Uragum, still in rough shape, tries again to escape the spirit. He had the presence of mind though to heed Sylyra words. He stumbles through the image and feels slightly rejuvenated.
Uragum pulls away from the shadow enough to move through the healing spirit, recovering a fraction of strength, but enough to stay at arm's reach of the shadow as it chases him, with the help of an arrow from Hex that misses wide, but throws off its movement. Briny continues reaching into the semblance of its mind, trying to slowly dismantle it.
Sylyra scatters the shadow he is fighting with his staff. The being reforms, a pretense of its former self, wispy and barely assembled; not enough of itself together to bother Sylyra as it throws itself toward him again.
Round 5 Order: Shadows Players <=====
Placement: All combatants are within movement range. Hex is engaged in melee combat with a shadow. Sylyra is engaged in melee combat with a shadow. Uragum is engaged in melee combat with a shadow.
Health: The shadow attacking Sylyra is grievously wounded. The shadow attacking Uragum is wounded. The shadow attacking Hex is lightly wounded.
Uragum is severely wounded. Hex is lightly wounded. Briny is lightly wounded. Sylyra is lightly wounded.
Uagum doesn't seem to be able to do much against these beyond be the bait. He again scrambles away from the shadowed forms and moves through the healing spirit hoping to hang on just long enough to survive this.
One shadow scatters behind Sylyra's growl, dispersing with a slight hiss. The remaining pair seem to be exhausting their opponents, however. Hex is overtaken as she launches an arrow, which throws off her aim and further weakens her. Her legs feel suddenly like gelatin beneath the weight of her pack, refusing to obey her commands. Briny looks on in horror as she loses her grip on the mind of the other shadow, watching it pass through Uragum again as he moves through the healing spirit. Losing consciousness, and looking rail-thin and ghastly, Uragum falls.
Round 6 Order: Shadows Players <=====
Placement: All combatants are within movement range. Two shadows remain. Hex is engaged in melee combat with a shadow.
Health: The shadow attacking Uragum is wounded. The shadow attacking Hex is lightly wounded.
Uragum is unconscious and dying (0 successes, 0 failures). Hex is severely wounded. Briny is lightly wounded. Sylyra is lightly wounded.
OOC: Hex's STR score has fallen to the point that she is carrying more than her current capacity. Her movement speed is at 0 while holding her equipment (basically just assuming everything that's not a weapon or armor is stored within her backpack).
"No!" Sylyra yells after seeing Uragum collapse. He throws out his arm, and the healing spirit moves to hover over the prone form of Uragum. The elf then crosses to the shadow that has been attacking the wizard and swings his magicked staff at the fiend.
Attack: 14 Damage: 11 magical bludgeoning damage
Bonus: move healing spirit in the space Uragum occupies
This post has potentially manipulated dice roll results.
Hex drops to her knees as the shadow passes through her. She shrugs off her backpack as quickly as she can, pulling out a potion of healing and downing it. She grits her teeth through the pain and weakness, glaring up at the shadow and throwing the empty glass vial through it. "Come on now, you can do better than that."
Briny reaches out for the mind fragment of the shadow attacking Urugam once again, hoping that every little bit counts. "Just hang in there, don't you go anywhere yet!" She yells at the fallen Goliath.
Mind sliver: INT save Vs DC 13 or take 4 Psychic damage and subtract 1d4 from your next saving throw before the end of my next turn.
Uragum, looks up at the shadow knowing he is inches from death. He stares it in the lifeless eyes and says, "Burn." He summons a flaming sphere behind the the shadow and slams it into its back.
Action cast flaming sphere behind shadow
Bonus action: move sphere into shadow prompting a 7 fire damage, dex 13 save for 1/2
OOC: Removed potion of healing from Hex's inventory.
Redirecting Briny and Uragum's attacks since Sylyra's attack destroys their intended target.
Uragum's eyes open. Clinging to consciousness, the goliath sees through blurred vision as Sylyra's staff scatters the shadow hovering above him, ready to take the rest of his life force. Rolling to the side, summoning what strength he has left, he summons a flaming sphere opposite Hex, who buckles beneath the last remaining shadow's presence. Lifted somewhat by magical healing, the ranger barely has the strength of will to raise her bow. Her skin looks hollow and sunken, a discolored grey with only tinges of her usual hues. Briny assaults the creature's mind, and the flames of Uragum's sphere lick ineffectively at its dark form. It spitefully remains near Hex, beginning to waver and shimmer beneath the party's onslaught.

Sylyra doesn't dare allow himself to take joy in the dispatching of the second shadow. He narrows his eyes even more and hurries to the last shadow, swinging his staff again with a growl through his bared teeth. His white-blond hair flies around his uncovered head like a wet mop.
Attack: 13 Damage: 6 magical bludgeoning
The healing spirit is still hovering above Uragum and should bestow more healing upon him.
(Oh my god, i just saw Hex has a -4 strength modifier D:)
Assuming Sylyra managed to kill the shadow and there isn't any immediate danger around, Hex relaxes her body and just lays on the floor, softly groaning in pain and weakness.
Sylyra obliterates the shadow before Hex, allowing her to slump to the floor feeling unfathomably weak. With the shadows gone, the room seems to take on a brighter hue despite still being covered in darkness. Hex and Uragum barely have the strength to stand, let alone carry their equipment.
Area Description:
This room is littered with the ruined remains of bookshelves, desks, and other furniture. The ceiling is 15 feet high at the outer edges and vaults up to 30 feet high in the center of the room, which is itself an enormous square, 100 feet to a side. The toppled shelves extend 40 or so feet out from the walls (considered difficult terrain). The middle of the room is barren, but is blackened with the soot of century-old flames, and charred bones are strewn about.
A huge hole appears to have been blasted into the far wall. The ground there is littered with bricks and debris.
OOC: Each character has received 75 XP for defeating the shadows. Close call!
Sylyra's heavy breathing mingles with the sounds of the moans and groans as he stands, still grasping his magicked staff and looking as if he is going to tear into something else. Seconds tick by, and the elf finally fights to regain composure. The mystical flames that had engulfed his staff disappear, and he squares his shoulders. One hand smooths his tangled locks. The last of the healing spirit's power is used up on Uragum, and the druid turns as the glittering form winks out. Sylyra clears his throat, and he walks over to the goliath, kneeling down beside his friend. "Can you stand?" he asks, his usual confidence absent. "We need to get out of here."
Uragum struggles for a bit, unable to move much and then slides his arms out of his pack. His muscles, ached and seemed to have shrunk in on themselves. With great effort he gets himself to a standing position. "I can stand but I feel weak. Drained, like that time when my muscles atrophied after being bed ridden from multiple fractures in my youth..." He gave a ragged cough, winced and leaned on his friend a moment. "I'm sure with some food and rest, I'll back to slugging it out...a lot of food and a lot of rest."
