From the Ashes... A new king's day?

[Dracos]

Looking into the next room, he found a mostly empty floor of stone before him, lit by suddenly appearing torches which continued to spread along the walls, with the doorway opening on one end of it.  On his left, he could see a closed steel gate.  and, slowly illuminated by the spreading flames, three huge statues stood, each at a cardinal point.  Their eyes began to gleam as the torches came towards the last of them...the statues were that of huge knights, towering maybe tweleve feet in height with tremendous spears at their side.

"Let's go." Jan went up to the next floor as well. "We can admire the scenery later." He looked over the room, eyes focusing in on the door. "Best if we just tear down the door and move on fast."

He started towards the door.

[Dracos]

The statues across the room's eyes began to glow a wicked red, turning step by step to face the two as they entered the floor.

Viki was on the ladder at this point behind them, waiting for Jan to completely clear the way up, with mary taking up the rear.

Jan slammed against the door, but despite  his bulk and strength, the steel barrier did not as much as give...  a jab of pain hitting his back as one of the knights lashed out at his undefended rear side.

[Shukuen]

"Oh now you decide to move," Leets grumbled, and moved to draw the statues away from the others climbing up the ladders. "Hey, Lancalots! Are you compensating for something?" he taunted.

[Dracos]

one of them glowed slightly and moved  with rather dangerous speed towards Leets... fast as a car as it lifted its spear.

Dracos

[Shukuen]

Fast! Leets leaped to the side, rolling back to his feet as he lashed out with Masamune to strike the statue's spear.

[Dracos]

Masamune clanged against it, catching for a moment, before the statue's superior strength sent him flying back several paces.  The spear twirled and realigned, giving him but a half second to think.

[Olvelsper]

It seemed like these statues had to be destroyed before anything else could be done. The golem spun about, the piston in its arm ominously crashing out into position as the pressure began to gather in the punching arm.

With a hiss of steam, the arm was propelled like a missle towards the guardian attacking his back.

[Dracos]

The creature raised a shield, denting inward as his powerful fist slammed into it and sending it skidding back, damage clear but still standing.  A stab jabbed into his extended arm painfully by the other one, even as the third rushed towards leets...

Only to vanish and slam down on the one he hit before his eyes, the two entangled for the moment as they tried to slip free of each other.

Dracos

[Shukuen]

"Thanks for the assist, Big Jan!" Leets called back, retreating as he decided on a gamble. A safe distance away, he swiftly reached for the guide and looked up information on the golems, particularly weaknesses or information on how to placate them if he couldn't destroy them.

[Dracos]

OOC: 3, leets.  Cannot be effectively communicated.
IC:

Opening the book, Leets felt the strange disorientation take him once more, almost as if he was viewing the scene in split, seconds passing as he quickly found their information.

[Olvelsper]

Jan rushed the two stunned opponents, a bit shocked himself about how he was being hurt. No wonder they were called demons. Drawing strength in, he prepared his attack again.

With a loud clang, the piston in his arm began to draw in air to power the attack even as he launched another attack with his left arm at the standing golem.

[Shukuen]

His gamble had failed, yet Leets couldn't bring himself to entirely care, stumbling back as Jan's golem form charged once more, arming itself for another attack.

He burst into uncontrolled giggles as he tried to steady himself, his rationality and motor controls piecing themselves back together achingly slow. "Heheha, smashing good, Big J. Ho-ho-horses and men won't put them together again."

[Dracos]

It too raised its shield, driven back, even as it fieercely smashed him with knee shaking force.  He was stronger, but these things sure could hit.
