The warrior also looked quite burned as he had to fly through the ring of fire. The warrior then geared himself up and unleashed an enormous blow against the statue:</p><p> </p><p> </p><p>There was no reaction.</p><p> </p><p>Victor then flew towards the hand that was slowly crushing a struggling Vigilance; methodically, he began to smash the fingers around the stag; this time, it did seem to be doing something as the hand suddenly dropped and then opened, as if the statue had lost control of that part of its limb. Vigilance dropped down and fell quite heavily, but scrambled up immediately and again sped away as fast as he could.</p><p> </p><p>I tried to cast a spell which would weaken it, but it was completely unaffected; however, just as it was reaching down towards Vigilance again, suddenly the earth underneath it rose smoothly. It caused some major disruption as gravel, grass and stone loosened but most importantly, the statue was now atop a small hillock and out of reach of everyone.</p><p> </p><p>“Nice one, Metamorphosis!” shouted John; I glanced behind me to see that the rogue had made himself magically unseen; wise man. Unfortunately, that left the statue with little option but to start blasting us with fire spells, courtesy of its version of the Torch of the Burning Sky. Yes, I had worked out that the statue was not only a duplicate of Drakus Coaltongue but it also had a duplicate Torch in its hand; I wasn’t sure if this was some distorted reality being dreamed by Trilla, where she saw the Emperor with the Torch, or if the Trillith possessing the statue had some strange power which also possessed the artifact but whatever it was, its Torch seemed to have duplicate powers to the one we possessed.</p><p> </p><p>Thus, first, a column of fire blasted Vigilance as the stag was running away. Then, it swung the Torch in a ring around its head and a huge fiery cloud enveloped us. Thank the gods we had our magical defences against fire otherwise we would have burned to a crisp a long time ago. Even though we were defended, the intensity of the heat in the cloud was such that some of the burning even penetrated the magic and it hurt! Quickly, I moved to Felix just as I saw Longhelim return the compliment to the statue, with his own column of magical fire, courtesy of the Torch. I am not sure if it did much but suddenly it rose yet again; it looked as if Metamorphosis was still concentrating on her magic.</p><p> </p><p>Felix healed Victor but then the statue cast another fire spell and this time I could not withstand the heat, even with my magical defence; everything went black.</p><p> </p><p>Thankfully, I felt Felix’s healing energy and I opened my eyes; there had been changes. The statue was still up on a huge mound but its Torch had been dimmed and the ring of fire around it had gone. Its other fist was grasping Vigilance again, squeezing. It must have done the same trick.</p><p> </p><p>Now, the Torch was flickering brightly again and the statue had another ring of fire around it again.</p><p> </p><p>The situation was desperate. I shouted:</p><p> </p><p>“Longhelim, Victor, are we going up there? I can do that!”</p><p> </p><p>The two warriors nodded together with Felix, I transported us right next to the hand grasping the stag. Everyone was flying so there were no worries about being up in the air. I saw one of Drudge’s volleys hit grasping hand but nothing happened. So, Victor began bashing the it again. Felix also touched the stag with his staff and it recovered much of its vitality. Suddenly, the statue raised the Torch and a column of transparent fire enveloped us; it didn’t hurt but it did make us look as if we were in two places at once. I tried to cast my destructive green ray at it again, but it did not do a great deal at all.</p><p> </p><p>Then suddenly, the statue was gone! It must have used one of its Torch powers! It appeared right next to Drudge inadvertently putting poor Metamorphosis right in the ring of fire. Immediately it tried to stomp on the ranger; thankfully, Drudge managed to roll out of the way. He squirmed away and the statue swiveled its head towards us, who were some distance away at this point. Then, another column of fire crashed on top of us, immediately followed by another curtain of flame which washed over our group. I was almost on my knees from this magic despite my protection; I saw that the warriors, while badly hurt, were waiting to see what the statue would do next. So was Vigilance. I also saw that Metamorphosis had managed to get out of the ring of fire.</p><p> </p><p>Suddenly, I had an idea; it was so simple, I berated myself briefly for not thinking of it before. I quickly cast a spell on Vigilance, making the stag invisible. I reasoned that if the statue could not see an invisible dwarven magician nor an invisible human rogue, then it would not be able to see an invisible stag trillith. Therefore, Vigilance would avoid that annoying magic where the statue pointed at someone and that being just appeared in its hand.</p><p> </p><p>As I finished, I whispered to Vigilance:</p><p> </p><p>“Run! Run like you’ve never run before!”</p><p> </p><p>The stage gently lowered its head to me slightly and then sprang away; aided by my spell, I could see that it was taking my advice, quickly disappearing into the distance. It seemed to be working as the statue did not seem to register Vigilance’s escape. Simultaneously, I felt a touch and healing magic coursed through me as Felix had realised my peril. I had been badly bashed, burned, shot by Drudge and magically harmed…….by my own spell, to add insult to injury. I had been healed a little previously but I was still perilously injured.</p><p> </p><p>Almost immediately after, the statue yet again combined the power of its Torch as two fire spells enveloped us again in quick succession. At this point, Longhelim and I both had had enough.</p><p> </p><p>Quickly I shouted:</p><p> </p><p>“Longhelim, what do we do? Neither you nor Victor can hurt this thing with your weapons. I can’t touch it with my spells. Believe me, I’ve tried. It’s about to trample all over Drudge; John is over there but he’s not doing anything either. Either we need a plan or we move away to regroup. We can’t let it cast those fire spells at us time after time; it seems to have an unlimited number of them and sooner or later, it’ll burn us to a crisp.”</p><p> </p><p>Longhelim replied:</p><p> </p><p>“What about the city?”</p><p> </p><p>John joined in as this conversation was being conducted via magic spells:</p><p> </p><p>“The city is lost! Go! I’ll stay here and let you know what happens to Drudge!”</p><p> </p><p>Victor said:</p><p> </p><p>“What about Drudge?”</p><p> </p><p>John shouted back:</p><p> </p><p>“You’ve got to go! If you don’t, then we’ll all die! There’s just no way we can harm that thing!”</p><p> </p><p>Very reluctantly, Longhelim nodded at me. I readied to cast the spell.</p><p> </p><p>Then, something quite extraordinary happened.

[QUOTE="Cafu, post: 6395777, member: 6692807"] Immediately, another wave of trilliths flew out of the ground and entered the statue through its head, its chest and into the Torch.
