  Deeper Into The City
Everyone fails to connect, except Cinder. Your blade seems to cut into the large humanoid, although the skin is thicker than you expected; like cutting into a block of clay.

Dave FoO lights a torch, which provides dim lighting in the room. It's enough to see that the enormous shadow had grabbed Mike the zombie, but throws him to one side like a doll. Cinder slices the creature again, only to be grabbed around the torso. In a smooth motion, the shadow man turns and stalks out of the room and down the street, its long legs making giant strides deeper into the city.

The shadow woman lowers her head.

You race out of the room into the rain and the dark. Looking back, you see that the woman has moved to the doorway, where she stands pointing down the street, but upwards. A momentary break in the cloud cover sends a bit of moonlight across the city, and in the gloom you see where she is pointing- a tall steeple, draped in webs, several blocks away. The direction the giant has taken Cinder.

Down the street you go, throwing caution to the wind. The giant has outpaced you, but you manage to get to the building the woman showed you. The massive front door is partially open, and devoid of webbing, but the rest of the building is covered in thick wet silk.

In you go.

It's not long before you find Cinder. He lies off to one side, apparently cast aside for whatever reason. (Cinder is at 0 hp.) The shadow giant stands motionless about ten yards away, perhaps staring at you. Out of the darkness, into your light, glides another human-sized figure much like the woman you saw earlier, although this one is more masculine and seems to be wearing thick robes, but the amorphous, ill-defined nature of the shadows makes it hard to tell. In any case, this figure is clearly more malicious, and begins to croak out the sounds of spellcasting, as the shadow giant stalks back towards you.

(The badgers are all gone by this point.)
