"Let's see," Mai said, moving forward.

As Mao stepped into the room the machine turned to face her lowering its spear at her.

"Well, that sure seems to be the case," Mao said.

(OOC: Init with +2)

(OOC: Initiative - Mao Hitcher rolled 8,5 using d10,d6+2)

(OOC: Sorry for delay, but go)

Mao cast Ghost Image at the thing.

(OOC: Magic Attack roll - Mao Hitcher rolled 7,6 using d10,d8. 22 Dark Damage and Daze)

The dark magic crashes into the machine cracking a small section of it's armour.

The machine leaps into action so fast that Mao can barely keep track as it lunges at her with it's spear. Ruvik stes up next to Mao and slams his hammer into the things side.

The robot twists and slashes it's spear at Xaio but misses.

Heather chants a spell of her own and she fires a ray of light at the robot creating another crack in it's armour.

It turns and throws it's spear at Ruvik who deflects the weapon, the machine opens it's hand and the spear appears in it.

Xaio pulls a pouch off her belt and throws it at the machine as it impacts it seems to expand around it constricting it.

(OOC: you've hurt it, and inflicted dazed, shaken, slow and weak.)

Mao went to hit it with her book

(OOC: Attack roll - Mao Hitcher rolled 7,4 using d10,d10. Damage - 13)

The book crashes into the things head rocking it back.

It tries to stab at heather but misses as the constricting mass reduces it's reach.

Ruvik steps up and lands a solid blow at it's knee joint, denting the armour.

It reacts quickly spinning it's spear round and catching Ruvik in the stomach.

Heather spins her staff and tries to hit the Guardian, but it blocks the blow.

The guardian lifts it's spear and throws it at Mao, it catches her leg pinning it to the floor.

"Sis!" Xiao screams and moves behind the machine driving both knives into it's back.


(OOC: Mao takes 18 dmg and is slowed, you can remove the spear by making a str check)

Mao began casting a spell again.

(OOC: Ghost Image again - Mao Hitcher rolled 10,1 using d10,d8. Damage - 25 if it hits)

Mao's spell strikes again the mechanical being rocking back from the spell's impact.

It summons a new spear and strikes at Ruvik who raises his shield and deflects the blow.

He moves up next to Mao and sets his shield to protect her. "I'll cover you," he said.

It seems frustrated for a moment and then turns to stab at Heather catching her in a wing.

Heather chants a spell and fires a beam of light that sears more of the thing's armour.

It twists and throws a spear at Ruvik who deflects it again, and then retlatites with a hammer swing.

Xiao manoeuvres behind it again and keeps stabbing as her, one of her knives fails to find purchase, but the other sinks in and the Guardian slumps forward.

"Is it dead?" Ruvik asks hesitantly.

"I hope so," Mao said, going to investigate.

As Mao stepped forward the machine stood up, sparks and electricity sparked from the rents in it's armour. It's eye that had been glowing green shifted to crimson hue.

(OOC: Phase 2 go)

Mao cursed and tried the same spell again.

(OOC: Magic Attack - Mao Hitcher rolled 3,8 using d10,d8. Total - 11, Damage - 23 dark and daze)

The spell strikes and deals more damage to the construct. It lashes out with a flurry of punches against Ruvik and Heather but misses.

Ruvik side steps and then hits the machine in the knee, buckling the leg but the Centurion remains upright.

It attacks Ruvik and Heather again this time striking both with a series of blows.

Heather strikes with her staff, dealing a solid blow to the machine.

It springs back from the blow and attacks both Mao and Ruvik with another combination of blows but misses.

Xiao moves up to attack but the Centurion blocks one of the blows, the other blade slips through a rent in the armour further damaging it.

Mao kept using the spell.

(OOC: Same thing - Mao Hitcher rolled 4,3 using d10,d8. Total - 7, Damage - 19)

Mao's spell missed as the construct turned on Heather and Xiao and tried to pummel them. Ruvik sets himself up to protect Mao, figuring her spells are the best chance to beat the machine.

The Centurion tries to punch Mao, but Ruvik blocks the blow with his shield and then strikes back with his hammer, Xaio easily skips aside from the blow aimed at her.

Heather chants a spell and launches a lance of fire that melts one of the construct's arms.

It retailates hammering both Heather and Xaio with powerful blows.

Xiao grabs a pouch off her belt and throws it up into the air, a healing mist decends on the party

(OOC:  everyone gets 30hp back, and its looking very rough)

Mao tried her spell again.

(OOC: Spell Attack - Mao Hitcher rolled 5,6. Total - 11, Damage - 21)

Mao's spell strikes the machine and it collapses to its knees then falls to the ground.

"Is it dead?" Mao asked.

Ruvik steeped up and pushed the machine over with his hammer "Looks like it this time," he said.

"Can I get some help taking this out then?" Mao asked.

Ruvik moved over to help Mao shift the fallen machine, it took some effort especially as Xiao was hovering and kept trying to poke at the fallen construct.

"How did your people make these things?" Mao asked, panting from the effort.
