Lizuga Manescu Lizuga winces as she hears grinding stone and the sounds of combat. She drops her pack and whirls around, standing side by side with Justin and lashing out instinctively. As her hammer cracks against the stone, she lets out a burst of healing light that washes over Justin, and her allies' weapon flicker with a slight glow for a moment. 5' step to J20, Move: ready shield, free: draw weapon, standard: Curate's Strike at L22 attack - (1d20+8)[24], dam - (1d12+5)[15]+(1d6)[1].

Iris

"Thanks Justin. Yes, I'm okay. Let's not go back that way." She half-grins trying to shrug off the awkward situation as she flicks off the last of the critters with his help. As she enters the next chamber her eyes widen in delight a the sight of the statues.

"This craftsmanship is outstanding. The folk who built this place had some true talent. Just look at how the edges have been brought to such a fine point....whoa!" Iris stumbles back, stunned as the sculpted columns burst into action.

She draws her bow and fires, hoping to distract them from her beleagured friend.

Lizuga hits one of animated statues with her hammer, almost breaking the hammer in process, but still causing a noticeabe dent in fine stonework for 11 damage. Justin tries to step away from the center of attention and hits another statue for 12 and 14 damage, his swords ringing and dinging, but withstanding the hits quite well. Iris shoots twice, hits twice, but only does a barely noticiable dent for 1 damage. Lebwen attacks a statue, but only hits once and for zero effect. "They are probably guarding the entrance! We can fall back into the passage to have a narrow front!" shouts Adalbert from the back.

Having much more targets now, the statue seem to attack them all with no coordination. Luzuga gets a nasty cut for 9 damage, but everyone else evades the attacks.

Lizuga conducts more healing energy and encourages the fighters even as she slowly retreats back towards the tunnel. Justin fights on and stands his ground. He stabs the nearest construct for 11 damage, shattering it, and then lunges at the next, dealing it 6 damage. So far, the swords are ringing and dinging, but are holding just fine. Lebwen hits the construct nearest to him for 7 damage and makes a step back towards the tunnel. Iris keeps shooting. Her first arrow leaves a visible dent in the marble and the second shot shatters both the arrow and the statue outright.

Two remaining statues make their attacks against Justin, but the young man is too nimble to be easily hit.

Lizuga cures most of Justin's wounds and blasts a statue for moderate 6 damage. Justin hits the other hard, shattering it into pieces of stone. Lebwen ducks under the stone guisarme and hits the last remaining statue with the sword. That does no damage to either. Iris shoots two more arrows, but with no more lucky shots, only leaves a minor dent for 2 damage. The statue swings her glaive at Justin, and despite the man's best efforts at evading even hits, but, thanks to Lizuga's preventative healing, only inflicts a flesh wound for 9 damage.

Lizuga goes around the statue to flank it. Without a shield to block the statue's long weapon, she barely evades a blow to the chest. She then hits the statue for 10 damage and got it distracted enough for Justin to hit it for 11 more damage. Iris lets fly two more arrows. The first bounces off without leaving a dent. The second does leave a dent, but just a small one for 3 damage. Lebwen then hits the statue too. His sword does not like it, but neither does the statue. With a hit for 5 damage the statue's weapon breaks off and the statue freezes in place. This seems to be the last one. That said, there are more perfectly whole statues standing around the room and supporting the ceiling, but, at the moment, they don't seem like attacking you.

Justin's experiment with throwing down a stone fragment proves quite interesting. First, the shaft leading down is dark, even with dancing lights directly over it. The stone disappears into this blackness about 10 feet down the shaft. Second, Justin hears no sound of it ever hitting the bottom.

[DrK]

Justin Kaijitsu As the light is swallowed up Justin, looks to Iris and Lebwen... "So magical stuff?" he asks, "Guess should have expected it like that really." Undeterred he shrugs, "Didn't hear that stone so either must be dulled in some way way or its a really long way. Who's got rope? We can tie some round one of these statues and lower someone down"

"Well let's start with something easy, light up something Iris so we can see here" Lebwen says, and once we have another light source with us, he sends the dancing lights down as far as he can before it disappears or goes to the limit of the spell. "This should also tell us if it opens up or has some sort of magic going on."
