R1T20: Rezah moves into the secret shrine.

R1T19: Teofilo flies into the room beyond. He shouts out: "Three shadow mastiffs. Evil, extraplanar outsiders. They are prodigiously strong and hardy, but rather dull-witted. They are popular bound guardians for sites hidden from the sun. Which tells me what might work best against them!"

He is heard casting a spell, and Erima sees a flash of light from in the room.

R1T16: "I concur!" shouts the Scribe so those outside can hear. "Their bay can be heard for 300' and strikes fear into lesser people. They can blend into the shadows of anything other than total darkness or actual daylight, though, so get ready for a longer fight."

R1T15-14: It is very possible that The Scribe's comments regarding "lesser people" was rather insensitive. Fallon drops her sword in pure panic and flies north back up the way you came. Lilim follows her, likewise terrifed. Erima finds herself alone with no ally in sight.

R1T13: Erima, what do you do?
