[i]Theodore's shot, though quite accurate, struck the titan before them to almost no effect; not a flinch, not a wince, not an expression of emotion other than its prior seething determination, spoken soundlessly through purple eyes of fire. No doubt that the blow did harm it, even a blind man could have seen that in his soul, as bits of black, wispy essence drifted off into the void sky above, but the being did not seem remotely hindered. Instead, it shifted its attention to the aasimar scholar who hurled a spinning disk of light, the same of which crashed into it with a burst of energy and exploded in a glinting aura, only to be followed by a few wild orbs of vibrant cyan that hovered about the place it laid claim to.

One might think the great figure more wounded between all this, but its sole response was to again pan its hand out before them and shudder the air with its mocking below; a voice from the beyond.

More of the darkness that ate away at the edges of this island of Turyn sprung to life, creeping across the ground until they solidified into shape again. Even more shadows joined the fray, another five it would seem, just as they had before. To their fortune however, these added foes began a small ways away - at the base of the stairs and hurdled past the elven wizard and his collection of inky, evil assailants. Flightily moving past the crossbowman as well, moving like a gang of fleeting hares, they set about after Wick and Cesar, leaping at them, but not without challenge.

Theodore's shortsword left its sheath and struck out at one near the tail end of their disorganized trail, his crossbow in the other hand and made a mark. Though the blow was true, the speed of the small beast saved it from being felled. 

By very narrow margin, no more than a few hairs it would seem, the giant being then swung wide with one free hand and missed Katia as she sprung up to strike it; her staff connecting with a dull, soundless thud to its unmoving exterior and her claws tearing at solidified nothingness. Its enormity gave such weight with the blow, that had she not have avoided it, it might have leveled her clean into the stonework below. Passing by the monk, the leviathan's fist crashed into the ground and rocked the entirety of the island; bits of stone and dust flew off into the darkness and the retaliation was at hand...

Circling around the wizard, fleet upon their feet and dancing too and fro, the shadows' claws struck blow after blow against him, but the power of the light - the same he invoked from within - protected him time and time again. Each slash they made against him, raking at his ghostly armor, they only exploded into vibrant light and burned away. It wasn't until the last swing made against him that the elf realized they had defeated his magical defense. "Defeat" being a strong word, as the spell had absorbed the worst they could throw at him and burnt them away to nothingness. Magic was a funny thing like that.

The other shadows, those that had for the most part avoided the Templar's wrath for the time being, attacked first Wick; despite her disadvantage against them, she managed to block and fend off her attacks, being scraped by their otherworldly claws only once. The bard meanwhile, brandishing his sword in defense, stepped back and out from the majority of the beasts' strikes. Fortune still favoring him, he too found only a knick upon him that gave an icy chill through his body.[/i]

The [i]Dark Leviathan[/i] uses its [i]Titanic Reach[/i] ability to make an opportunity attack against Katia, narrowly missing her when she closed in through its threatened area. Because of another of its abilities, it cannot take an action this turn. It still has vulnerability to radiant damage until Wick's next turn.

The northern most [i]Shadow[/i] attacking Haemar critically strikes him for 2 points of slashing damage. It then instantly explodes from his [i]Illuminating Shroud[/i] spell and is destroyed. The next [i]Shadow[/i] misses, while the most southern one strikes Haemar as well for 1 point of slashing; it too is destroyed. The western [i]Shadow[/i] also scores a critical hit for 2 slashing damage, but is burned away by the light. Haemar's [i]Illuminating Shroud[/i] spell ends and he is hit one last time for 1 point of slashing damage.

The five new [i]Shadows[/i] summoned will rush past Theodore, provoking an opportunity attack. These new creatures are in order from north to south, first to last. The ranger made his attack against the fourth one in order, hitting it for 4 piercing damage but not destroying it.

Two of these new [i]Shadows[/i] will besiege Wick, gaining advantage against her because she is prone. By sheer chance, only one blow strikes her from the both of them, dealing 1 point of slashing damage. The other three attack Cesar, with only one managing to strike him. Cesar suffers 1 point of slashing damage.
