The dolls getting the drop on the group
the dolls go to attack Bump and Brand, them being near the front
3 of the dolls attack Brand with their tiny kitchen knives, the one missing an arm misses drastically losing its knife.
the other two go after Bump, one pushes the other out of the way causes the slash to miss wildly, its hit however leaves andeep and dangerous cut
Bump starts his attack on the doll that attacked him. He enters Crane Style and fights defensively, flurrying with his madu and tonfa.
Brand rolls and scrambles into position where he can flank one of the dolls.
Brand pops up from his new position bringing both daggers down on one of the evil dolls.
"I think I'm gonna hit them with rocks. You know, mix things up a little."
The woman leans forward ever-so-slightly and exhales with a deep, long breath. Her arms and fingers outstretched low and wide. As she does this earthen matter arises from the ground, some rising past her head, yet more attaching itself to Maria. She's quickly encased in nearly black stone head to toe, smooth and almost metallic in texture. A full helm with a visor and downward sloping plates covering this distinguish this protective suit of armor from simple rocks.
Maria swipes her right hand from left to right fully extended as a jagged set of rocks streak through the air in unison at the doll she struck already.
Rosalyn takes a 5' step back, from the door way.
This was all getting a bit silly, well lets heat things up"
She point her hand and a fire ball shoot out into the mass of dolls.
"Stop attacking us dolls or I will burn this place down around you little tiny dolly heads. DO I MAKE MY SELF CLEAR!"
She says.
With all your attacks together three of the creepy dolls are blasted away into bits.
The remaining two dolls swing at the nearest target, Brand. There tiny kitchen knives slicing the goblin once again
Two remain, PC's are up
Maria's footfalls sound like metal slamming onto stone. she stomps forward a couple of feet to smack down another possessed doll with a similar gesture.
Both Bump and Shiva try to simply step sideways, if possible, to unleash their full attacks.
Brand scrambles to a new spot with flank and does the poke pome.
Tugs off her spear and jabs at one of the last dolls.
Saying grumpily
"Go adventuring they say, fight dragons and Evil Orcs they say, no one said anything about fighting teeny-tinny dolls!!"
She thrusts at the doll and if she squawkers it hefts it into a wall.
The last two dolls are shattered, leaving you alone in the building with shattered porcelain and a dead body.
Good. Continue? Maria turns to the others, still clad in fully body obscuring armor.
"Any one hurt she asks"
I'm a little hurt. - says Bump - But probably nothing that requires more than the simplest of healing effects. I think Brand was hurt too.
"I've been better."
"Babies." Maria scoffs, yet it takes her an uncharacteristic amount of time to get herself ready to proceed.
"well if you all come close"
She then channels
"how about now"
Brand looks over the broken dolls.
"They're dolls Brand. Saw you playing with one back home, right?" Maria asks with an undetectable smile under her new helmet. She directs her voice to the new kids.
Looks about at the mess,
"Well then if everyone is well and fit, what next?"
"Murderous magic dolls . . . maybe ah there filled with um magic stuff."
"Your doll wasn't as creepy. Probably not evil."
She makes her way out of the room through the other side unless someone proposes a different idea.
A little more recovered, Bump limits himself to wait for the others for a moment, until Maria starts moving. At that point, he signs to his animal companion and they both follow the Human.

Brand see's a silvery glimmering buried between the corpse and the fungus. The room appears to be open and safe now, the ground is littered with shards of sharp porecelain shards of glass, and bits of stone floor and rubble from age. The thick stench of decay is all over the room, drastically different from the outside which smells of the fresh forest.
"Shiny."
Brand investigates the glimmer.
Maria is just making her way through the exit when she sees her speech impared friend investigate the skeleton. "Don't touch that. You know where it's been."
after investigating the glimmer, you see it's a silvery key. what do you do?
"Its a key."
He looks up as if to ask permission.
"Do you want me to smash it?" Maria says in a deadpan as she puts her hand on her hip. She probably isn't serious.
Brand reaches over to pick up the key, the fungi wiggles a bit, but otherwise nothing happens.
Brand leaps away from the fungi "Whoa . . um see no problems."
"So we have a key now all we need is a lock"
She says, while trying to keep clean and away form the mess all around.
"Cool." Maria nods to the door for the others to continue.
continuing out the door back into the ruined village. Thing's are quiet, and your destination is straight ahead.
You find a set of temple ruins, made of large golden stones. It looks abandoned and dark.
The grass is pressed down, a blood trail leads into it.
