I'm here to report that my shadow theory game is a resounding success. The players are scared of the unknown, and think carefully before every move.

The latest session was a climax to the arc, with them holed up with backup in a military fort vs untol hordes of high level enemies. Despite the near-constant use of explosives, they were blindsided by the green lighting coming at them in the end and a huge mob welled up. That plus the eleos that came down as the lightning's herald (They're level 3 by the way) sent the running.
