Legend
Lionel did not see himself as any form of leader, but he happened to put foot-to-stair quicker than anyone else and before he knew it, he was leading the way down the spiral staircase into a foggy, smelly, dimly-lit area. One floor down (with another to go to reach the kitchen, where they expected to find Sir Darfin to report and find out what was going on), in the shadows, Lionel and Tommi (who was first behind him) heard movement from the direction of the outer wall. There, they knew, were four suits of armour. Two of them drew their swords and stepped off their pedestals in a threatening manor.

Through the smoky fog, one eye on each glowed with fire while the other seemed to add to the smoke, smouldering menacingly.

Escella casts a message cantrip, pointing down the stairwell in the direction she hopes Sir Darfin is within 120 feet of her. She says, "Armored statues in stairwell are animated. Do you know anything about a supposed titan name Sing-Axe? I think he is responsible, fire in one eye, darkness in the other. You may reply to this message."

Tommi continues down the stairs, but stays clear of the animated suits of armour when he reaches to floor.

He loads a stone, and with a quick overhand shoots it down towards the head of the leftmost one, where (he hoped) Orb 5 was already positioned t help.

EITHER: The shot goes wide, and hits the wall beside the suit.,
OR: the shot rattles onto the helmet and knocks a substantial dent.

Tommi tries to stay clear.

OOC: Attack: 1d20+7=11. Miss. Does he have advantage? with Orb5? If so 1d20+7=23 (hit). Damage w/SA=23 (Magic stone). (2 stones left)

“I’m guessin’ those suits o’ armor ain’t s’posed t’ move,” Angis said. He pushed past Vairar down the stairs a bit as he drew his heavy crossbow. Muttering a spell, he adjusted his aim and then fired at the suit closest to the stairs.

Vairar walks with his new weapon above Angis' head. When the constructs move he awaits the people to clear the stairs.

"Spread, quickly!"

He moves toward the closest armor as soon as possible.

OOC: if possible he will move and attack, but essentially delays his turn until he can do so.

Above most of the others on the spiral staircase, Vairar vaulted over the railing. He landed hard but unharmed on the same level as the armours and he rushed one with his pike, attempting to hold it back as it advanced.

OOC: I calculate that Viarar can still attack.

Legend
To Tommi's dismay, ORB5 had disappeared into the smoky dimness below. His stone pinged harmlessly off of the suit of armour as the thing stomped forward. Viarar leaped into the way, halting its advance, but he too had his weapon glance off of the tarnished metal. The metal being tarnished was a strange sight, as the Floshin servants had kept them well-polished. The Daggerfordians had passed them by not long before, and they had been wonderfully shined. Now the metal was dark and stained, which added yet another layer to their menacing appearance.

Escella sent a magical message to Sir Darfin, and while she waited for an answer, she watched from the stairs as Angis let a quarrel fly from his crossbow and the quarrel broke as it collided with the armour's shield. No answer came to her. Something was very wrong.

OOC: @Neurotic - Did you want me to take one of them? Gives me more to do. @Prickly Pear Lionel still to go. @Kobold Stew Tommi can whistle and I'll have ORB5 come back. I was thinking that it would scout ahead, but it can come back if Tommi wants.
