Tomb Vs Animeverse, Act 3 (Recovered)

[Dracos]

Falling from the door, Alita landed on the hard ground, feet first.  The door continued to rise, going into the ceiling as it revealed before her the large circular room, surrounded by gothic gargoyle claws and heads, all looking inwards.

Since mercury could scan the room from her present position she scanned the gargles for lifesigns.

"Alita, what's that on the ceiling?" she called out, not able to quite make it out from where she was.

[kpjam]

Alita looked upon the ceiling, trying to discern what Mercury was refering to.

[Dracos]

Mercury did not detect signs of life from them.

Fearless Leader

[Dracos]

Alita looked up to see a towering gargoyle hanging from the ceiling as some sort of ornament.  It had four powerful arms and it's face was vicious and hatefully demonic.  It's eyes seemed designed to give the impression of it looking around the room.

Responding to Mercury, Alita said, "That appears to be a statue of a gargoyle."

[thepanda]

Mercury moved to get a better look at the room by Alita.

[Merc]

Recca approached from behind as Alita spoke to Mercury, and stopped just close enough to get a decent view of the next room.

"Statues again? Wonder if these will react the same as the ones from earlier," he added to the conversation, wondering how they could avoid triggering whatever trap these gargoyles might hold.

While not horribly lacking, they still wouldn't have as much maneuvering room as they did outside if the statues came to life and attacked.

[Dracos]

Both Recca and Mercury saw the same room that Alita had seen.  The walls covered with gargoyles all around.

Noting the grim featured gargoyle on the roof, or more importantly its staring eyes, Mercury frowned.

"Does anyone have something loose I can throw? I have a feeling..."

"Several orc corpses remain in the previous room."

[thepanda]

"One of those would do just fine. If you don't mind, could you get one?"

[Merc]

"I think I know what you're thinking of. Once had to face against a statue that fired lasers upon sensing our motion," Recca said, remembering Kurei's mansion from just a few weeks back. "These gargoyles might be motion activated as well."

"Just remember the last set of statues though. While I somewhat doubt it, they might also be activated upon being hit with something rather than sensing motion in their path."

[thepanda]

"True on both accounts Recca-Kun," Mercury smiled slightly at the fire wielding boy.

"You see that gargoyles on the ceiling? I believe that to be the trigger for the trap, so to speak. However, I could be wrong."

[Figment]

Huitzil moved to retrieve another of the orc corpses and return with it.
