Foxglove's readied action activates, so she begins to sing a wordless tune -- something about it seems to convey a sense of 'I got your back;' it's invigorating, and fills the listening allies with strength.
And Tweedle gets ready to rumble as well, whenever their turn is in the initiative count.
Godwyn sighs, clearly exasperated. "I was TRYING to be diplomatic!" he growls, obviously frustrated.
Well, he can't just sit back and let the golems kill the poor pegasus.
As the artificial behemoth in front of him turns to attack Heartflight, Godwyn clenches his fist, winds back, and then delivers a powerful punch right into the golem's back. Considering his own natural strength and training, in addition to all the magical enhancement he's under right now, there's no doubt he'll at least be getting the golem's attention... "Sorry, but I can't let you hurt her!"

Gearstride grimaced a little, unsure of why she herself went with stealth after all. But cool, combat could be sweet cheese. Though, she wasn't quite pleased with Heartflight drawing attention to her area, considering she snuck over here and Gearstride wasn't a direct combatant sort of gal.
She began to reach on her vest and removed a small vial with an ounce of a special alchemical component, liquid catalyst.
Initiative!
[roll0]
Godwyn appears to have definitely put a dent in the golem.
"Don't even think about it, rust-flank!" Heart warned, making up the best on-the-spot insult she could manage. She then charged at the golem, unleashing a flurry of punches, kicks, and wing slaps.

Gestalt is silly. :smalleek:
Heart basically destroys the golem.
"Systems....failing...master." The golem says, and falls to pieces.
Alright, time for Heart to make a will save.
The xanadu mare watches in silence, putting concentration in the chemical mixage of her vial. She gives it a little shake for flair and then lets one go at the nearest golem with a flick of her head. "Bombs away haha..!"

While it's still standing, that golem is looking much worse for wear, even moreso than it already was. The force of the blast and flames charred most of it, and blew a few chunks off too.
"ANNOYING....HERETICS!" The golem says.
Godwyn hasn't rolled for initiative yet, so I'll roll, since there's a half-decent chance it's his turn next.

"Wait, what did you just call me?" Godwyn deadpans.
The griffin Paladin narrows his eyes. "It. Is. On."
And with that, he takes flight, quickly closing the distance with the heavily damaged golem. He zips up, rears back, and slams his shield down atop the construct's head with a resounding clang, hopefully disabling the behemoth.

Oblivious to the mental ravaging he almost experienced, Godwyn scowls as the construct collapses. He takes no pleasure in purging these corrupted and misguided golems.
Well, with no real need for her own involvement just yet, Foxglove's just going to keep singing. She nods, though, for Tweedle to go help with the last remaining golem.
He rushes forwarf, savage instincts as Foxglove's bodyguard unleashed. He approaches the last remaining golem and bites at it with both of his heads, grabbing and shaking any -- seperate, actually -- bodypart a head could reach.

Tweedle strikes true, but unfortunately, it's not quite enough to take out the golem. Equally unfortunately, it appears to have decided on a target.

Seeing the hydra was taking care of the last golem, Heart turned to trot into the cave ... before her swagger was rudely interrupted by the golem attacking her.
"Grrr...." She grit her teeth and met the golem's attack with her own hoof. There was a small explosion of lightning between the two ...

Heart takes out the last Golem. It says something I don't care to repeat. :smalltongue:
Time for Heart to make a will save.
Heart hears a very shrill and loud siren, or deep foghorn, whichever makes more sense for her to hate, going off repeatedly, the noise seeming to come from inside her head, and is incapable of being muted even if she puts her hooves over her ears. Hearflight takes ten damage as the trap assaults her mind and is deafened for [roll0] Hours.
The golem exploded, but Heartflight was also knocked back by the power of the golem's trap. She lay there for a moment, eyes swirling and unable to hear.
Godwyn's eyes go wide. "Heartflight!"
The Paladin immediately flies over to hover alongside her sprawled form. "Heartflight! Are you alright?!"
Godwyn frowns deeply at Heartflight for a moment. As much as he wanted to berate her for starting this fight and bringing this on herself, he knew that would just be mean.
"Hold still," he flatly deadpans. And with that, he kneels down and grabs her by the face toabsolve her of her sinstake her curse upon himself. Because he's nice like that.
The grace of Godwyn's god transfers the effects to Godwyn, and lessens them as well. The effect lasts for the next minute, and Godwyn will have to explain them to the best of his ability.
Heartflight is no longer deaf, and her wounds heal a little.
"Ugh...." Heart muttered, rubbing her ears as the siren alarm faded from her mind.
"Thanks," she said, shaking her fur/feathers out and standing up.
Godwyn reels and staggers back, his eyes screwed shut and his face locked in a grimace of pain. He drops to his knees, clutching his face, and sits in that position for about a minute or so, ignoring any and all attempts to interact or help him. If anyone tries to touch him, he'll wrench himself away from them and wave them off with his shield.
Once a minute or so has passed, the Paladin lets out a gasp and slumps forward slightly, visibly shuddering. He's left panting, and looking rather worse for wear...
Heartflight was visibly shocked, and a bit shaken, when Godwyn actually transferred the pain to himself. Once the deafness had passed she stood there for a moment, before saying:
"What did you go and do that for?!" she asked angrily.
Foxglove had been one of the ponies waved away, since she had come out of the bushes once the last golem went down. Still, after a while, he looked better, so she'd ask again:
"A-are you OK now, Sir Godwyn?"
"What just happened? It was all a blur and combat's over ready....I was just gettin' started hahah...oh well...heh.." The mare laughed and then looked at the scene confusedly.
Godwyn's still knelt over panting when Heartflight starts to angrily berate him.
"Pal... adin..." he grunts between breathes, sounding more than a little irate himself. He lifts his head just enough to give the pegasus a sharp glare out of the corner of his right eyes; his left is still clenched shut.
When Foxglove asks as to his condition, he gives a weak shrug. After a moment, he finally rises up and tries to stagger to his feet. He sways a bit, but manages to keep his balance. "Fine. I'm fine..." he grumbles evasively, avoiding eye contact with everypony. He still seems quite shaken by whatever happened...
"Would some healing help?"
She wasn't exactly sure what had happened, but it was worth asking. Still...She did not like the look of this.
"Or anyone else?"
((I don't actually know if he took the damage, or just the pain.))
"A bit achy," Godwyn grumbles, massaging the bridge of his beak. "Really, I would rather just forget the last 75 seconds ever actually happened, but I doubt you can assist me in that endeavor..."
