"What, like, trying to do a wide battering ram?"

She continues trying it out and seeing how it might work.

Elleira begins work on overloading her lightsaber's powercell. This is a relatively simple task, provided you have both the knowledge and a simple multitool. Which she does.

Blue looks around for something that might be useful as a weapon.

And then Thario comes up to the same floor, finally. "I've blocked off the stairwell as best I can – not sure it'll help because water but should at least slow them down."

Elleira finishes her modifications, and turns the saber on. It doesn't explode immediately, which means she was successful. The blade's hum has transformed to a lower-pitched hiss, and jagged sparks crackle up and down the length of it. She switches it back off.

"Good."

Maya looks over the edge of the building to check on the progress of the water creatures, but jumps back after a moment, then proceeds to run back in through the door, shutting it behind her– just as a blob of water jumps up onto the balcony.

And then the rain, previously only falling very lightly, increases in intensity.

Blue returns with a spear, moving rather quickly when he notices Maya.

"My blade should be hot enough to flash-vaporize any of the creatures it comes in contact with. I can only get about fifteen minutes in this mode before the powercell is permanently damaged. If you can herd the water into one spot, that would be helpful."

Maya goes to look for something so she can block the door, because there is a blob out there that is possibly going to try to attack them.

… Thario decides to go check upstairs to see that nothing is going to come down and attack them.

"Yeah," says Blue. "I'll try that with my– spear." Ugh.

Elleira- waits. Not much point in conducting an offensive while it's raining.

Not really.

It takes a couple of minutes and then she'll hear some noises from the stairwell.

She goes to investigate.

Sloshing noises, something battering against the door coming from below.

Thario is still not back down, but presumably nothing has got him upstairs since nothing's coming down to attack them.

Her daemon jumps up on top of one of the exhibits in the center of the room, well away from the floor.

The door remains some distance from the center of the room, so perhaps she won't be investigating too closely.

That's probably fortunate, though, since it seems to be bending inwards.

Apparently water can do quite some damage.

While she can take the separation pains for brief periods, it is altogether desirable that she not have to. Elleira retreats to the position that offers the best compromise between visibility and comfort. And braces.

And then there's a gap between the door and the doorframe, and a bit of water slides through it. Apparently the snake has got in.

A bunny, also made of water, is not far behind it.

Maya flings the snake backwards against the door when she sees it.

Apparently her telekinesis has some range and power.

Elleira flicks her saber on and tosses it, guiding it with the Force so that it nicks the snake-thing where it's pinned.

And the snake… does in fact vaporize, as expected.

The waterbunny hops closer.

Then they can hear noises coming down the steps, and Thario saying, "I've sealed off the bits upstairs but I don't—"

He promptly stops when he's about halfway down the flight of stairs to their current floor and he sees the bunny.

Unfortunately there doesn't seem to be any way through for him.

Well, it worked on the snake...

She yanks the saber in a path back to her, intersecting the bunny along the way.

The bunny gets vaporized when it touched the lightsaber.

And then another bunny bounces through the door, along with two friends, and also another snake.
