Shattered Star: The Asylum Stone [IC]

[lostsole31]

Akif pauses, eying the mechanical figures cautiously, raising his shield he draws the spear dropping into a heavy phalanx like stance and seems to exude an air of indefatigability. "Let us see if they are merely for decoration..." he says before stepping forward, continuing to advance until he can reach out and lightly tap the one in front of him with the tip of the spear on its metallic head.

"A good thought", Sisir focuses his gaze on the mechanical figure in front of him. Drawing his shield and mace, Sisir advances alongside his brother, pushing the head of his mace into the figure's chest.

As they do this ...

"Our new companions are not shy", Iluvar says to the Scribe. Iluvar then looks for any motion or sound that might contain a threat.

Just as the brothers step into the room, but before they can boop the bronze statues, clockwork gears in them spring to life! The sudden shift from quiescence to menace is enough to drop Akif out of stance and tactical presence, and Sisir burns his magic to become more responsive even as his hypnotic stare is interrupted.

Begin Round One ...

R1T37: Myki's rapier is in her hand, and nobody saw it happen, and she gets into a loosey-goosey fighting stance. With her other hand she seems to down some type of pharmaceutical. She then darts in and acrobatically gets into a flanking position with Akif.

R1T27: A stance the Scribe seems to have been in is re-adopted while at the same time he adds in some other element. He then moves in past the others and carefully gets to the far side of the room near a conspicuously-placed potted plant. "Clockwork soldiers!" he calls out. "Mindless constructs built to fight to the death for its creator. Versatile and wholly unpredictable, and programmed to wield a variety of weapons with a variety of tactics."

R1T21: Red (clockwork soldier) steps into the nearest corner, and completely fails to disarm Akif of his weapon.

R1T18: Iluvar, what do you do?
