Patience, generally.

[ She huffs out a little sigh but there's a smile on her face as she steps forward, surveying the tomb carefully. There's ways to test this but they're a little easier when you're alone. The last thing she wants is to accidentally put Elodie in danger. Or get them both killed, of course. ]

Knowing what sort of era the tomb is from is a good start. It gives you an idea of what sort of mechanics and magic the trap-layers would have access to. This one isn't quite old enough that I would rule out any residual magic but... I can't feel anything. Can you?

[voiceboxed]

[ Elodie closes her eyes and exhales, washing away all other thoughts and imagining herself surrounded by a web of threads. It's not a method anyone taught her, but rather something instinctive that she came up with herself. Of course, since the threads don't exist, nothing could touch them... ]

No... wait.

[ One of the threads trembles almost imperceptibly, as if being stirred by a tiny shift of the wind. She holds her breath for a moment, trying to feel it again, but there's nothing. Did she imagine it? ]

I'm not sure, but... I think I might have felt something from the ceiling?

[voicetested]

[ She looks up, scanning the gloom above them for a sign of... well, anything. She can't see much but if Elodie says it's there then she very well trusts that it is. There's a faint smile on her face -- something like pride and something like satisfaction over feeling as though she's made the right choice. She has a feeling Elodie is going to do just fine in here. ]

Just something? That's a good start-- have you got any idea what it might be? We might be able to find another entrance if it seems to dangerous to try and disable.

[voiceboxed]

Let me try something...

[ Elodie casts out a couple threads and fastens them to different parts of the ceiling, probing for anything that stands out. The shape of the ceiling's kind of weird, but...

The entire tomb shakes, in response to a light tug. Cracks splinter the ceiling, as parts of it dislodge themselves, falling to the ground in an enormous cacophony. As they do, they assemble into their intended shape - an immense scorpion made of stone and debris. ]

I... I think I found it.

[voicetested]

... ah. Yes.

[ Wonderful. Just wonderful. A giant stone scorpion is exactly what she needs to be fighting right now. With a sword and all. Thank goodness for magic, honestly.

She hums under her breath -- a soft, drawn-out note that makes a dim spark light in her eyes. Just enough to make her a little more resilient, a little stronger and faster. She'll see what else they need once they actually start trying to take this thing to pieces. ]

How is it animated? Is there any way we can get it to drop its form?

[voiceboxed]

[ Acting on reflex, Elodie casts out a half dozen threads to try and restrain the scorpion, but it snaps them almost effortlessly as it advances towards the closest threat - Alalia. They're threads, not chains, so of course she'd lose in a direct confrontation of power. ]

I've never seen a golem in person! I don't know what to look for!

[ Panic is an adventurer's worst enemy. ]

[voicetested]

Shit.

[ She spits the curse out under her breath and skitters away from Elodie to try and draw the scorpion's attention away from her. Elodie's far from defenseless but Alalia isn't about to let her test herself on something like this.

She has her sword draw and, still darting about to keep the golem's attention, calls out - ]

Something must be animating it! An energy, a binding spell of some kind -- there has to be something to dispel, especially in a golem this old!

[voiceboxed]

This shouldn't be possible! There's no way something this big and old could run on this little magic autonomously... unless...

[ Calm down, Elodie. You've never met a golem before, but you've studied as hard as anyone.

... ]

...It's not intelligent! It has to have some simple principle dictating how it acts, like pursuing heat, or movement! We should be able to trick it!

[voicetested]

Right--

[ That's all Alalia gets out before that gargantuan tail comes down about an inch from where she's standing. Rock and debris spray out, skimming the exposed skin on her hands and face and she staggers back, choking on the kicked-up dust. ]

Keep-- keep stock still where you are unless it comes for you and we'll see what draws it!

[voiceboxed]

Okay!

[ Elodie freezes, straining to not move so much as a single muscle. Will it work...

The scorpion doesn't seem to even notice she's there. ]
