Schezo watched as Pit headed towards the flight of stairs. As Schezo got close to them, he took the vantage viewpoint to look around the perimeter, making just sure there's nothing to ambush them for the last stretch.

c3Co5Fi4p_1d20+4 (Schezo sees something ahead!)

"WAIT! STOP!"

If Pit were to waltz down the last bit of castle, then he'd be greeted with an ambush. Schezo came to stop Pit from going down the stairs, taking notice of one particularly intimidating guard that's been watching the castle since the beginning.

It was that golem Schezo was hiding from the whole time, and they happened to have crossed paths once more. Maybe the golem was wandering the other side of the castle? Whatever reason it be, they've come full circle. On top of that, it's taking a scan of the area as they stood before the stairs...

The golem is looking around the area... p_1d20

With the various bits of debris here and there, one could run over to them and take cover from the guardian golem.

((Hope you're pretty fast! Beat the golem's roll with your DEX roll to keep yourself out of sight.))

“Stop for what?”
Pit asked in whisper, lifting his first food to step in potential danger’s view.

“!”
Pit gasped silently, retracting his foot and stepping right back into hiding as he saw what Schezo was warning him about.

“Phew. That was close. Thanks Schezo.”
Pit quietly panted.
“It’s that Golem guy again.”
Pit whispered to Schezo.

“And we were so close to getting out of here!”
Pit whispered in despair.

“Got any ideas on how to get past him?”
Pit asked, already formulating his own strategy in his head.
He’d grown used to others having better ideas than his, so he was ready to hear out whatever Schezo had in mind.

"Look. There's cover we can utilize."

Schezo pointed at the ground, taking note of the various chunks of pillar and statues dotted on the ground. It's perfect cover when trying to utilize stealth, and it seems the golem's back is turned. Looks like the right time for Schezo to make the move, too.

"Just watch."

Nj35UVYsp_1d20 (Schezo sneaks around the golem!)

Schezo tiptoed behind the golem and took cover behind one of the statues. Schezo posed himself so that he's perfectly behind the statue. Someone would have to REALLY look if they're trying to play hide-and-seek with Schezo in here. Though, the golem isn't wasting time, and proceeds to look around the area once again...

The golem scans the area... p_1d20

((Time to play hide-and-seek! For each turn, the Golem will make a perception roll that you would need to beat with DEX. If you're slower, you need to roll WIS to outsmart it. Failing both rolls will result in bad times. You COULD pass the stealth roll and wait for an easier one, but both players would have to reach the end for completion to happen. Don't be that guy that sits there in the distance.))

He took a deep breath, and slinked behind another statue, posing gracefully behind it.

With the golem on alert, it began to turn around, coincidentally facing the statues where Pit and Schezo are hiding. This...is not very good for either of them. Since the eye is right where they are, any attempt to move would just get him caught. He has no choice but to bide his time and wait for it to turn its back. If Pit were to see Schezo, he's...in a hilariously impractical pose.

This is awkward...

The golem turned a bit, but Schezo still doesn't trust himself to do the evasion. He knows his lousy luck all too well, and it's likely he's going to be barely slow enough to get caught. He continued to bide his time.

Turn around more, accursed golem!

“Just turn around already...”
Pit growled under his breath.
Pit stood there, wings getting tired of holding their position behind his back.
They began to quiver and weaken.
Finally his wings succumbed to a cramp.

They gave way and opened,
either exposing his position behind the statue,
or that the statue itself was an angel.
The golem was to judge.

With the wing in sight, the golem let out a series of sounds of indecipherable language. The golem raised its trident ready to strike down on the intruder as is programmed. Looks like there's no escape now...draw your weapons!

Schezo, however, noticed that the golem seems to have got a tune-up since his first pass with the thing. It seems much more hardy than before, and it's targeting Pit!

As for Schezo, he tumbled out of his pose, stretching himself out as he has not been noticed yet. He has to prep himself to fight back, as it is unlikely for Pit to take it down on his own.1d20+4

“Code Polkadot! Code Polkadot!
We've Been Spotted! I Repeat, We've Been Spotted, Over!”
Pit gasped and started relaying as if following protocol.

“I'm sorry Otakon! I failed the mission!”
Pit coughed in  raspy self disappointment.

“Looks like it's time to do what Everyone does when they fail a stealth mission..."
Pit nodded dutifully, facing his mistake head on, bow drawn.

“Shoot the pants off everyone who noticed you!”
Pit shouted as enthusiastically as let's player, taking aim.
The angel set loose a barrage of arrows from his blow.
With each shot, Pit moved in closer and closer to the golem.

"Don't jinx it! We don't have much of a choice!"

Best not to think about the worst, as it'll likely happen if vocalized. Schezo rolled into battle, pointing his sword at the golem and firing a volley of shadowy blades in tandem with Pit's.

"Shadow Edge!"
(18%) u0LidtnQp_1d20+4

With the swift storm of attacks coming, the golem couldn't POSSIBLY dodge it, right?

