Acid Splash. Even if they're as immune to magic as a golem, that head should feel the acid.

Permalink

The head is unharmed by acid. Its eyes light up with a baleful glow and it leaps off of the statue. Metal legs and claws extend beneath it. A green bolt of energy launches from its eyes and slams into Tencednil's chest. Nothing seems to happen to her.

Two more heads wake up on pillars further back.

Permalink

If they have ranged attacks of some sort, she needs to prevent them from shooting her allies. Constructs also aren't known for incredible thinking, so illusions might work well on them.

Glance backwards. She will try her new second-circle Silent Image variant, projecting an image of the room as it appeared when they came in on a tapestry which she places halfway through the room, between the first head and the other two. That has at least a chance to distract them.

Dazzling Blade for Tomas, and she will move to put the statue between her and this head.

Permalink

The second head moves at startling speed right through the illusory tapestry. It spots Tencednil and sends a green bolt of energy into her chest. Nothing seems to happen to her.

Permalink

Yanor steps back a few paces. Bless.

Permalink

Tomas discharges the dazzling blade and slams his rapier into the head. It cracks. His weapon was much more effective against this foe than against the gold construct.

Permalink

The third head sprints down the hallway and sends a bolt of green energy flying into Tencednil. Nothing seems to happen to her.

Permalink

Julen steps forward a few paces and carves the head into pieces with three powerful strikes.

Permalink

The first head sends a bolt of green energy at Julen. It washes over him. Nothing seems to happen.

Permalink

She drops concentration on the tapestry-thing, it doesn't seem to have helped.

...and it apparently does not immediately vanish! That is entirely worth the extra circle. Minor Image, probably? Ten seconds or so without her focus, in that case.

Anyway, these things are short. How would they like an illusory Deeper Darkness up to right about their eye level, covering the ground? That should let everyone see them just fine, while blocking the heads from seeing anything useful unless they climb back up onto the statues. Which they might, but hopefully it will help. "Spell C to block their vision!"

Permalink

Yanor whacks the first head with his walking stick. It doesn't seem harmed at all.

Permalink

Tomas skewers the first head with his rapier. It's marble face crumbles and the metal inside is revealed. That strike was very damaging.

Permalink

The third head scuttles up the wall out of the darkness and sends a bolt of green energy at Tencednil. Nothing seems to happen to her.

Permalink

Julen smashes the first head to pieces with four perfect strikes. It crumbles to broken parts.

Permalink

Drop her focus on the darkness, it has done its job. And... she has nothing she can actually do here. Crossbow out and take a shot?

Permalink

The crossbow bolt embeds into one of the head's glowing eyes. Ouch.

Permalink

As good as she could expect. Julen and Tomas should be able to finish this.

Permalink

Yanor whacks the head with his walking stick. Its cracks grow larger from the impact.

Permalink

Tomas jams his rapier into one of those cracks. They grow wider yet.

Permalink

The head scuttles away—

Permalink

—opening itself up to an attack. He shatters the marble facing with his rapier.

Permalink

The almost broken face climbs of the wall and sends a bolt of green energy at Tomas.

Permalink

He freezes suddenly.

Permalink

Julen runs after the head and breaks it against the wall with a single swing. It collapses to the ground.

Permalink

Tomas is still immobilized.
