Emily chants twice, yet the magic doesn't fade. Not relenting, she reaches up and a lance of pure sunlight gathers in her hand. With a cry she hurls at the gathering image, striking it dead on.

305 damage total.

The sunburst sinks into the shadow, not escaping. Instead it begins to illuminate it from within, gathering - and with a violent SNAP, the circle shatters and the shadow is gone.

"I got it!" Emily calls, "It stopped!"

[Iron Dragoon]

"Well now, that's certainly an achievement. You stopped her from some sort of manifestation. Be proud, Emily. Let's check for any other nasty surprises. And loot everything."

[Anastasia]

Jarem exhales slowly, "We got lucky."

Dolmaya says, "We got good, instead."

Perception, Alyssa.

[Iron Dragoon]

"We got both. We were lucky we didn't dally or get delayed. We were good enough to find the weakness and focus on it."

Perception (+3 if terrain bonus):

You can notice that the room's fairly spartan beyond this and several doors leading deeper in.

That and shadowy darkness is slowly leaking in from beneath those doors, spreading about the walls of the room.

[Iron Dragoon]

'Look at the shadows seeping in. Anyone have a daylight spell? I'm going to guess we'll find a runic circle in most of the rooms pulling shadows in. Let's go check them out and do what we can to stop this.'

[Anastasia]

'Quickly,' Emily agrees.

Quick question for you: Do you have anything like a daylight spell available as I go to check NPC spell lists?

[Iron Dragoon]

Solar Convex Focal is the only spell I have that's a Light spell. It's concentration.

[Anastasia]

There is a surprising dearth of light spells beyond sunlance and sunburst available. Someone can wish/miracle something, but you'd need to cover for miss chance and bear that in mind.

[Iron Dragoon]

Ianvasah. She doesn't magic blast, she shifts, so would probably be the best for it.

[Anastasia]

And druids are the one class that doesn't get wish or miracle.

[Iron Dragoon]

Jesus, uh... Emily is too dependent on magic... Jarem I guess.

[Anastasia]

"Red Lady, illuminate!" Jarem chants. The light is enough to keep the shadows from advancing in.

"This should do to at least hold them," Jarem says, "Let's go."

[Iron Dragoon]

'Quickly.'

Alyssa goes to the nearest room and checks the door.

Locked but nothing else. On tapping it with your skeleton key it opens, a dark hallway. The darkness fades from Jarem's glowing form, retreating back. In it, along with doors on both sides, several on each, are heaps of things, Barrels, saws, shovels, handaxes, picks and similar things.
