	There wasnâ€™t time to DA them but whether or not they were shadows, spectres, wights .... whatever ... they were still going down. So I was adjusting the colour of my Rainbow Spray, (my adapted Bolt of Starfire) after every round, in order to find the frequency they were most vulnerable too. Rowan was firing fire bolts as well while Bear, and the other golems, provided a protection wall. Unfortunately, one got around the wall.

	The three side rooms held a total of five bodies, all of which were covered in wax, and had died of asphyxiation. The other two wax vats, held three more victims being dipped in wax. One of them was Olivia and all three were unconscious but alive. In the back room, the body was identified, by the guards we called in, as the Madame Katherine, the candlemaker. She had died of blackthroat. The arcane circle was made out of blood and fat, and divinations showed that it had been used to create a portal to some sort of <s>dark</s> unseelie fae plane and activated by blood sacrifices. It had only been used once in the last ten weeks (a week ago) to bring in a creature. The sword that the light lurker had used was magical.

	Stairs led up to a trapdoor, which was trapped with magical lightning ~~â€“~~ as Pierre found out to his shock. Beyond it was living quarters, behind the shop. Under the bed we found the lockbox. Inside we found a journal, the ledger, two magical candles and some coinage. I couldnâ€™t see any irregularities in the ledger but the journal actually had instructions about making wax golems. Nothing about creating planar portals though.		Stairs led up to a trapdoor, which was trapped with magical lightning - as Pierre found out to his shock. Beyond it was living quarters, behind the shop. Under the bed we found the lockbox. Inside we found a journal, the ledger, two magical candles and some coinage. I couldnâ€™t see any irregularities in the ledger but the journal actually had instructions about making wax golems. Nothing about creating planar portals though.

	While the guards cleaned up the crime scene, we went off to test all the water wells in town. There were six of them and all of them tested negative for the cause of blackthroat. Our next stop was the manor house where we discovered that the fountain pond in the central garden was dark, murky, and magical da'ing as being contaminated with shadow magic. It was permanent and matched the curse component of black throat. While Veor and Rowan did their divinations, I ran a wizardâ€™s eye around the ground floor level of the manor, looking to see where the laird was hiding. No sign yet and we were concerned that the magic in the pond had been permeating the manor and being infused into the structure ~~â€“~~ which would make everyone inside paranoid. The divinations discovered that the water contained elemental shadow that was leaking in from somewhere. I tried tossing in a vial of holy water, which caused a small explosion, fortunately doing no damage.		While the guards cleaned up the crime scene, we went off to test all the water wells in town.

	The next morning, we went to see the guard captain, who was at home, along with his daughter. It took me two attempts but my curse removal, combined with Veorâ€™s rune healing, cured him of the blackthroat.

	Those skeletons were bested rather rapidly and I used my Wizardâ€™s Eye, combined with Mana Sight, even though my range was being reduced owing to the shadow-magic, to look into the room. What we could see were coffins as well as treasure and crumbling skeletons. The treasure was collected them we ascended the steps to the â€˜shadowâ€™ manor.

What we could see were coffins as well as treasure and crumbling skeletons. The treasure was collected them we ascended the steps to the â€˜shadowâ€™ manor.

	The first room I poked my â€˜eyeâ€™ into looked like a library with a large desk, books, bookshelves ~~â€“~~ and a female entity that poked my â€˜eyeâ€™ out. So Rowan disintegrated the door and Pierre leapt onto the table to attack. She retaliated by putting the lights out with a Rank 20 Darkness, so I put them back on again while the rest of the party went into the attack. The â€˜female entityâ€™ turned out to be a kobold but the GTN was subscripted with Greater Shadow.

The â€˜female entityâ€™ turned out to be a kobold but the GTN was subscripted with Greater Shadow.

	Once she was dealt to, we kept going around the ground floor poking my â€˜eyeâ€™ into rooms. We found a kobold and gave him directions to the basement. Another room was full of keys but I was just able to detect a magical aura. I was able to give Pierre directions to obtain the magical key. The following room was completely empty but the final room was large and had what looked like a nest with something moving in it. So Veor rune locked it.

The following room was completely empty but the final room was large and had what looked like a nest with something moving in it. So Veor rune locked it.

	Once we had completed the circuit of the outer rooms, from the circular corridor, we then started checking the inner rooms. We found the stairs to the top floor, a room containing a burning fire made out of black shadow, and a long room full of portraits. There was also an area in the center that had no entrances that we could find. Was it a void? An empty space. Or was there something in there and we had to figure a way in ~~â€“~~ perhaps from above.

	So up the stairs we went. There was a room with a feather bed, lots of blankets, and a skeletal occupant, Formally living, human male, well preserved. There was also a childâ€™s doll , with white hair and grey skin that Pierre claimed. A second bedroom had all of itâ€™s surfaces covered in writing which I described as â€˜cursiveâ€™, writing with a curse in it. There was another male human skeleton in here as well.
