A sharp shriek from Dixon jerked Rayne awake. It was the middle of the night; the sky overhead was partially obscured by wisps of drifting clouds, black against the starry canvas, the moon alternately peering through or being shrouded behind them. Thanks to her low-light vision, though, the half-elf could see as clear as day. Sitting up, she saw that the griffon was being attacked by a ghostly shadowy figure, its features all dark and indistinguishable, vaguely humanoid but whose shape shifted and flowed in ways no living body could survive. This close to the Blighted Woods, the simplest explanation was a Shadow that had strayed into her camp.<br/><br/>But Rayne should have paid more attention to her own situation...<br/><br/><div class="spoiler_container"><div class="spoiler_header" onclick="hideSecond (this);" role="button">Perception check, sentimental -2 penalty applies</div><div class="spoiler_body">23 or higher: Rayne spotted a second Shadow, blending in almost perfectly in the shadows of the night, trying to sneak up on her.<br/>22 or lower: Without warning Rayne felt a pair of hands grabbing her chest! Too late she saw the Shadow that had snuck up on her. Even after its touch was gone, there was a residual heat in her bosom that left her wanting more, deep down... and more practically, left her feeling weaker than before, with 3 Strength damage.<br/></div></div><br/><br/>Rayne got a look up close at the Shadow attacking her, but there wasn't much to see. It was like a... shadow, if a shadow could be peeled off the surface it was cast upon and made to move, with the only defining feature being its slightly blurred silhouette, and none too well defined at that. And just as an actual shadow's shape could be distorted depending on the angle of the light, so did this Shadow's body and limbs elongate and compress unnaturally as it moved.<br/><br/><div class="spoiler_container"><div class="spoiler_header" onclick="hideSecond (this);" role="button">Initiative</div><div class="spoiler_body">13 or higher: Rayne reacted quickly, seizing the moment before giving the Shadow another chance to act.<br/>12 or lower: Rayne reacted too slowly - the Shadow's leg stretched out towards her, but instead of a kick it passed through her skirt as though it wasn't there and rubbed her through her panties. Leaving an unnatural warmth between her legs and her knees weak, it sapped away at the archer's will and ability to resist, dealing 4 Strength damage.<br/><br/>Rayne's starbow is at hand, but she counts as being prone.<br/></div></div><br/><br/>A Shadow was normally a foe far below Rayne's level, but in the dead of night, with the element of surprise, and another of its compatriots attacking Dixon at the same time, this was far from a fair fight!<br/><br/><div class="spoiler_container"><div class="spoiler_header" onclick="hideSecond (this);" role="button">Shadow</div><div class="spoiler_body">AC 15<br/>Incorporeal (http://www.d20pfsrd.com/bestiary/rules-for-monsters/universal-monster-rules#TOC-Incorporeal-Ex-) (immune to critical hits), Undead<br/></div></div>
