His exertion catching wind in his throat, causing him to bend over and stop his progress with labored breaths, Judoc hesitates at the bottom of a platform taking in the momentary scene before him. The whole eastern wall is bright with the sunrise, the pained, clear windows stretching across the eastern wall are shining with the dawn. A carpet runner runs down ahead of him to the end of the room, a bright red that rolls towards the end of the room, close to a number of doorways on the western wall. He barely has a moment to catch his breath however, when a clamor raises from down below.
Crash
"Shit!" The voice seems to be Giles's, followed by the clash of steel and grunt of exertion!
Rondald, panicked by the failure of his tactic drops his shield in a trice and grips the golem about the waist, hoping to hold it close enough to defray the danger of its axe. The tactic works well enough, and Rondald manages to grip the thing about it's torso as his massive buckler is dropped down between their feet, still standing upright as it has nowhere to fall. The Golem swings its axe crudely, though at these close quarters it would seem, there is no hope of it making a steady hit.
The other golem still could pose a problem, though Rondald keeps his sights on it as it thrusts out with its spear and Rondald makes the half-step down the stairs, retreating behind the other golem's mail armor as the jab clamors off his counterpart's armor.
His mail ever jangling as he continues down the stairs, Giles lashes out with a brutal sword cut that is blocked at the last moment by the opposite golem, and it lashes out back with a thrust of its spear, yet Giles swats the weapon aside as he swing again with his sword, which catches again at the rim of the the thing's shield, causing little more than a
twang at the denting of the metal rim.
OOC: Judoc welcome to the thread. You are one story above the violence described above, though you can hear it well enough to understand what is going on. If the map isn't clear (above) you have to travel to the eastern wall to continue downward. You are still at half move and dodge. You have gone through several stories, which are described above, the fourth story being the first additional map, the third being the long corridor, and the second is where you now stoop, winded.
Rondald, you have successfully dropped your buckler and grappled your foe. The other seems to be entirely consumed at this point in combat with Giles.
Please continue to give me 3 more rounds of combat.
