[color=6ecff6](Narrator Note: Normally the potion which bolsters strength would have worn off the round it was consumed without magic duration augmentor skill, but because the use is creative I think I’ll allow rule of cool, also while not relevant in this instance just becareful because using skills that are flavored a magic abilities require focus to move and cast same time, but because Silus stayed stationary and didn’t move feet this round it’s a non issue in this case imo)[/color] Alaerin did feel that the window was quite small for him to act, as he could already feel the strength boost that he got from the potion was not something that was going to stick around forever, the feeling already starting to leave him by the time that he was skidding over, and pushing over the remains of the blue helmeted golem. The remains made a loud grinding sound against the hallway, thankfully Alaerin managed to avoid triggering any more redstone trap tiles from what his party and himself could tell. It started out okay, but the closer he got and pushed the more and more he strained and the less progress happened, just as thankfully by the time he felt the potion effects fully leave him, he had just managed to get a good portion of it between Silus and Francis just before one of the pillars made contact with the golem’s body and cracked where it struck. By the time Alaerin made his way to the pillar and raised another ward of electrical energy which had a physicality too it, the barrier helped to redistribute some of the weight which he felt pressing down on him pretty quickly and it was feeling overwhelming in short order not much of the potion left, but before the situation could become much more dangerous, Von Mackstein’s infantry units had opened fire with explosive rounds once again which rung out in the halls causing sizable chunks of the pillar to explode off creating dust in the space, which induced some coughing in Alaerin, but it meant that his barrier allowed for the now smaller chunks of stone to slide off, the energy searing some of their surfaces a bit as the energy crackled. This was because with the golem’s body bracing one of the pillars, it allowed for the line Fusiliers to open fire on the remaining more immediately harmful pillars with greater intensity, breaking them up into pieces as well, thankfully they aimed with great accuracy and immediacy at receiving their order, these combinations of events making the synergy of the party’s response effective to the traps. Silus threw his splash potion even while grappled, it made the deed a bit harder but he managed, in part thanks because he didn’t move from the ground where he stood. The splash potion landed near AnoYi. AnoYi felt the red gaseous potion go over him and it only made him feel..a bit better, healing F wasn’t the most potent for the type of damage he had just taken, but it was enough to stabilize and stop him from losing consciousness even if the site where he was hit still hurt a good deal when all was said and done, but he was still able to rush forward after taking a recovery action. When he slashed at the ghostly hand something strange happened.. Von Mackstein moved across the battlefield and also attacked at the ghostly arm with his sword, instead of what one might expect, both AnoYi and Mackstein’s blades cutting through the arms like they had physicality soon after pained yell filled the area, as ghostly strands attempted to stitch what was cut back together. The shrieking sound only became louder when Francis started to bite one of the arms that was on him, after peppering and salting it, there was physicality behind it and he could taste a most unusual earthy flavor which was very savory, the salt and the pepper..maybe adding something nice to it.

WHAT’S WRONG WITH YOU?!”[/color] The raspy voice called out, the part where Francis bit did break off, bestowing..a strange energy taste. And once the dust had settled from the pillars being destroyed a strange four armed looking short skeletal person came out from behind one of the pillar walls in the distance. Their eye sockets glowing a strange green that was similar to the ghostly aura of the arms which were now retreating from Silus and Francis after two had been cut down a third bitten, all of them ungrappling, and pulling back. Their four arms stopped glowing green at the hands as they had been. [color=7bcdc8]“If It wasn’t apparent, you aren’t wanted here so just get out of here already!”[/color] They exclaimed with an annoyed tone. [color=7bcdc8]“Do you have any idea how long it took to build those golems?! A longer time than it took you to break them I can assure you! And these pillars were works of art!”[/color] The skeleton continued to rant some.
