Imagination
You want to get home and away from this place as soon as possible. You feel with your sword and new abilities along with Melcar's help you should be able to take care of them.
"Let's destroy the Shadows!" you say.
"Alright, but let me look for that spell first, because after we've destroyed the Shadows, we're going to want to cast the portal as soon as possible. Shouldn't take me too long."
"Okay, what about Stinky?"
"Stinky? He won't be of any help! He'll probably be hiding in the house the whole time! I'll go look for that spell, you just get yourself prepared, because this won't be easy."
You take Melcar's advice and begin to get yourself in a proper frame of mind; in fact you spend a day doing this since Melcar has a really hard time finding anything in his disorganized lab. Stinky is constantly in a state of panic, and gibbering about the Shadows trying to get in, making it harder for you to keep yourself calm.
Eventually Melcar comes back up from his lab.
"Found it; alright let's get rid of these Shadows quickly. I'm going to dispel the barrier."
Melcar makes a few chanting noises and the barrier goes down where upon you hear the Shadows howling in excitement and start bashing their way in, and in the case of some already get in through the upstairs window.
You and Melcar begin to fight the Shadows, while Stinky goes off to hide, though it doesn't do him much go since the Shadows at this point are intent on not just getting you, but now everyone in the house, eventually all of his running and hiding attempts fail as you see him being dragged off by a few Shadows, you attempt to stop them, but nearly get yourself captured in the process.
This ordeal is very tiring as the Shadows seem to be more numerous than you thought. Melcar eventually exhausts his spell power and is reduced to beating the Shadows with a magic wand. You briefly worry about him being able to cast the portal spell, but as it turns out, that will be the least of your worries.
A shorter Shadow suddenly jumps on your back; it begins to taunt you as it attempts to wrestle you down. The voice is very familiarÂ…
"YOU did this to me! Now I'll do what I wanted to do in the first place! Throw you to the Nightmare Tyrant!" Chargrum hisses in his new Shadow form.
While you manage to get him off and strike him down, Chargrum was able to distract you long enough for other Shadows to overwhelm you, and your sword is separated from you. The blackness has now enveloped you and your worry has now become terror and you can't think straight. You call out for Melcar to help, but he too has been overwhelmed.
The sinister laugh now fills your mind, paralyzing it, and soon all is forever shadows when you are taken directly to the Nightmare Tyrant.
