A magical detection revealed illusion and conjuration magic - he'd identify it as very similar to a Shadow Conjuration spell, in fact. As was the succubus that had been dealt with.<br/><br/>This night... passes peacefully. In the morning, while nightmares are reported, everyone states that they all abruptly ended - except for Anke, who stated that she confronted the bird directly, screwing up her courage and throwing her dagger directly into its chest. If anything, she seemed bothered that she did that, but the effect seems to have worked, as she awoke holding an enormous, black feather in her hand, that radiated the same magic as the other items.<br/><br/>Further good news from the front lines - the army had tracked down the giants, and engaged them in battle. It was a brutal fight, and while the army brought the giants down, casualties were higher than expected. Still, they were able to quell the threat, and would begin their return.
