As you walk down the hallway the firefly lights flicker on the wall casting strange shadows that mock your movements. About halfway down the hall you see a more steady light outline the door in front of you, however there is something odd about the shadows on the wall. They are yours but not... just as you think it is a figment of your imagination Daventry, Ludolf and Klin's shadows break free from your control taking a paper thin but very real appearance.
Klin, Triäsa and Ludolf you are surprised by the attack and do not get a turn this round. Everyone else can act.
Gasping in surprise as the shadow lands between him and his friends, Pardot reaches his right hand out past his shield as a bits of star light glow from his fingers towards the shadow.
star beam con dc 15 or 6 radiant and dis on next attack.
Daventry spies the strange shadow just barely in time. Her blade shimmers out of existence for a mere second, dissolving a moment into starlight, as blue wisps of magic swirl from her shoulder down to her hand, forming a protective shield that concussively forces the grasping shadow from her.
Her sword reforming in her hand, Daventry makes a quick thrust at the opening offered by her shield, then follows up with a full attack, magic charged into the blade. "Beshaba's bust, watch for the shadows!"she shouts.
This post has potentially manipulated dice roll results.
Daventry's sword slices into the ethereal being twice in quick succession. As the second strike lands the shadow falls back into the wall and reattaches itself to Daventry's feet, defeated.
The remaining two shadows then lash out at the source of your power, trying to claim it for their own.
Shadow 3 tries to wrap it arms around Ludolf:
Attack: 5 Damage: 5 Necrotic Str Decreases by 1 on a hit.
Shadow 2, weakened by Pardot's Starlight, retaliates at the source of the brilliance.
Attack: 5 Damage: 3 Necrotic Str Decreases by 4 on a hit.

Ludolf uses the powers of his enlightened mind to push his attacking shadow away (Bonus action, telekinetic shove Str save 15) and then using his gray piercing eyes to blast the shadow with gray crackling eldritch force. (Eldritch blast: 18 Force: 15 )
Triäsa turns to see the shadow trying to assail Ludolf. She calls out an arcane word and motions with her hand, causing a glowing mote of pure magical energy to fly at the creature. (Attack: 7 Damage: 1 force)
Daventry sees no threat she can reach, so she releases her sword, allowing it to spin in place unaffected by Faerunian gravity. She summons forth a ball of starlight, cupping her hand to focus it to a radiant beam at the closest shadow, before grasping her blade once more.

The shadow is blasted squarely by Ludolf's eldritch magic, it's form wavers and weakens tremendously, you can see it struggle to keep hold of it's existence. You push your will back toward the creature but it manages to stand it's ground against your shove but as the shadow starts to regain it's composure Triäsa's magic strikes it draining the magic holding it together. The Shadow slinks back to the wall and attaches itself to Ludolf's feet.
The final shadow is again illuminated by starlight, this time from Daventry. It's mouth stretches' and elongates as if to scream but no sound comes out.
Klin and Pardot you are up.
@Pardot:
In the chaos you see the lights behind the closed door flicker with movement. You hear a rustling and commotion behind the door.
Seeing something flicker ahead of him, and knowing that the remaining shadow is weakened by starlight, Pardot dashes through everyone towards the door holding up his shield should he need it and pushing the door open to see what is behind, saying as he goes, "There's someone...thing... behind the door!"
dodge action. willing to risk the opportunity attack. halfling nimbleness allows me to move through everyone easily to reach the door.
The Shadow lashes out at you as you make you way to the door. It seems it will not give up the fight.

As you push on the door you find it barred and locked from the other side. A raspy voice calls back from the other side, "What is all the racket going on over there?! If you crazies seem to think you can break through here ya got another thing comin' I ain't lettin' the angry chantin' mob into me personal quarters."

Klin's attack strike the shadow. Imbued with a bit of magic his book staggers the creatures rather significantly His unarmed strikes do not seem to affect the creature as much as a beast of a more substantial nature the force is just enough to put the shadow down. It retreats back into the wall, defeated.
The narrow corridor regains an air of calm outside of the commotion on the other side of the northern door. Your shadows dance in the flickering light of fireflies but there is no further menace.
