Shadeweaver Part 1 - The Unquiet Night

Dark, humanoid shapes can be seen peering from around trees and darting from cover to cover from the corner of your eye. When you turn to face the being, you find nothing but wind and a feeling of dread.

So it begins

Narrative
The Trials have begun. Murderous shadows mill about Jastrey.

[WHAT DO I SEE]
A humanoid shadow approaches you with unmistakable violent intent.
Scene Notes
Place the Cauldron as a Spawn Point. Can be cleared with "LIGHT", "CONJURE", "CALL FIRE", "COMMUNE SPIRIT", or "COMMUNE CORPSE". It functions in all other ways as a Spawn Point. Do this three times, moving the Spawn Point each time.

THE SHADOWS:
You see through all Concealment (call "Seek").
You cannot enter areas of bright light alone.
You have no Body and no Spirit.
You are IMMUNE TO ALL EFFECTS AND DAMAGE. If a player shines an IN PLAY light at you, or hits you with "LIGHT", "CONJURE", or "CALL FIRE" when you are not "Fleshmelded", you are instantly SLAIN.
You may "Self, Fleshmeld" with a player, gaining "Vanish" as long as you stay within arm’s length of them, to enter areas of bright light.
You are immune to light while "Fleshmelded", but may take no other actions.
You may perform a "10-Count, Melee, SLAY" on players alone in the dark.
Concealment does not prevent the SLAY. "Phase" prevents the SLAY.
