Sorena desperately tried to reform her defenses, feeling the lifeblood drain out of her even as she encased herself in forge iron. She did not know what was happening when the pulse of divine magic struck her, she'd rarely tasted such magics before. Yet she could feel the vigor and vitality restored to her limbs at its touch. She brought up her floating shield, only to have her summoned iron smashed to rusty shards by the massive sword. She staggered, her life flashing before her eyes, but Thura's magic had kept her alive. Blinking dully through the pain and the blood in her eyes, she did the whole thing again, reforming the shattered metal and wrapping herself in it. She wavered, but she did not fall, instead focusing her intent into another blunt strike of ferromancy.
Part of the statue chips off as Sorena, inspired by the blessing by Thura and flanking with Mac, strikes into the animated creature.
Mac watches in alarm as the clay guardian lays into Sorena, dealing her a heavy blow and fully expecting her to fall. But she stands tall regardless and retaliates instead! Spurred on by her success, Mac himself bashes at the statue.
Then he pauses just for a moment and, instead of swinging again, intones the incantation that the glade's Leshys taught him "Baum. Fällt!"
Immediately a small tree appears next to the statue, and with a series of ominous creaks, falls over on it.
Mac hits the statue with his nunchucks, then summons a tree. The tree falls, and the statue does its best to dodge out of the way, but it still lands on the foot of the construct, breaking off a small part of it.
Sweet Tooth saw the stress lines appear as her allies struck the statue. She aimed her knife towards them, hoping the statue would not turn its weapons on her!
Hitting the weak spots proved difficult, and the thing avoided her strikes!
Rather evasive and hard to hit, the statue evades attempts to hit it.
Banana growls in frustration as his blows fail to make any notable impact on the statue.
"This is growing frustrating..."
His eyes rove over the construct, and he starts recalling the wisdom of the elder hunters. Simply overwhelming some of their prey was not an option.
"If swarming and overwhelming does not work, we must dismantle it. Tear away its tools. And I know of one way to make that easier."
Banana aims his next strike low, going for the legs.
"Come on, everybody, let's do this for the anadi! For the Magaambaya!"
His last exclamation is laced with just a hint of arcane magic, giving everyone a tiny little boost.
The statue catches his staff, and uses it to unbalance Banana, causing him to fall prone. However, his words rally everyone, including the anadi, who finally realize that they have something they can do. All three of them chant and make a flinging motion at the statue. Nine darts of force fly out and strike the creature.
An awkward flex of her hand sent a wave of force surging into Omalara's bow. She gave a sharp whistle and pointed to the statue. "Amosgarn, irit!" The statue was bloodless, of course, but it still had eyes. Perhaps dislodging dust would have the same effect. Two more arrows followed her companion into the fray.
The first arrow strikes it in the head, toppling the statue.
Thura casts another healing spell on Sorena. This one is a bit weaker, but she uses the 'momentum' of this spell to cast an offensive one against the enemy.
It falls, body crackling with energy from Thuras lightning arc, shattering into pieces as it hits the ground.
