Dyn

Moving in to help, Dyn tries to grab whatever limb of the construct he can get his hands on and prepares to shove together with the others.

Adyra

Diedre avoids the clumsily slashing blade and renews her attempt to get everyone to push the free over the side of the catwalk.

Rhion

Rhion tries to avoid the oncoming blade, but he was way too close to the enemy. He rotates himself as the blade touches his skin, missing a lethal blow but drawing blood nonetheless. He grits his teeth against the pain, and once again, pushes the construct as hard as he can.

The Group
The construct fights off the attempts of the group to shove it over the edge though Dyn manages to secure a grip on a limb.

Rhion

"You're one persistent character." Rhion mumbles, frustrated, as he grapples further with the construct.

The Group
It is not the concentrated effort of the escaping prisoners as much as an ill advised shift in footing that, in the end, dooms the construct. Adyra and Rhion manage to take advantage of the constructs now more vulnerable position and in concert push the construct over the edge of the platform. It falls silently towards the sands below, staring up at them.

Kinedu (Rho)

Kinedu steps into the building he judged to be a tavern of some kind, looking around.

Adyra

Adyra slaps Rhion on the back, "Good... let's go." She starts running for the stairs.

Rhion

Smiling to Adyra, Rhion pauses a moment, focusing to invoke the healing powers bestowed to him. He puts his hand where the construct's blade struck, and the wound suddenly begins to close.

Not waiting another moment, Rhion dashes forward to follow Adyra while gesturing Dyn and Isaac to come too.
