The magic darts find purchase and its form wavers slightly but still remains, flowing and flickering with the torch light.
Shadow 1 moves up to Gregor also, reaching an arm out and a black mist comes from its palm and penetrates Gregors body- Attack: 18 necrotic Damage: 11 and your str score (if hit) is reduced by 3

Chubby is going to make his move in a moment. Since i'm leaving to do an errand, i'll post mine now.
Crispy shrieks a high pitched yelp as the shadow rounds the corner and attacks The Chubb. Making sure not to get in Chubby's way, she makes her two attacks:
KABOOM! That sneak attack!! She then quickly squats down to avoid any light or fire or god knows what that will come from Nia, winking at her from behind.

OOC: I'm back. Car wash. And of course, the second I pulled away, it started raining....such is life!
Seeing S3 vaporize in a puff of smoke in front of him, Chubby weakly chuckles (after having his STR drained by 3...), turns to the right, lets out a second reverberating belch ("There's MY puff of smoke!"), and attacks S4:
Attack: 23 Damage: 8 (magical battleaxe)
Chubby then casually strolls over to stand next to Gregor (who appears to be 20' away, within Chubby's 25' range).
Not sure how to reflect it in Chubby's online character sheet, but his STR has been drained 3, so he's currently at STR = 16 (from his normal 19). I adjusted his attack and damage bonuses accordingly.
Yeah, anything relying on str gets changed also, so thanks for that chubbs!
Gregor, I also reckon str drain will also be halved to a minimum of 1 while you're raging.
You can move through an allies space with no penalty if they're willing. Additionally, because it all happens so fast, Crispy you can use your movement now if you wish to.

Chubby rounds the corner and seeing Liam cornered, arcs his axe through the shadow, hearing a whispering scream and it vanishes in a cloud of black smog.
Shadow 5 moves upwards towards Chubby after seeing him dispel his shadowy accomplice by morphing into the shadows on the roof, then flickering into view right next to the Chubster. Its cold hand attempt to wrap around your neck;
Attack: 22 Necrotic Damage: 13 if hit, str score reduced by 4
Holy $%#@, these shadows hit HARD! Chubby is already down to 15 hit points and we're not even through the first round yet...and his STR is down 5! In another round, he's going to resemble Liam.... ;-)

"Not much to tell." Nia began as she jumped over the crouching sasspot and walked to the end of the corridor. "Grew up in a brothel with my mother, it -" she broke off to speak the incantation for Scorching Ray sending one beam at a different shadow until all three had been unleashed. "- burned down one night and I traveled on my own till I met Liam on the way to Waterdeep. He's taken care of me ever since."

(S4 is dead, so I'll say that first attack hits S6)
Three beams of heat hit two of the shadows, setting them ablaze slightly, but one of them managed to flicker and dodge out of the way.
Shadow 2 moves up to Nia, after hugging the wall and passing over it, reaching out a hand;
Attack: 23 Damage: 10 if hit, reduces str score by 4
Shadow 6, which is attempting to smother Gregor, goes to wrap its hand around his neck again- Attack: 20 Necrotic Damage: 9 reducing STR score by 3 (all halved if hit)
Liam, your time to shine! Four of these creepy things still exist. S6's movement has slowed and looks tired- S1 and S5 still move with energy and S2 looks fine also.
Well, illuminating the place would be a lot easier if I actually had a spell that did that...
With the threat of S4 now dissipating in the chamber's still air, Liam moves back over next to Nia and casts another Lv2 Magic Missile, directing two darts at S6 since it appears weakened and two darts at S2 as it harries Nia.
That's 9 force damage to S6, and 4 force damage to S2.
"Nia," he blurts out quickly after releasing the arcane projectiles, "do you have any way to light up the room?"
Crispy will sprint to the square south of S2, slipping through Nia as not to provoke an attack of opportunity from S5.
"A brothel, eh?" She mentions as she rapidly slinks past her, "I busted one of those once! That was a while ago, though. My second year on the force. You might wanna listen to your boy and show us the ligGhggGgTtTt!" She sings like an opera singer at the last word, brandishing her short swords and readying to smite S2 and move down when it's her turn.
"We can be pals. Chubby and I are pals! We work well together. He knows me very well. I'm just a little broken inside, that's all. I have a low tolerance for...things." She whispers.

Gregor is up!
Initiative is:

Updated Map:
"CoS" Rumble- Tabaxi Shadow Monk
Gregor will rage up, and swing his axe at shadow 6: 13
(I won’t even roll damage, but all damadge from this point on is (that isn’t psychic) is cut by half due to bear totem rage effect)
(For record keeping: Gregor is at 36 Health and 13 Strength Score)
The map image disappeared!
Last to know and first to be blamed...
As a free action, can I regret my life choices?
Chubby: "Liam! Nia! Nothing scares away a shadow more than a little light! Illumination, please?!"

"Or his rancid body odor!" Crispy chimes in, bouncing on the balls of her feet, ready for some action.
Shadow 3 rounds the corner, and faces Chubby. It's jaw hyper extends and it feels like your breath is getting sucked from your body!
Attack: 24 Damage: 15 strength score reduced by: 3
Chubby, you're up! Crispy, get ready :)
Initiative is:
s6-21, s4- 19, Liam- 16, s1- 14, Gregor- 14, s3- 14, Chubby- 12, Crispy- 9, s5- 7, Nia- 6, s2-

Crispy shrieks a high pitched yelp as the shadow rounds the corner and attacks The Chubb. Making sure not to get in Chubby's way, she makes her two attacks:
Sneak Attack: Attack: 12 Damage: 10
Offhand: Attack: 19 Damage: 4
KABOOM! That sneak attack!! She then quickly squats down to avoid any light or fire or god knows what that will come from Nia, winking at her from behind.
Yes, it has moved from where it is on that map (s3) and is now 5' in front of Chubby
Edit: dayum dat sneak attack. Chubby, I don't mind if you want to go after Crispy in this instance, because shadow3 has evaporated.

If I need to move so Nia can pass let me know. Otherwise she can vault over me, I squat low low low.

Yeah you guys are in a pinch! All I'll say is that Chubby's suggestion to Liam before was a good one.

Shadow 6 ripples, then fades to nothing as the darts slam into it from different angles.
Shadow 1 makes an attempt at Gregor: Attack: 15 Damage: Unable to parse dice roll. necrotic. (Take half due to rage)
Gregor is up! Followed by Chubby then Crispy. Only shadows 1, 5 and 2 remain.
