Borkules perks up.

Cool! I like roofs!

Floating up alongside Chris, he seems to brace himself in mid-air.

Hang on tight!

Once there's a firm grip, they zoom towards the sounds of danger.

Rory gets a hold of the flying beagle and make their way to confront the intruders on the roof, what they find instead is not quite what they had been expecting when they come face to face with the golem that Hera had just punched in the face and looked defeated, the golem is relentlessly punching the roof access hatch when the pair arrive. Inside the building Arthur creates a cage to put the hostage in for protection, as he does he hears a faint sound coming from one of the offices. Outside Hera stands where the golem had previously been, looking around he notices both Rory and Borkules flying towards the rooftop, however from this angle the rooftop itself is not visible to him. A slight whistling sound alerts him to something happening he nimbly rolls out of the way of a pebble coming towards his head at high speed, as soon as the pebble touches the ground where he had been it explodes, out of the corner of his eye Hera sees someone moving towards the rocky outcrop in the park.

Chris pauses, ready to let go and punch the golem. "Can you fly Hera in his current form?"
If Borkules can pick up Hera after dropping Chris off with Arthur, we can catch one student and dog can either spot Hera while he destroys the golem or go off after the rock-thrower. We should avoid walking on the ground in the park, it might be a trap.

If Hera is too big, then Chris will try to deal with the golem first. He'll need to know about the student stalking the offices or the student in the park before he can join Arthur or fly out to the park, though.

Aruthur turns, hearing the whispers, he points his hands at his feet and sprays himself with ice from foot to head. As he does he forms a suit of ice armor up and around his body, leaving his face and ears for the moment exposed as if he has some ope face helmet. Then he moves toward the noise, listening as he goes. Now dressed in ice he smiles, and whispers to himself, "Alright Snow Job, let's made father proud..."

Hera put a hand close to his mouth and called out, though with his new form, his voice was already loud. In fact, this form made his voice sound like he was an adult. He shouted up to Chris, "NO, I CANNOT FLY LIKE THIS"

Hera looked down at the Golem, seeing how easily it fell to his strength and he pumped his fist in victory, "Yes!"

Hearing the sudden whistling, Hera looked around and soon took notice of the body hiding. Hera charged toward the Outcrop and attempt to crash into it with his horns, letting out a loud battle cry

Then we'll have to get the roof!

Borkules brings his passenger to the roof and starts looking for trouble.

Calculating odds. Up on the roof, Chris hops off his ride and looks for a target to simultaneously punch and stun. Preferably a student - preferably the painter. If all he can see is a golem, he will test his power on it nonetheless.
If I see a student, I'll activate Prowess Boost and Paralysis at the same time to better land a hit to stun them.

For now I assume the golem is ignoring me and not going to resist an attack unless guided to do so by its creator.

I didn't think about it before, but just to be sure, is Borkules a normal-sized beagle?

He absolutely is. Gigantism was not part of his mutation.
Seeing Chris and Arty taking the roof situation in hand, Borkules zips down toward Hera, offering the kind of enthusiastic backup only a 2-year old beagle can provide!

On the roof the golem pounds on the hatch relentlessly the weight of it's strong fists warping the metal, Rory squares up against the behemoth and launches a furious attack against it. He activates his prowess boost and runs up to the golem unleashing a powerful punch on the golem, the punch is blocked by the Golem's massive arm doing no damage whatsoever to it. As if from reflexes the Golem swats a heavy arm at Rory who doesn't have enough time to block the counter attack he is flung 15 feet back by the force of the attack and lands on one knee the Golem now stops pounding on the hatch and faces Rory full on. Inside the Building Arthur follows the noise to one of the corner offices, the inside of which is empty, he looks around and hears the sound again and sees a small shadow hovering outside of the curtained window. Outside Hera decides to the try to knockout the rocky outcrop in the park, he gathers as much as he possibly can and sinks his horn into the structure. The rocks crack under the power of Hera's attack and go flying in all directions and crumbles under it's on weight, as the dust settles Hera sees a student with short black hair and what looks like a slingshot attacked to his arm disappear into the ground. Arriving right as the outcrop collapses Borkules also notices the kid disappearing into the ground. He flies over to where the kid had been, but there is nothing where the kid was standing.

Rolls
Rory Attack vs Golem Pos: 6 Neg: -6 +7 Total = 7 Golem Pos: 5 Neg: -5 +12 Total = 12 Golem Blocks.
Golem Attack vs Rory Pos 6 Neg - 6 +12 Total = 12 Rory Pos 4 Neg -2 +7 Total = 9 Golem punches Rory.
Rory takes 3 Damage

Hera attacks rocky outcrop Pos: 6 Neg: -1 +13 Total = 19 vs DC 17 Hera Succeed!

"I see you there." Without much thought of the window strength, Snow Job summons his power as much as he can. Then he lunches a icy projectile through the glass of the window at the shadowy figure hoping to take it down.
