The new eagle flies in and forms right next to the golem. It tries like its predecessor to rip it apart.
|
The pathfinders follow through on attempting to take out the wax creature. They surround him with an array of attacks, slices, bashes, bites included! The monster is hurt, but not fallen.
The wax golem pulls back noticing he is surrounded, and attempts to take out the tengu this time. But his swings are way off, and Kahwen easily dodges it.
|
Angela steps up behind the eagle and tries to point out a good location for the next person to attack. "Nicely done, Hadza! That looked like it hurt! Now I think the knee joints on this thing are pretty easy to attack and might be great at causing it to fall. She takes her longspear and tries to edge in between the eagle and Ibona, showing how easily she can get her spear next to the wax golem's legs.
____________
The eagle sees most of the space available to fight the enemy is taken, so it flies around the outside of the room, hoping to catch the golem from the back.

Slippery little devil! Nigel advances forward again. He once again makes the movements of conjuration magic, but this time forms a ball of acid in his hand and throws it at the golem.
Nigel was too focused on dodging the obstacles and lost focus on the acid and ended up dropping the ball of acid before it was thrown.
|
Kahwen would feel sorry for their opponent, surrounded and being pounded by a group of dedicated Pathfinders, were he not fairly sure that the thing was not really alive and wasn't really feeling any pain.
"Haha - RAWK!" his triumphant cry when the thing misses him terribly turns into one of surprised dismay as he feels a rush of air as Hadza's hammer misses its target just as terribly and misses him by a much smaller margin.
Angela's advice gets lost in the chaos of combat but he is still in a good position with the eagle distracting their opponent. He waits for the perfect moment before striking, ironically finding the knees the softest target anyway.
|
|
Dark, Angela, Hadza, Nigel seem to have difficulty in finding the creatures anatomy. Ibona and Kahwen, with their blades slice through together and pull out a hefty chunk of wax! Meanwhile the eagle flies around to get to the other side.
Once more the golem tries to take a slug a Kahwen, but once more he also misses. He continues then to play the dancing game and moving away from the Pathfinders.
|
|
Angela moves around to the side, noting how nicely Kahwen targets the knees. "Nicely done Kahwen! See that is how you take out the things vulnerable points! Now I a thing if you target it's sword arm shoulder we might, just might be able to take him down!" She waits for the next person to take a melee attack, readying her spear to knock the sword around.

Angela calls it right, and Hadza swings right into the abdomen, smashing the wax golem into pieces. Splatter flies all over, creating a huge mess. But it's more than certain, the wax sculpture it once was will no longer be a threat to you.
Immediately walking up to the study, you find that the magical defenses Nigel Aldain referenced earlier, hinders you from making an advance into the study. The magic is incomprehensible to you and it is likely far beyond your means to dissolve the magical barriers. Perhaps it be best to secure the museum for the time being, priceless relics are being destroyed as you stand idly by!

"Huzzah!" Kahwen declares as the living wax statue is shattered. He doesn't even particularly mind that he has to wipe some of the thing off of his beak.
He is patently disappointed as it is discovered that getting into the door is beyond even the skilled abilities of the agents with exceptionl arcane knowledge.
Kahwen has little desire to fight the dogs, which are just animals doing their job and the relics ahead seem all too familiar and thus boring.
"To the garden companions!" he exclaims.

After a cross examination and assessment of the situation, the group decides the best course of action would be to assist within the museum heading straight to the main exhibition halls.
Under a sign that reads “The Shining Armory,” priceless Shining Crusade artifacts displayed on pedestals creak and move by some unseen force. Eerie light seems to dart between the objects while the din of a raging battle echoes throughout the chamber. The central feature is a low, artificial hill atop which stand two stuffed owlbears surrounded by shattered undead foes. Each of the beasts wears chainmail barding and an orange-and-black caparison depicting a stylized owlbear. A dead man dressed in furs lies on the floor before a suit of fullplate armor.
One of the banners fly around uncontrollably as you walk in.
You know for sure that a normal banner cannot move by himself. Even less when it is trying to attack you. One thing for sure, this animated object move like it was haunted. Like it is a part of the will of the Shining Crusade.

What does Kahwen do when faced with the tableau before him? What does he always do when he sees some sort of fascinating danger?
He stares in frank amazement with a bemused grin for a moment, then rushes into danger. He takes a circuitous path, giving the banner wide berth as he moves to get behind it. It's a path that's circuitous enough that he can't get close enough to actually strike.
|
|
The group takes a very tactical approach and moves around the banner creating the space to move in and attack with great effectiveness. Hadza attempts first blood with a strong swing, but an inaccurate one that hits nothing but the air. It's almost as if the banner was playing a game of bull with the human Barbarian. Dark, realising what the creature might be made of fires a blast of positive energy. It would seem to be effective, and causes the banner to weaken.

Angela squints at the banner, having a sneaking suspicion she'd she some just like it before. After a second, she realizes what it is, but by that time however, Ibona had already revealed that and everyone else had starting moving. She rushes to catch up, dropping her pack and grabbing her longspear, she rounds around the corner to see if she can try help someone.
On the other side of the table she takes a good look at the creatures movements. "Uhh, it's a banner? I'm guessing it will cut just as easily as any other banner. However I might be able to stretch it out so you can have an easier time of getting it to tear." With her longspear she tries to hook part of the banner.

"Just like that, Friend Angela!" Kahwen replies to her query.
Having seen the thing try to get Hadza he is relieved that it wasn't him since he didn't even know he was in danger.
He steps forward and takes a swing.
[ooc]Not sure if he's flanking with Hadza there. If he is add 2 to his hit roll and...[ooc]
|
|
Ibona takes a single step forward and cuts a piece off. Dark doesn't have his aim on target and shoots wide of the banner.
The floating flag plays a little game with Hadza, and someone traps the bull of a man in it's tail.
Angela and Kahwen comes around to corner to give a hand and cuts another piece out. But the barbarian is still trapped in the grips of the banner.

The banner keeps it's hold on the human and constricts his airways! Causing him to gasp in pain.
~~~
I'm trying to figure out your HP, Barbarian 2 levels 12+7, Con bonus 2x4, Favoured class bonus +2? At most I can make it out to be 29 HP. Also, could you update your header? It still says you're level 1.

Angela gives a distraught look at the banner as it slowly chokes Hadza. "Damn, that does not look good. Let's try taking this banner out before it takes our companion out!"
She takes her long spear and starts to point out a few places where a little more force might cause the thing to start tearing more. "She the fraying here, it'll spread easily. The small cut here and there might also work...."
