because of charging! It has DR Marius.
@all: Still kn planes to identify if you want.
Rossby's attack of opportunity also hits because the wolf is out of balance due to the charge! And his second hit is vibrating through the large wolf's body and it is also shaken!
Figg is not able to continue the ritual anymore! On the ground he concentrates to enter the beast's mind but the darkness pushes him out!

Fichhead supports Marius with a spell!
@Fichhead/Marius: Magic Fang has effect on one natural weapon. I assume Fichhead chose one of the claws.
The ritual is now stopped if Drelluandast cannot take control but at least Fichhead's eidolon and Harjandi are supporting him!

Not knowing what the wolf creature is, Drelluandast focuses on keeping the ritual going. His hands tremble as he tries to direct the otherworldly forces without Figg's expert guidance, shaking loose a small rat that squeaks shrilly.
"Rattholomew! Help!"
The rat squeaks again.

Rossby moves behind Figg. Reaching down, he casts cure light wounds.
CLW: 1d8 + 2 ⇒ (3) + 2 = 5
Both the movement and the spell will provoke.
Figg

Sorry, I'm going to throw everything off here. I meant to add this into my last post but apparently didn't. Also, sorry to Rossby.
Shadows envelope Figg as the creature bites down at Figg. The shadows then coalesce showing the creature biting at Rossby instead.
TLDR: The damage on Figg is reduced by 8 and Rossby needs to make a Will save DC 16 or take the 8 damage.
Drelluandast

I would suggest putting that damage on Drelluandast instead, but unfortunately he's not within range. :(
Rattholomew Knowledge (planes) to Aid: 1d20 - 1 ⇒ (4) - 1 = 3
"No, I don't think that's right either..." Drelluandast mutters to his familiar as he continues concentrating on the ritual. Have to hurry before that thing eats Figg!
Knowledge (planes): 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (2) + 7 = 9
I don't like the idea of prolonging this, and Drelluandast doesn't seem as likely to need to make a saving throw as the folks being actively chewed on. Folio Reroll!

Well, hopefully we get some Aids?
| GM Nowruz |
Just before the large shadow wolf bites into Figg’s flesh the Mesmerist altruistically chooses his ally to take the beating.
Rossby is momentarily confused and feels the sharp teeth tearing into his body.
Figg is at 2/15 hp and can act!

Marius looks shocked that Fichead would think of him. He lowers his snout and he mutters.
"Thank you Fichead"
His natural attacks are all the same at the minute except the bite does more damage types
He tries out his newly enhanced bite, trying to draw this creatures attention away from Figg, but he finds it difficult to pierce its shadowy armour.

~ ~ Moonlight lives in the shadow ~ ~
Drelluandast and Fichead steer the ritual to a culmination and complete the ritual.
Suddenly, The demon drops to the ground, motionless.
The shadow creature is struck down by rays of moonlight, causing it to burn in monochrome fire.
Suddenly, you are left in complete blackness as darkness covers the entirety of the moon.
For those of you without the gift of darkvision, the darkness feels like an eternity.
You eventually make out the twinkling light of the stars in the sky, proving that you are not blind, but the experience is still disorienting.
Then, just as suddenly, the moon returns and with the return of its light, so returns the natural colors of the world.
You all hear a great cheer rise up from the direction of the village.
Several wayangs rush out of the hiding places between rocks and trees to help.
Eynemb is treated and kneels on the sands, weeping and murmuring, “I'm sorry!!“ over and over.
Figg

Figg strolls over to the blubbering Eynemb and pats him on the head. He then leans down and says, "All's well that ends well." Figg then whispers in Eynemb's ear,
