Pit Chamber
Oloven relieves his hand from the wall and looks at the shaft from a distance. "Hopefully that doesn't go too deep. Or I might have to take my armor off and lower it down."

Pit Chamber - Round 1
Zeevan holds a hand up, and moves forward alone toward the pit. He doesn't get far into the chamber before the front five statue like pillars animate! They break free from their podiums and step down onto the floor sweeping their blades about the chamber. They close in on those in the chamber, namely Zeevan...
Now they look more like this!
Fletcher and Zeevan...
Now they look more like this!

"Fletcher! We've got company!!!" Zeevan's voice is a little higher than he'd have preferred, but he knows if he stays in the middle of this group of statues he'll either get crushed, or knocked down the pit. He darts back closer to the group, striking out at one of the statues, trying to probe for a weakness. "Don't leave me hanging!"

Pit Chamber - Round 1
Not wanting to overextend into the chamber and draw multiple attacks, Fletcher draws his greatsword and places himself at a pinch point of sorts between the wall and the base of a statue. Standing at the ready, he calls out, "Hey! Over here!"
Number Two: "You are number six."
Number Six: "I am not a number, I am a free man!"
Number Two: "Muh ha ha ha ha!"
Number Six: "I am not a number, I am a free man!"
Number Two: "Muh ha ha ha ha!"

Then the five statues stalk forward. They have long thin blades that are made of solid stone. Zeevan is struck at once by one of them and hit hard, it will bruise instead of cut, and the bash hurts, but he'll be alright. Another moves up to Fletcher, who swings down on it, cracking the rock lightly, less than Zeevan's hit, and for his trouble's he is dented himself by the counter swing of the stone column. Three more move forward, they are slow thankfully, and Zeevan is able to take an opening and knock off a big hunk of stone on the hip of one of the moving statues scorching it as it moves. Fletcher dodges a second attack, and Zeevan ducks under a second as well. Now there is a wall of living statues before the pair.
Oloven, Jay, Rikkan and Jasper...

Oloven watches as his companion's weapons dont seem to have the intended effect. So instead of drawing a weapon, he grabs a wand and casts a spell out of it. A shimmering longsword appears and begins hacking away at the closest statue.

Jasper's eyes are wide and he shouts, "Oh damn!"

With Zeevan nearly surrounded, Fletcher opts to forget about the lone statue on his flank for the time being. As best he can he maneuvers his greatsword with much power hoping to thin the herd.
Number Two: "You are number six."
Number Six: "I am not a number, I am a free man!"
Number Two: "Muh ha ha ha ha!"
