Sivani
This thing feeds on the iron chains, not our blood. If I can shatter the link, the construct will collapse.
Sivani lunges toward the pulsating iron chain, ignoring the obsidian limbs thrashing in the dust. She slides across the cracked flagstones, reaching for a loose, rusted iron pipe amidst the bone fragments. Arion Touvengard pivots to intercept the next lash of the creature, his teal energy flaring to parry the massive limb.
Arion Touvengard
Sivani, stay back! The resonance will tear you apart!
Arion Touvengard
The host's arm is straining under the impact. If she disrupts the containment field now, this entire catacomb will fold into the void.
Sivani
Arion Touvengard, it is the only way to end this! Stop stalling and hold it steady!
Sivani swings the heavy pipe with desperate force, aiming squarely for the glowing, rhythmic core of the construct. The air hums with discordant static as her weapon descends toward the iron nexus.

Prevent the catacombs from collapsing
“"Try to break the chains restraining the creature while I hold the creature back" Arion begins defensivly stricking at the creature intent on preventing it from harming Sivani while she attempts to shatter its binding source.”
SUCCESS (Legendary Melee Combat, rolled +2)
Arion Touvengard surges forward, his movements rigid yet preternaturally precise. As the obsidian creature lashes out, Arion’s blade whistles through the air, carving a perfect arc of teal energy that shears through the creature’s binding chains with a sound like ringing crystal. Sparks of raw, displaced magic shower the chamber as the heavy iron links snap and recoil.
Arion Touvengard
It is tethered to nothing now. If it loses form, the explosion will be contained.
With the restraints severed, the creature shrieks, a sound of grinding stone and tearing shadow. Sivani seizes the opening, her iron pipe descending like a hammer toward the exposed, glowing nexus. The force of Arion’s strike leaves him staggered for a heartbeat, the teal energy flickering as it drains the host’s vitality. Behind them, the temple floor groans, the masonry beginning to buckle under the strain of the shifting catacombs.