Pit's Arrows:
1: p_1d20 (Hit! And nice Crit, Pit.)
2: p_1d20 (Miss!)
3: p_1d20 (Miss!)

Shadow Edge: p_1d20 (Hit!)

Unless by some freak chance you're a bad shot, you wouldn't. One arrow and Shadow Edge hit, but barely make a scratch on the thing. Even if the arrow hit hit cleanly, it's definitely a tough thing, but rather bulky and not all that fast. The golem took the trident and threw it at Schezo like a javelin, then it positioned itself for a shield charge at Pit.

To Schezo - Trident Javelin (12%, if hit, it will pin you to the wall until you roll 14+ STR to pry it out.): p_1d20+4

Schezo's Evasion: p_1d20

"Yikes...!"

Schezo ducked, feeling the wind make his cape flutter from the trident's trajectory barely graze him. It missed its mark, leading it to getting stuck in the wall. Worse things could have happened if Schezo got caught in there...

“Yeah That'd be really annoying.”
Pit complained at the mere thought.

(Hyd1C2Qmp_1d20+3 Pit's Dodge of the Shield Charge)

Pit ran into and foolishly colided with the golem's Shield Charge.

“Okay I had that one coming.”
Pit coughed and chuckled.

 
“But I came to give you This!”
Pit telegraphed the start of his attack.
Recovering without a beat, Pit engaged it in up close hand to hand sword play.

(p_1d20+2 Pit's Upperdash Arm. Does 20% Damage.)

Seeing the golem's trident get forked into the wall gave Pit an idea.

He began to back up from the golem and sprint over the wall to pull the trident out to use as his own.

(p_1d20+2 Pit's pull of the trident.)

 
“Come on, Poseidon... Learn to share!”
Pit grunted as he struggled to pull the trident out of the wall.


“Hey hey! Sea what I got here?~”
Pit taunted as he successfully pulled the trident from the wall.
He spun it around in his hands like a combat staff and prepared to rush the golem down with it.

"And one more from me!"

Schezo charged in and attacked with his sword, knowing that it quite literally threw one of its main attacking options. He leaped in for the strike and slashed at it relentlessly.

Schezo's swordplay (7% each):
1: vlOnhkvzp_1d20 (Critical Hit!)

After Schezo landed the third hit, he jumped out of the way, so as not to get caught by the Upperdash. It looked like it'd hurt. Wouldn't want to get hit at all.

With the shield, however, much of the moves got blocked off nonetheless. Ah, but in spite of Pit grabbing hold of the trident, that's not the only thing in its repertoire. Its eyes began to glow...and shot out a beam from its eyes! The beam swept the ground, attempting to strike at both of them.

Red Lasers (22%): p_1d20+4

"Curse this golem...!"

Not trusting his footwork to dodge it, Schezo held his sword out in front to form his barrier and block off the damage. The shield showed much wear upon the laser making impact; if he used it again, it'll likely shatter. Better be more careful now.

Rather than get out of the way like an otherwise rational person,
Pit opted to do so something else.
He whipped out his Guardian Orbitars in an attempt to reflect the golem’s lasers back at it.

“Call me Ishmael.”

"Wha-!?"

Schezo had caught notice of the orbitars reflecting the laser. He didn't expect that, but it did give the Dark Wizard some ideas. He had a spell that he once used defensively, but he never quite used it much. He might need to give it a dusting-off in the future. All isn't over yet, there were two more attacks coming from Pit, one of which was the golem's own trident.

Trident Attack: 7ue7YUOvp_1d20+2

...which just plinked off the shield.

Upperdash Arm: p_1d20+2

...as well as the Upperdash Arm. How underwhelming.

"Thunderstorm!"
(14%, 20% Paralysis) p_1d20+4
p_1d20+2 (Hit!)
(Paralysis Check) p_1d100

Schezo continued to use his lightning spells to try and debilitate the golem. The spells connect, but his main intentions are a tougher endeavor. Considering that it's raising the shield so skillfully, having it lag behind in speed would tip the battle in their favor.

"Shadow Edge!"
(18%) p_1d20+4
p_1d20+2 (Hit!)

The damage continued to pile up for the Golem, but now it's conducting a change of plans. Pit is becoming less of a threat, shifting its focus on the Dark Wizard. Picking up the thrown trident, it readied the spear and charged at Schezo.

Trident Charge (16%, must pass a Grapple check to escape.): p_1d20+4
Schezo's Evasion: p_1d20

"Too slow!"

Schezo jumped out of the way from the highly telegraphed moved, causing a large crack in the wall as collateral damage. Due to the conditions of the castle, chunks of the arches had given way, crashing down haphazardly on the combatants. Watch your head!

((Roll a 13+ to dodge the debris, lest you take 11% damage.)

"Wha- GAH!"

And Schezo didn't watch his head, getting beaned by architecture. Ouch. Don't be a Dark Wizard and trip on yourself, folks!
