After striking the shadow creature, Syrathic watched as it ran from the light and disappeared into the shadows once again. "This is a fairly intelligent creature. It knows how to use its advantages. I may have to wait for back up."

The elf could hear the battle raging on behind him. The sound of a lion's roar added to the cries of pain from the Grimlocks as they fell. "We must be winning," he thought. "My companions certainly know their way around a battle, it seems. I only need to worry about keeping myself from harm until they've finished their business. Easy enough... I hope."

He put his back to the wall once more, eliminating the chance of being attacked in the back. His fingers excitedly rubbed the hilts of the blades he held as the adrenaline rush of battle filled him. But he remained calm and did not charge ahead in the darkness. "I cannot see the beast normally, so it would do me no good to let that thing draw me into a place where it has the advantage. I need to try and turn the tables."

The elf began to inch toward the light, but as he moved, he tried to use his ability to see illusions. It was something he had learned in his early days, and it had been useful during his days living in the forests. He wasn't incredibly skillful, but it had been helpful many times before. "It may not help, but it gives me a chance to be prepared if the creature tries to attack me from the shadows again." Remembering that his companions may not know that there was this beast ahaed of them, and with the battle seemingly approaching a conclusion, the elf called out, "There's a creature of shadow ahead of us. I cannot see it, as it is able to hide in the shadows and does not radiate heat. It's smart enough to stay away from the light, so I won't be able to draw it closer. When someone has the opportunity, give me a hand here. I'll fend it off until then."

ooc: Cyril, Syrathic has a low middle range chance of detecting illusions, so if this skill is able to reveal the creature, I'll let you decide if he's successful. Dantes, looks like your help will be required.

Thanks for the compliment, Larry. I really appreciate it.

Also, I forgot to compliment mistral on the choice of spell. It was really amusing! [img]smile.gif[/img]
