Sādhanā's strike misses, though Sienna's ray damages the golem a bit more.
The golems search about for the invisible attackers.

The golem fighting Sādhanā finds the magus and hits her twice with its stone blade. You clearly see a spray of blood coming from a space next to the golem.
Round 1: Sādhanā, Ylrhea, Cyna, Sienna, Tarja, Golems, Drago, Arista
It takes all of Sādhanā's concentration not to scream and alert the other golem to her location as the stone blade rends her flesh.
As she sees the blood her mind races with what she can do to help them. Moving towards the Golem that Ylrhea fights she raises her arms and prays, "Goddess Sarenrae hear me. Bless us in this combat and make us victorious over our enemies." She then calls out to Sadhana, "Now Sadhana, make another attack against our foe."

Tarja moves up as fast as she could to try and keep Sienna safe.
Drago moved forward, drawing his non-mystic blade while mentally calling his family blade into his being. Stopping just short of being next to Tarja, and with his free hand, conjured his protective force of electricity.

Feeling Arista's blessing flow through her she strikes again, her blade sparking off the construct, not harming it but creating the perfect opening.
Extra attack this round.
She reaches deep down, feeling Oblivion's support like a hand on her shoulder, she once again feels an overwhelming force building within her flowing through her body to be unleashed with her strike.

The golem staggers backwards from the force of Sādhanā's attack and stumbles over the small railing of the bridge, plummeting into the abyss.
Round 2: Sādhanā, Ylrhea, Cyna, Sienna, Tarja, Golem, Drago, Arista
Ylrhea glances over her shoulder as the golem flies back and falls off the bridge. She then turns back to her opponent and lashes out with her mythic power again to cut the stone construct in front of her.
; ;
Instead of attacking further, she assumes a defensive position, knowing that Sādhanā had been struck before.
Sienna unleashes another elemental ray, the only effective thing she possesses against these walking weapons.
;
Cyna rushes forward getting herself in close before firing off several deadly shots.
Tarja slid in front of Arista and took a defensive posture.
Cyna drops the golem with a flurry of arrows. The construct teeters forward before shattering against the bridge.

As soon as everyone reappears, Ylrhea rushes to Sādhanā's side. "A-are you okay? Arista? "
Arista stands there for a moment before sighing. "Well...that went better than I had imagined. I knew we could do it though. Good job everyone."
Arista seeing the shape the Magus is in rushes over to her as well. "Eee Gods...it'll be alright, I'm here...I can fix this."
Arista lays her hands over Sadhana as she prays, "Blessed Goddess Sarenrae, heal this champion of good and justice. I ask this in your most sacred name."
A warm soft light eminates from the Aasimar as she administers healing to Sadhana's wounds.
Ylrhea tries to disguise her relief, but it is apparent in her eyes.
Shaking with a combination of surging adrenaline and excruciating agony, Sādhanā tries to flash Ylrhea a reassuring smile while attempting not to cough up blood.
As Arista heals the worst of her injuries she sighs in relief. "Thank you. I'll be ok now. Gods that hurt."
"Yeah...that looked rather nasty. Well...lets see what kinds of traps we can set for the little buggers before going back and getting some rest."
Ylrhea restrains herself from jumping into Sādhanā's arms and passionately kissing her. "Y-yeah...get those explosives out, Arista."
She looks happily at Ylrhea, "Ya mean it? We really gonna get to use them?" She looks excited as she gets out the dozen or so explosives she has left in her bag, all of them with long detonation wires attached to them.
"We sure are," Ylrhea says, grabbing one of the explosives. "Those dark dwarves will probably steer clear, but you never know. We just have to space them out so we don't blow the whole bridge down."
Sādhanā grins at the borderline malicious enthusiasm. "So what's the plan hon, set it up to go off if the try to get uo here again, or drop a section on them?"
"Nah, damage to the bridge will hurt us when trying to get the slaves out so getting them to explode into bitty duergar bits is the plan," Ylrhea explains. "But we have to make the trap hard for them to disarm."
"And yet not harm the bridge...hmmmm." Sādhanā studies the scenario to see how she can help.
Sādhanā knows how to perfectly position the explosives to minimize damage to the bridge while causing the most damage to soft targets. By crisscrossing the wires, she is able to make the trap difficult to disarm.
"Good job, Sādhanā," Ylrhea says, admiring the set-up. "Let's get settled in."
Pointing out the way to best lay the trap, the magus guides Ylrhea and Arista through the process of setting the most evective trap she can come up with, while the others keep an eye out for trouble.
"Well that should keep the bastards out of our hair." she says with a wink "Yeah, it's been a long day."
"At least this place has a bath," Sienna says, hooking her arm around Cyna's.
At the thought of a bath Sādhanā sighs, already looking forward to the hot water on her aching muscles.
She nods.

Ylrhea follows behind everyone else, lost in thought.
Sienna starts gathering firewood and setting it up under the bath. "Go ahead and fill that tub up, Arista. This fire will be ready in a moment."
She nods as she goes upstairs and starts filling the tub with fresh clear water.
Ylrhea goes upstairs to the ladies' bedroom and removes her armor and clothing. She waves her hand over them, cleaning them with a spell. She sighs and wraps a towel around herself before going back to the main room. She sits at the table, watching Arista half-heartedly.
While filling the tub, Arista glances over and sees the gloomy gnome. "Rhea? Are you alright? You weren't hurt were ya?" When the tub is full she goes to sit next to Rhea.
Ylrhea shakes herself from her thoughts. "I'm fine. Sādhanā took a beating though, huh?"
She nods solemnly, "Yeah....but, it could have been much worse. We were able to take care of them quickly though, so that was good. I'm still feeling a little....charred myself."
Sādhanā walks around the outside of the guardhouse, taking in the view off the edge of the bridge. She still wasn't sure how she was able to deliver a blow like that, she'd never harnessed that much power before.
Thinking about the fight brought her to something else. The dream she'd had the other night may have been just that, but it came from a part of her that was maybe more aware than her conscious mind. She saw the look in Ylrhea's eyes when she heard the golem tumbling back, seen the look of absolute terror at the extent of her injuries.
Ylrhea loved her. And she needed to figure out what to do about it.
Ylrhea smiles a little. "A bath and some rest...maybe some dinner and we'll all be right as rain."
Rubbing Rhea's back she nods, "I know....we've been through a lot these past few weeks. We can get through this though, I know we can. I'll see what I can whip up to eat after we get cleaned up and relax for a little bit alright?" She gives Ylrhea a pat on the back before heading up to the sleeping room to change and grab a towel for the bath.
Ylrhea nods and goes to sit at the edge of the bath, dipping her feet in.
In the blink of an eye, the fight was over before he knew it. Sheathing his longsword, and manifesting his mystic blade back in its scabbard, Drago kept an eye out for trouble as the trap was set. When everyone but Sādhanā had gone inside, the Dhampir stayed out as well. Making his way to the Bladebound, he asked, "Something on your mind?"
Tarja went inside with the rest of the group. The Eidolon set her weapon aside and waited for the Sorceress to heat the water. While the cold air really didn't bother her too much, she still preferred to be really warm.
"At least this place has a bath," Sienna says, hooking her arm around Cyna's.
"Lucky us." Cyna says latching onto her fiance.
