Between the combined might of sword and spell, the last guardian of the darkness fell and disappeared. It collapsed to the ground with a metallic chunk, its "flesh" having evaporated into smoke and its set of heavy chain, shield and blade soon followed, drifting away. All of it having become nothing once more, a flurry of sparkling magic raced around the aasimar and her greatsword, just past her while the gnome shouted something oddly magical. The projectiles smacked clean into the small fiend, bits of glittery silver dancing on the earth before their elven wizard set down upon it with an added strike to finish the foe...

Then all was quiet again in the town. Not a single unusual sound to be heard, just as there was an absence of sound to be expected. No mooing of cows, clucking of chickens, bleating of sheep - not even the cry or laughter of children. Just eerily empty, to which the gnome noticed as he lifted the brim of his hat, looking one way up the dirt path and the other way back to the gate. He sighed and shook his head before brushing the back of his palm against it; he then put away a ring upon his finger into his large robe's deep pockets.

"Not good... we need to go to the [i]Hall[/i] right away. The shadows are getting more restless it seems! Every day more bold, so bold as to be out in dawn now!" Birbin's bright eyes shot up to the sun rising still upon the mountain.

The burning, warm orb appeared fixed, almost as though it were not to move over many, many hours to come. This the survivors of Turyn knew, how long their day had been before, but this? This did not bode well for their adventure through the town, to which their guide apparently announced there after.

"Trouble probably won't be far, so expect more of the bad guys!"

[hider=Effects]
Thea and Wick defeat the remaining [i]Shadow Soldier[/i], allowing Birbin the opportunity to finish the last [i]Shadow[/i] off with a casting of a magic barrage. The skirmish has ended and the heroes once again have succeeded. They receive 425 Experience Points.

All players must again roll initiative so that if combat does break out, it may begin immediately.
