Even once she had tired, Aria had the distinct sense that Rose could have gone far, far,<em>far</em>longer. Hmmm....perhaps she ought pick up magics of fatigue-forestalling if she could find them back in Brightwater, she reflected with a delivish grin.<br/><br/>After a few minutes to catch her breath, the tiefling indicated that she was ready - more than ready;<em>most</em>invigorated and with<em>quite</em>high morale - to deal with the golems before they snooped around the rest of the keep and risked simultaneously alerting any other sentries.<br/><br/>She agreed to Rose's plan attack, leaving the shifter in the middle while she squeezed around or under the legs of one of the golems to attack from its far side.<br/><br/>When they teleported in after activating their blink rings and illusory items  Aria dashed at the nearer golem and threw herself flat to the wall hoping to skirt to its far side....then gasped breathlessly as she simply stopped short, having underestimated the friction a the wall tapestry against her clothes, her momentum gone.<br/><br/>Inches before the statue, she made a gambit to take advantage of the constructs' slow reflexes by way of magic. Hopping alongisde one of the oversized elf-woman statues and clicking both bootheels and bracers, Aria gained an almost visual sense of the natural cleavage and potential fault lines of almost all stone. Gritting her teeth, the tiefling chiseled her kukri tips a intuited places. She felt the metal ring in her hands under each blow which struck stone, and for the moment the impacts left only tiny gouges hardly more damaging-looking than<br/>writing upon a stone tablet. She saw little fissures radiate out from the points of impact. The golem had scarcely begun to react to their presence and move forth as its body split like the ground amidst violent earthquakes. It toppled and cracked into several pieces, sending marble dust into the air.<br/><br/><br/>per PM, Rose positioned so that the golems have to move through her theatened area to reach her. Also positioned so Rose herself is in FA or 5+'FA range of both golems, and charge distance of the west one. (Am guessing she's using Large size?) Also positioned Rose so that Aria could take a relative position within 5'+FA range (they know the golems' positions from their chase of the vampire, or at least can guess them, and indeed the golems haven't moved since).<br/><br/>Floor 2<br/><span class="bbc_font" style="font-family: courier;"><br/>                ~ ~ <br/>              ~ ~ ~ ~ <br/>            ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~<br/>X X X X X X X X - - X X X X X X X X   1        <br/>X . . . .
