Level 10 Gaia delivers 10 damage. You have been knocked down.

As soon as they had recovered, the Adventurers began to assume the formation that had worked the first time around, creating a triangle around Gaia. Being a cohesive unit made the fight go so much smoother.

This time, Azure was in position to do the most damage. He tried for a headshot with his bow but ended up striking Gaia in the neck instead. She stumbled for a moment but quickly recovered and cast her ghostly hand spell. Seeing it coming, Azure was able to get out of range before the fingers swooped down to smash him to the floor. Sir Thornton and Lonnell weren't so lucky.

Lonnell landed the second hit that sent Gaia retreating behind her protective force field, and another statue began to move. This one looked like a horror of elongated flesh, giving Azure a flashback of The Dark One. It had large bulging eyes, thin lips, the nose of a bat, and a mouth that was far too wide. Jagged teeth showed through a wicked smile. A patchwork of armor covered its body from head to toe, stitched into the statue's skin. Feathers sprung from its head in place of hair, making it look like it had a slicked back hairstyle. Azure thought the statue was creepy.

Much like the Statue of Steq, this statue was incredibly slow. Its thin limbs gave no aid to speed. Instead of going straight for Lonnell and Sir Thornton, it diverted to walk between the three Adventurers. At first, they had no idea what it was doing.

Deciding to try his luck, even though he was reasonably certain he'd achieve the same result, Azure loosed an arrow at the statue. Just as it had before, the arrow simply ricocheted and splintered into nothing.

Well, that was a waste of two Steel Arrows, he thought, feeling a bit stupid.

To add insult to injury, Sir Thornton called to him, “Didn't you learn the first time that that's not going to work?”

Azure shrugged. “I just had to give it a try.” Why was the guy bitching? They were Azure's arrows to waste.

The statue stopped, facing in no particular direction. It stayed in place, not seeming to have any intentions of moving.

"This one looks like it might be easier," Sir Thornton mused, raising his sword and taking a few cautious steps forward.

"I wouldn't be so sure," Lonnell replied, following his lead though staying several paces behind.

Even as they approached, the statue showed no sign of attacking. Azure switched from his bow back to his Bronze Sword. There was a feeling in the pit of his stomach that something was about to go wrong. The statue couldn't possibly just be willing to stand there while they wailed on it.

"Maybe we should wait a bit, guys." Azure's feet pressed him forward, but his brain screamed at him to stay put. If he waited while his comrades attacked, he'd look like a coward. Still...

Sir Thornton raised his sword, ready to lay into the statue.
