As they reached for the gate, the Shadow Magi quick drew his Blaze Pistol. The guards opened the gate, and engaged the party. One swung at the Sun Magi, and connected solidly. Unfortunately for him, the Sun Magi's Combat Shell armor meant the punch did nothing. The other guard tried to punch the Moon Magi (who's also a war golem)but she slipped his blow easily. The Fey drew his Dueling Pistol, the Shadow Magi tried to Stun one of the guards, and the Moon Magi smiled, and pointed her hand. As an expression of horror crossed his face, the golem's fingers retracted, her palm opened up, and she shot him at point blank range in the face. He dropped like a sack of potatoes.
Luckily for him, the Moon Magi golem was designed specifically as an urban prototype golem, designed to operate in enclosed spaces and with minimal damage to life and property. Which means that her Blaze Cannon is tuned to fire stun energy, instead of the usual Blaze energy, which surely would have cooked him.
As the first guard went down, the Fey aimed and shot the guard that was attempting to assualt the Sun Magi. There was a sharp report, and the guard spun around and dropped to one knee holding his shoulder as blood gushed out.
The Sun Magi threw a hand out, and brilliant yellow knives of energy lept from his fingers and sleeted toward the the guard that was unengaged. The guard staggered slightly as the knives sliced into him, but managed to avoid most of them as they buried themselves in the wood and blinked out, leaving small burn marks smouldering.
The Shadow Magi sicced his Tree Devil on the guard that was down on one knee as the Fey reloaded his pistol, and the Moon Magi brought her cannon to bear on the guard that had just been hit with the Sun Knives.
She opened fire, and the guard was picked up and slammed backwords into the shack. There was a distinct 'crack' as something (either wood or something in the guard) gave way, and he slid limply to the ground unconcious.
"Halt!" commanded the Moon Magi, swinging her cannon over at the last guard.
The guard ignored her as the Tree Devil swarmed him biting and clawing. Grabbing hold of it, he slammed it into the ground, still on one knee and bleeding profusely. The Tree Devil squealed like a stuck pig.
The Fey watched impassively, and before anyone else could react, the Shadow Magi ran over and viciously kicked the guard in the head. There was a sickening thud and the guard sprawled on top of the Tree Devil, which struggled beneath the weight of the guard.
Quickly looking around, the group grabbed the three bodies and hauled them into the small shack and checked them over. The guard that the Shadow Magi had kicked in the head was dead, his skull showing a distinct curve from the boot. The other two were out cold, and likely wouldn't come around for hours.
