Anton circles the shadow swinging his q-staff. We can see the staff slice through the space occupied by the shadow, momentarily displacing it before it reforms in the air in front of you. 

Scar rushes forth and smashes his sword through the mobile darkness.  To your barbarian sensibilities, it isn't very satisfying. There is no blood, no sound, not even the feeling of your blade hitting bone. 

 

(OOC: I'm reading those as half damage due to resistance, correct?  The description kinda comes across like total misses/mitigation, so just checking.)

sorry yes, they are half damage to resistances. It's hard to describe cutting a ghost you know?

(Totally cool, just don't wanna keep swinging at it if I'm not getting any traction!)

Cass aims over Scar's shoulder at the shadow.

Attack: 4 Damage: 16

Seeing how little impact the others' weapons are having on the shadows, Geth opts not to use his crossbow, instead summoning a Cleric of Lathander to assault the creepy shadows with the divine light of the God of Dawn (or at least distract them for a bit)!

Arianrhod also attempts to distract them on Boh's behalf.

"Don't worry, my friend. I got your back!"Obsben shouts, pulls up his pants, and then dashes forth willingly into reach of the closest shadow as if to hold the line with the Cleric of Lathander. "Alright ya creepiers! I got a pocket full of sunshine, and I ain't afraid to use it!" Obsben then actually digs into his pocket, pulling out a mote of concentrated light(Dex 12 or take 2 radiant damage), and makes to fling it at the most weakened looking shadow. 

Cassius looses his bolt but the amorphous, fluid like shadow easily dodges the missile.  The two shadows, 7, 13, see the cleric of Lathander. Only one reacts to it's presence. 

The mote of holy light speeds from Obsben's hand. 3, striking the northern shadow. The creature seems to shimmer for a moment before being consumed in a flash of light, the air before Scar now clear. 

The remaining shadow tries to engulf Anton in its gloomy folds. Attack: 11 Damage: 8 and lose 4 points of STR.

Anton feels the incorporeal cold fill his body as his very life force is being drained. 

Just to clarify, the shadow is still next to anton, not inside of him. Correct? 

Anton throws up a little in his mouth.

"Uhh, guys, this could be going better.  Ow."

Yes, the shadow is still in the space north of Anton. I wouldn't  let the shadow enter Anton without consent.

NO MEANS NO!

“Let’s finish this...”

I close the distance to the shadow and strike as the shadow gets distracted by Ariahnrod

Attack: 16 Damage: 19

Scar will once again take a swing with his greatsword at the nearest Shadow, growling in frustration.

Reckless Greatsword: Attack: 24 Damage: 10

Nice!  Pretty sure that'll finish it off, but just in case:

Attack: 25 Damage: 14

"Thanks Boh.  I need to rest, that thing did something unpleasant to me."

(OOC: I think I need a long rest.  I have no hit die to spend and I'm at 9/24 hp.  I'm down 8 str as well, but that'd come back on a short rest.)

(OOC: But maybe not under the statue with the glowing red eyes.  Just sayin...)

 I drop my backpack with my supplies, because it got to heavy for me.

“Does anyone else feel like those shadows were guarding something?” Then i start to search behind the statue if i can find anything. (perception 20)

While searching i keep talking: “I see two options, we could patch up Scar and Anton with some divine blessings and press on after we recover our strength, or we take a whole night sleep. If we make camp for the night, i would suggest to send Arihanrod with a message back to Oakhurst, if posible,  to inform them that we are ok and I would also use the time to scout ahead while you rest. But i agree, this room doesn’t look save, i would suggest the one where we found the snakes earlier.”

A few dicerolls in case i am to bussy to post:

Bho rushes forth sinking his weapon into the miasma of darkness. Scar massive sword cuts through the shadowy air and the shadow begins to dissipate, melting back into the shadowfell. 

During Bho's investigation he finds a loose stone in the wall behind the statue. Removing the stone reveals a nook behind it containing 28 gold and two flasks of alchemist's fire. 

Those of you who can speak Draconic can read the inscription on the magic circle beneath the statues gaze.

 “Let the sorcerous power illuminate my spirit.” 

I will cover Bho's scouting expedition after the decision has been made on the resting situation. 

"How are we on divine blessings, Obsben?" Geth asks. "The two of you look terrible," he says to Anton and Scar. "More than usual, I mean. I'm not sure that whatever god the halfling has recently started praying to is going to help you like that. Perhaps you should get some sleep. I agree with Boh that the fire snake room would be a good spot."

If Boh is planning to forego the rest and scout, Geth will cast invisibility on Boh at the start, and then grab a short rest when he returns to recover the spell slot.

OoC: Is our employer expecting us back at a particular time? Thinking about Boh's suggestion to send them a message vs keeping Arianrhod here with us.
