The nymph darts back even further, her whip cracking at the new aggressive arm, though this is more of a defensive reflex than an aggressive hit like before. A reminder that this bee stings. Her real focus at the moment is to get directly in front of or behind any valuable pieces of art in this room that Tellysandra would be loathe to lose. The kind of thing that might make the golem hesitate before swinging. It's a test really, because if the golem swings anyways, then Ilpholin's learned something and destroyed something Telly loved in the process. And if the golem doesn't, then her defensive options grow considerably.

She hefts her spear high and, with a billowing flap of those creaking wings, launches herself at the construct. This time she tries to sever the shorter arm that's just emerged, the one that's now shaking Anika back and forth. She lifts her spear and, whirling it like a baton, whips the blade at the outstretched limb. The blade seems to extend to accompany her intent, becoming a long slashing edge.

The golem doesn't seem to have any calms about destroying one of the displays as Ilpholin attempts to dodge behind it. But as the blade goes right through the protective shield around it Ilpholin might note that within a split-second that the object within the case, a ornamental black dagger in this case, suddenly disappears in a tiny burst of light just like the security doors had earlier.

Then of course its a matter of dodging the blade itself as it comes for her in the cloud of shattered glass and metal which made up the display. Since the arm does not allow Ilpholin to rest even for a moment. Like the fire which made it up it is relentless and comes at her with the energy of a burning inferno.

Meanwhile, Tina narrowly manages to avoid being flattened against the floor by the enormous sword and is just in time to sever the new arm which has appeared as it can't move away quickly enough while being held down by Anika.

However, it's more accurate to say that the new arm retreats back into the construct once it has been severed. All the flames beyond the point where she cut it just goes out like a snuffed out candle, only leaving the arm blade and armored fist that held it behind.

Then the first pair of arms have raised the sword again and makes for a long sweeping motion across the floor where both Tina and Anika are located. Hoping to catch at least one of them within its swing. It would be far easier to jump or fly over it as its far too long to dodge in any other direction than up or perhaps down if you have the time to flatten yourself against the floor that much.

Which Anika cannot.

Instead, she turns into a falcon and flies up.

However, as this happens the new arm emerges once more but in a new form. It comes out like a long flame whip to attempting to ensnare the druid as she changes forms.
