Assuming agreement she takes her position, bow at the ready, arrows arrayed in the sand next to her, point down to aid in efficiency.

Rakieth Anlec Rakieth looks at the beast and remembers details he once discussed in the pathfinder lodge. " Be wary of its claws, they will leave bleeding wounds. Its immune to most magics and can refelect effects back, but spells that shatter things will work on it very well and ice attuned spells can slow it down." Looking at the beach he nods to Iris. "I have a bow as well, so can join you on the shore, if someone can cast some light onto the platform we should be able to pelt it with arrows to either weaken or destroy it."

Instead of recovering maneuvers like a standard stalker, a vigilante must open his mind to the flow of battle and the inherent patterns therein as a full-round action. When he does so, he recovers a number of expended maneuvers equal to his vigilante initiation modifier (minimum 2), gains a +4 insight bonus to his AC for one round and can move up to to his speed during the action, provoking attacks of opportunity as normal. In addition, the next attack he makes this encounter adds his sneak attack damage if it hits, regardless of whether or not the target his flanked or flat-footed. Alternately, the vigilante can center his awareness and recover a single maneuver as a standard action.

Lizuga Manescu Lizuga joins Iris and Rakieth, and strings her own longbow. "Sarenrae bless our endeavour", she briefly intones. Mostly for show, for the newcomers. Mostly. If she has any doubt as to whether the Lady will be with her in this fight, she refuses to admit that to herself.

[u-b]

You do not live to see how Adalbert's cold would affect the golem. A hail of arrows, culminating in two nearly-perfect shots by Iris, sends a lot of pieces of glass scattering across the small island where it stood just a moment ago. You might be a bit surprised by how easily this is accomplished, but that seems to be it, at least as far as the golem is concerned. The motes of light do not react in any way.

[Erloas]

As the golem breaks into pieces Krusk says "Well that went better than expected. You must have almost destroyed it earlier. I am glad your friend is avenged. Now I guess we make our way over there and see what it was protecting." He stows his bow, pulls his sword out of the sand infront of him and starts to get the boat ready to go.

[DrK]

Rakieth Anlec Rakieth looks at the golem as it shatters and glances around, a whispered, "Didn't seem that difficult" before a louder "Well done, I agree, I am curious to see what it was guarding." Waiting to cross the the lake on the boat he allows his mind to drift and look for traces of arcane energy

Crossing the water on the boat taks some effort as the boat has only one pole and no oars, making it rather difficult to navigate in the deep waters around the small stone island. Having landed and moored the boat, you proceed to examine the stone circle. From the names of the places written around it in Thassilonian and accompanied instructions, also in Thassilonian, you have no doubt this once was a permanent teleportation circle leading to all those places. There is currently no trace of magic in it. You speculate that the reason for it is a large crack in the eastern part of the circle, which broke its continuity and caused it to lose some part of the writing. Nothing much seems to be of interest on this island, unless you want to take glass souvenirs.

[CasualViking]

Lizuga Manescu Lizuga wanders around the small beach, pensive and brooding. "Is this it? This... revenge.... feels hollow. It tastes like dust, nothing more". She deliberately grinds a shard of glass under her armored heel. "I'm glad we didn't kill the other guy. The mind-slave who murdered Lebwen. And me, for that matter. His name was... I don't care about his name. I don't refuse to care about him. I spared his life, and that is all the compassion I have to spare for him. Please, let him just fade". She shivers as she remembers the fatal blow. She rubs her hand across her armor, knowing full well that her flesh underneath has no trace of the injury. "Iris. Adalbert. Let's move on".

Rakieth Anlec The elf crouches on the small island and then looks at the others. "A shame it is broken and shattered, its something that would have fetched a fine price in value if it could be linked to a lost trove somewhere." At Lizuga's words he glances at the beautiful Azlanti. "You look disappointed. Did you not enjoy our vengeance or do you seek to venture further in?" By his tone its clear tha Rakieth desires to go further in.

Adalbert Hornwood Halfling Mage AC: 18 HP: 26/26 touch: 14, ff: 15, CMD: 13 Conditions: Anger +1, Mage Armor (4h), Longstrider (5h) Adalbert's anger does not subside, but he is not surprised. Even after an epic showdown with the glass golem he expected to feel satisfaction then the hollowness of all this, but even now the feeling of victory was stolen from him. He was not mad at his friends, but just annoyed their skills just fell that little bit short of saving Justin, and in some parts Lizuga. Continue we shall. Rakieth, may I ask you to scout ahead? Iris and I are capable lookouts but we are both not really made for combat up close and personal. If you require a spell to become invisible, say the word.

[Erloas]

Krusk picks up a piece about 8 inches long of the golem and says "It is amazing what can be done with some magic. It made quite the visual statement." He wraps it in some scraps and places it in his backpack.
"So the prisoner that killed your other friends was farther along and guarding an area that you didn't feel was wise to explore with three of you already dead... Let us head that way and see what other secrets are hidden here" Waiting for the others to decide who will scout ahead, he takes up the second spot in line after them.

[DrK]

Rakieth Anlec Lizuga points down the passage past the graves, "through there you say. Very well, don't hand too far back" He slings the bow back on his back and pulls off the strange contraption of chain and a blade and weight on each end. Walking in a strange swaying motion he slips into the shadows moving quietly ahead, content with the darkness as he searches through the vaults following the dircetions given by Adalbert

From the sandy beach, you walk the corridor to the room where some of you have fought the dhampir. It seems exactly as you left it and is totally not illuminated. If you have the means, you will see, beyond the open pair of doors leading out of this room, a row of marble pillars, each carved to resemble a beautiful woman and supporting the ceiling of a long curving hallway. The pillar closest to you seems to be missing its head. Do you want to walk the hallway? What about the lighting.

Instead of recovering maneuvers like a standard stalker, a vigilante must open his mind to the flow of battle and the inherent patterns therein as a full-round action. When he does so, he recovers a number of expended maneuvers equal to his vigilante initiation modifier (minimum 2), gains a +4 insight bonus to his AC for one round and can move up to to his speed during the action, provoking attacks of opportunity as normal. In addition, the next attack he makes this encounter adds his sneak attack damage if it hits, regardless of whether or not the target his flanked or flat-footed. Alternately, the vigilante can center his awareness and recover a single maneuver as a standard action.

Rakieth comes closer to a well-lit headless statue. The place where the head was missing on this one was not particularly clear-cut, but was not actually broken either. More like there was some storage space in the neck for... well, legs, as Rakieth notices on the heads of the next two statues that detach from the bodies and begin to move...

Some constructs, no doubt. Rakieth opines the rest of the statues would not animate, but he won't bet his life on that. The claws of these two "heads" seem pretty sharp and the elf does not like the glowing eyes either.

=> Rakieth, Iris, Adalbert (any order)
