[LPF] Faith and Good Works

Convinced that he has things figured out now, at least for this puzzle, Fury glances over to make sure that Cythera has the key. He nods when he sees her tuck it safely away. Eager to get this puzzle completed and to see what lies beyond the door Fury strides to the third room and prepares for the challenge.

The second key seems to have a spiky, weapon motif -- it looks little like the blocky, heavy key from the chamber of the defenders.

For the third time, a set of guardians manifests as the party lines up in the deployment area.

Cythera e'Kiernan, Bronze Dragon Disciple

Cythera still has the divine strength aiding her muscles. Putting away her glaive, she draws her large sword from the sheath across her back. Testing the swing a few times, she begins the intricate dancing maneuvers to add accuracy to her strikes and readies her charge through the veil.

"Let us dance and win this last one!"

She charges once Fury and Bren are ready.

Cythera e'Kiernan Carak

"Well, charging into battle is definitely not my strong suit. Just let me bolster my defenses so I can put it all on the table once we go in."

[sblock=OOC/Actions]Also, just in case I'm out of pocket I'll go ahead and post actions. Unless Fury or Cytheria changes the plan (to charge in), Bren will activate his Ki Defense and Charge #3.

Fury follows Cythera and Breninyr to the third room examining his rapier as he goes with a frown.

"Not the best weapon for a charge," he begins. "This rapier, that is," he says waving it about in explanation. "But it is what I got and it hasn't failed me, yet."

When the others are ready he'll step through the third veil and charge a pre-designated opponent.

As the party begins its massed charge (if three people running at their enemies can be termed as such), the constructs manifest light armor and a pair of military picks, one in each of their hands. However, the charge throws them into a kind of confusion that seems somewhat scripted, and they all dissolve into a shower of sparks as weapon meets magically simulated flesh.

The veils drop, leaving the third key ready for collection. This key has a light and airy motif that is probably meant to suggest the fleetness of skirmishers.

[sblock=Keys] [/sblock]

Fury grins. He is well pleased that he deciphered the scriptures and so avoided two fights that might have been dangerous. He collects the key and hands it over to Cythera to add to the other two keys. He exhales long and deeply.

"Don't know about the two of you but I could use a bit of a rest. What say we go back to the room behind the painting, close it up tight, and get a bit of shut-eye before heading deeper into this place?"

"That sounds like a good plan, Fury. Even though those last two rooms weren't nearly so hard as the first - thanks to some excellent thinking by you and the Lady - It's been quite a day."

He turns to Cythera with his ready smile.

"M'lady? What say you?"
