Tis a fine fall day! The harvest is done and food is plenty. That's a good reason to roll out four menacing looking golems for testing, right? Probably not related. A scholar stands before them, speaking to the assembled crowd, "We are very proud of the golems we have made. They fight without fear, and have no vital force to be taken by the shadows, but they lack a certain finesse. We hope to test their mettle and refine it against true, thinking, trained, opposition."
Ryusho hums softly as he looks over the golems if he can see them as he rubs his head lightly, he had been hearing abou tthis as he hums softly, he had been actually very interested in their -construction- and was hoping in a way that maybe helping with this testing, could get him some knoledge about them for his own interests...
Rainer really only came for the food, but the opportunity to smash up academy property and not get in trouble for it is a nice bonus! Standing amongst those gathered, using the hilts of his dual swords as arm rests, the wolf nods along with the scholar's every word as he quietly. Edges. Towards. The. Buffet. "If they're at least as challenging as that Education Elemental was, this could be a halfways decent party~" he thinks aloud to himself, all smiles.
Wulf has found her way to the academy district, interested in how these golems work and the gadgetry required to animate and operate them as she normally is in most developments. Rubbing her chin as she listens to the speaker she ponders how something such as a golem would seriously work without a soul... probably somekind of the divine math no doubt.
With a gesture, the most bulky of the golems steps forward, with great clubs for hands, "Our first design. He is designed to deliver basic crushing blows on anything he is directed at. Simple, but we hope effective. Who would care to give him a proper testing?"
Ryusho rubs his chin as he looks around, "I suppose I can give it a go for testing, Unless someone else would like to give this one a try, I admit I am almost as interested in their workings and watching, rather then actually combatting them directly..."
Rainer starts to raise his hand when the dragon speaks up, and so bows gracefully and gestures Ryusho ahead. More time for him to check out the spread!
Wulf continues rubbing her chin, studying the construct for any structural weaknesses or exposed parts before she even decides on fighting the construct. "Gimme a moment, best to know yer enemy before you confront it."
The bulky golem has the advantage of being... bulky. He lacks in obvious exposed mechanisms because he's built quite solidly, though probably not all that fast with all that armoring in place. A heavy, front line, crushing machine by all measure.
Wulf sighs "Well this dagger of mine ain't gonna do much iffen there isn't a weakspot somewhere..."
Wulf gestures for the dragon man to go ahead "So be my guest I'll get another one."
Ryusho would move forward, waiting though he mrphs as it would move forward, as he readies himself, though shifting his weight he waits, shifting to one side, then the other, stepping quickly to the side as the first club comes down about where his head would of been a moment before, and narrowly avoiding it clipping his side and leg, the large tegu showing supprising mobility as it begins to recover from that swing, using the other arm to swing at a downwards angle, as he steps back towards the first arm, though then caught off for a moment as it -yanks- said arm upwards, causing the Tegu to twist his body, adjusting his balance, and turning, the semi-sideways slung club moving past him narrowly, as the other is still being -recovered, though on the third swing at an angle, as he dives -under- the arm, with it nearly grazing his side he notices something out of the corner of his eye, the dragon moving, and waiting as he readies his sword after a moment or two, adjusting his grip upon it, so as the large golem turns and brings the arm up to swing down, he runs -forward- almost ramming into it as he brings his sword around, and upwards, jamming it powerfully into the 'armpit, and pushing to force the blade in as close to fully as possible, as he wrenches the blade left and right a bit with the force applied.
Rainer marvels at the spectacle, even throws out a little applause for Ryusho. "Who'd have thought something that big could move that fast? Heh!" And you know he's impressed, 'cuz he's even forgotten about the food, temporarily!
Loud grinding noises emerge from the golem as whatever machinations allow it motion disagree with the sword trapped in it. Probably not good for golem or sword really. The scholar waves at the golen with a finger gesture, making it pause, "Well fought indeed. You are a credit to the Creator's own designs, which ours are bit shallow imitations," he says reverently, "We'll have to adjust for that, yes, thank you very much."
Wulf smirks and reaches up to an ear, rubbing at it lightly "Well ye can't say that all the big folk are slow now can ya? Well done mister."
Ryusho shifts and slowly begins trying to work and get the sword out as he mrphs, "..can you get it to lift it's arm -just- a bit, if it can, I believe that it has currently pinned it with the arm and torso ..so I can get it out after it lifts the arm slightly..."
The next golem steps forward. Almost the opposite of the first, it's all long flowing limbs, narrow and curved, balancing on stilts almost as it moves with a long gait. "This golem focuses on speed and dexterity. She is capable of delivering fast crippling blows and getting away before being counter attacked, or so is the idea. Who feels up to giving her a round?" The club golem and sword are separated and clubby is allowed to return to his place in the line.
Rainer looks to Wulf and gestures at the golem, smiling. "You looked pretty eager to go, so... by all means. But I call dibs on next."
Wulf nods at Rainer "All righty... I'll take this 'un then." her dagger slides out of it's sheath and her musket is moved so it's strap won't have a chance to fall as she steps foreward, looking the golem up and down, her stance dropping low and her long dagger poised to strike.
The two approach one another, both nimble warriors. slender blade arm swings out, ducked by Wulf. Blade reaches towards the golem's center, but she rolls to the side, avoiding the incoming dagger and sweeping her arm down, leaving a light cut at Wulf's leg. The two circle one another before clashing anew, golem starting with a blazingly fast thrust that gives Wulf a fresh shave, but leaves it open to a counter attack, scoring a light line across its torso, which seems to be made of wood, not metal, as it appeared at first.
Rainer plucks up a plate and covers it with all the food it can hold as Wulf is approaching the golem. Every move of their dance is accompanied by a new morsel being pushed into his mouth, his eyes repeatedly widening as the husky goes from one close shave to the next, seeming a pretty even match for the construct. "Adventuring Rule #11!" he calls through a mouthful of bread, "Go for their knees!"
