Stroke multiple shapes in Kinetic.js

I'm trying to group several objects (RegularPolygons) together and stroke them (final group not individuals). Similar problem might be: you have shapes of individual states and you want to stroke central Europe.

I was trying to use Group for that purpose, but I can't stroke Group. I also can't stroke Layer. I wanted to get points of my shapes to create one new big shape, but I can't get points. I was googling and found that maybe Util.extend might help me but I haven't found that in docs and I don't fully understand how it works. So how to do that?

Since regular polygons all have a centerpoint, you can apply a faux-stroke by creating a background clone of each polygon that is scaled slightly larger than the original.

Here's how to automatically apply a faux-stroke to any group full of regular polygons:

function shadow(group){
    var scale=1.1;
    var clones=[];
    var children=group.getChildren();
    children.each(function(child){
        var clone=child.clone();
        clone.setScale({x:scale,y:scale});
        clone.setFill("black");
        clones.push(clone);
    });
    for(var i=0;i<clones.length;i++){
        group.add(clones[i]);
        clones[i].moveToBottom();
    }
    layer.draw();
}

        }
        layer.draw();
    }


    $("#myButton").click(function(){
        shadow(group);
    });

}); // end $(function(){});
</script>       
</head>
<body>
    <button id="myButton">Outline the regular polygon</button>
