Katia's strategy worked better than she could have expected. The shadows, now seemingly ignoring the gnome altogether, rushed forward in a veritable wave of darkness. As soon as one was within striking distance, she released the ball of radiant energy she was holding, sending it blasting towards one of the shadows that was ringed in holy light from Wick's earlier magic.

Her radiant blast was flanked by three arcane ones from the gnome as several of the shadows dissipated. [color=ed1c24]"Nice shooting, Wiz!"[/color] Katia called out as the enemies fell. Whatever these things were, it seemed that they were perhaps soulless, as no soul crystals appeared to fall from them. The revelation made Katia feel a little better about taking them out. If these dark forms had no soul, then they were likely either creations by something sinister or had lost ownership of their souls previously. This was assuming, of course, that her intuition and the knowledge of her friends were correct. 

Either way, this battle was more important than pointless musings. As the shadows had little hope of reaching her without gaining some intelligence first, Katia instead focused on taking down thosethat had surrounded Haemar and Thea. Not that her friends were incapable of protecting themselves, but Katia hoped to dispose of these formless masses of darkness posthaste so they could converse with the first being who spoke their tongue that the group had encountered thus far.

From her unhindered view on the rooftop, Katia held her stance, sending wave after wave after wave of ki energy at the shadows. Perhaps these weren't the most accurate attacks she had ever performed, but in Katia's defense, she was still leaarning this maneuver. Or perhaps it was the somewhat excessive flair she tossed into the attacks, sending one ball of ki behind her back towards a foe, then the next with her arms raised overhead and a foot lifted from the ground as if in a praying mantis pose, and the last with a leap and a twirl, sending the bolt of energy downwards with a flying kick. In any case, she was not exceptionally worried about the danger in this fight. Not until the shadows developed ladder technology, at least.
