Alaerin was quick to jump into a defensive position at the oncoming malicious wave of green energy which sprayed out from the Champion in the ring. His ward would soak up some cracking again looking moderately damaged as his electrical energy lit up the area, Von Mackstein joined with a united front their armor taking some searing damage as well but it held up, helping to absorb some of the blow.

AnoYi shared some helpful insight while his allies defended, that the altar throne or Gutou himself might be key to ending the battle early, thankfully for him shielded by his allies.

It wasn’t long before Von Mackstein’s order to fire rang out in the arena rounds striking the poor skeletons who couldn’t do much more other then fall over again and splatter into a green miasma, one even trying to take a swing at the  shot which echoed throughout the arena, whatever semblance of armor they had, ruined by the already earlier used explosive shots laughably inadequate for the more modern technology which Von Mackstein’s units were using.

The champion let out another roar at being shot, raising the axe over it’s head, energy began to gather rapidly as it looked like it was going to try go in for another devastating swing on the whole party, but before it could commit, the regular shot which had been targeting Gutou, landed true, striking the blackened skeleton in the Jaw, Gutou raised his hands up all at once..before suddenly the skeleton collapsed to the ground, the light in the arena faded all at once.

Just as soon as the skeleton crowd had been there, all of the bones began to retract rapidly from whence they came from. The only glow left in the arena itself the large overcharged crystal over head, and finally the dust began to settle in the sand stone area..

And then a rumbling sound could be heard, At the far wall of the arena a stone slab slid away from the wall, revealing a modest sized square sandstone room with a radiant glow, was revealed. Inside the room there were ornate swords, early ornate west empire and kingdom inspired bows, as well as some artifacts which were sitting atop pillars, There was a strange metal cube with writing on it, as well as what looked like might have been a container for a scroll.

 This time pillar hieroglyphics on each corner of the room depicted various celebrations, and times of wealth, prosperity and culture, beast people creating art, dining at tables, crafting valuable tools.

Off from the center however was the artifact which the group had gone through all of the effort to getting for the Faazi Merchant Guild, it was the jade flute, which seemed to match the sketch which they had recieved of it for refernce. It was a medium sized instrument gleaming, with a faint ethereal green miasama not unlike the one which Gutou and those who he summoned had given off. But it was carved intricately and beautifully into a dragon head shape, with yellowy gemstone inlays for the eyes, with gold ornamentation.

There were also a few more ornate serpent statues and a couple of lion statues  which flanked either side of the room, but they did not have spaces for more metal orbs, they were carved from stone and precioius metals, with some gemstone eye inlays as well.

AnoYi would notice some faint runic writing with a bit of a orangey glow against the back wall  of the room which was in a Beastial that he could sort of understand, it read roughly in a modern beastial equivalent 

[color=f7941d] “<By royal edict Those who have vanquished my trial even after my life hath past, May take from this room, what they have earned.>” [/color]
There appeared to be an ornate signature nearby the wording as if it were validating the statement with royal approval but it was more difficult to read.
