Larry Silverfall 13/13
Larry kept his back to the half-elf with the life-saving light. It was the only way he knew to keep himself alive. He had nothing else to protect himself with. Unless...
Vincent held the light high and the shdows fled to the darker corners, all except the big one. It had massed together forming a darkness that was deeper than the others. While the other shadows were more transparent, this one was thick enough to not be burned up completely by the light that shone upon it. It was in fact sacrificing itself for the benefit of it's brethren. It would take the shot at the light-holder and then the others would be able to attack. That is what it did. The giant shadow loomed over Vincent and struck at him, attempting to put out the painful light.
Larry saw the shadow slam into Vincent and he trembled with fear. He knew that sooner or later, they would figure out how to win. It was in their nature. Larry knew. He remembered. Suddenly a thought occurred to him, and he closed his eyes, falling into his memories. The answer was with him, somewhere in this darkness that was called his mind. He had to find it before Vincent and he fell to the shadows. The effort took Larry's strength and he slumped to the floor, seemingly unconscious.
The Shadows saw their bigger brother attack at the light and the light dwindled. The mass of the shadow that had attacked Vincent was enough to block some of the light from the others, and they again moved in to attack.
Larry searched through his dark mind, trying to find the way to control the shadows. On the way, he found somebody he was not expecting.
OOC>>>Vincent, you have taken 7hp cold damage.
