Round 2
Gemini blinks and gawks as the colossal machine doesn't even seem fazed by the entire group's barrage of fists, flames, and projectiles, even the ones that were exceptionally well-aimed. "Ohhhh-kaaaayyyy........ I....don't think we can......defeat this......mechanical monstrocity.....unless.....one of you.......has been hiding a super-robot-hacking device or......electro-magnetic pulse power of phenomenal magnitude......" he mutters in a faux-William Shatner voice.
With that, Gemini runs back through the Sorceress' Portal followed by his Helis-lookalike 'brother'.
The Sorceress looks back to her portal, where Gemini just fled through, then back to the powerful robot and to Brick, who is still staggering from the mighty blow he received.
Maybe he is right... but I won't give up, that quickly...
Then she takes a moment to focus and think about an approach that might better help them than the straightforward attacks they have been trying so far.
"Rrrarrggh!" Helis bellows as he jumps and swings his sword at the metallic attacker, still unable to pierce it's tough outer shell.
Brick manages to almost shrug off what was clearly a devastating blow. Realizing how difficult it will be to defeat this machine, he tries to hold it in place to help his friends damage it. He lashes out, his fingers digging into the metal of the robot's neck. Finally piercing it's armor, he isn't able to get a good hold.
The robot seems to ignore the fleeing Gemini's as he swings his scythe at Brick again while firing a dark red eye-beam at Helis.
The ancient warrior manages to dodge the attack, but Brick if thrown through the room, hits a wall hard and falls to the floor. Amazingly, he still seems ready to fight!

Arkhandus, do you really want to quit this game???
Sorry for your bad luck so far...
The robot is PL12, just 2 levels above you. I didn't meant it to be SUCH a challenge.
I also realized I forgot to give each of you a HP. I usually do this before fights with enemies with higher PLs.
Consider yourself having 1 more HPs
