[Prophet]

Fine let's go!

[daemen]

Concentrate really hard on that dagger we left behind.... Maybe it'll come back to us.

[flame99]

You begin concentrating on the Crimson Kris, willing for it to come back to you. Oddly enough, after a few seconds of concentration, you find yourself holding the red dagger. Another clear sign of your godhood, obviously. Cain either doesn't seem to notice, or has become desensitized to all the insane things you do. Probably both.
Confirming your reluctant clergyman's wild guess as correct, you heard north, to the giant stone doors. A few steps in, a particularly bright surge of light runs through a handful of the runes, and in a flash of dark purple light, two mounds of clay appear on the floor, and begin to rise, taking the form of a humanoid figure. They're both featureless, though a rune is carved into their foreheads. One's hand morphs into a blade, while the other stands behind it's partner as more runes spread down their arms, each pulsing in time with a matching symbol on the wall.
You reach for the Crimson Kris, while Cain hefts his pickax, seemingly reluctant to use his magic and waste the bottles of water. The bladed one rushes towards you, and stabs towards Cain, [10] just barely hitting him [4]. From the way it moves, it looks like these things can deal a lot more punishment than that, but are holding back.

Cyclone these fools.

[daemen]

Create an air shield with a sharpened edge, like a knife... Direct said "air knife" at the rune on the closer one's forehead. Not going for penetration... Just want to break the rune.

+1 ((This is either going to go really well or really really bad.))

[flame99]

You decide to try out a new skill, basing off of what you know from Air Shield. [-3 MP] Using the same technique to make the air tangible, you decide instead to compress it, and push it towards the enemy. It makes a "bullet" of air, [19][3] and quite handily obliterates the symbol. It obliterates a solid portion of the forehead, too, but who cares about the details.

Air Shot realized!

[14] As the symbol gets damaged, it flashes red before it's completely destroyed. It falters for a moment, and seems to become visibly more aggressive. It's movements seem faster, more sporadic, and it seems to move with more energy than before. It seems to "look" at you, despite not having any eyes, and begins to charge you. [15] [2] You begin to dodge, but the blade catches you anyways, though not as deeply as it might have. It doesn't seem to be holding back any more, though; that much is certain.
Cain, taking advantage of the situation, tries to bring the pick down on the golem, [5] but the iron tool proves to be too unwieldy, and the shot hits the wall near it. The rune it hits quickly glows blue, and the pickaxe bounces away from the wall.
The other golem, meanwhile, continues standing in place, though the lights running down the rooms are more frequent now, and have overtaken the wall symbols in speed.

Cyclone these fools.

OK. This now.

Cyclone these fools.

OK. This now.

You consider trying to use Cyclone to hit both of them, but they're far enough apart and the wind is centralized enough that they probably wouldn't really be effected much if you targeted both of them. If you do decide to go through with this plan, which one do you target?

[~Neri]

The one with runes on its arms. Disrupt that spell.

[flame99]

Ignoring the bladed golem trying to rip your everything out, you cast Cyclone, centered on the runed golem. [4+1 Weakness] It's heavily damaged, but it seems that since it doesn't actually have to concentrate on the spell (In fact, it can't, being a mindless golem), the spell isn't disrupted.
Your suspicions are further confirmed when a pulse of bright light flows down the runes, and a large blast of sound emenates forth. The light subsides, and you see that the golem's changed into a bulkier form, with two bladed hands.The runs remain, but they're permanently glowing with purple light. [10][4] A pulse of white light races down the runes again, but it seems like the magic power is too much for it, [2][1][2] and a large amount of the clay making up the golem falls, though the runes remain undisturbed.
Cain swings again at the golem trying to reduce you to a fine powder, [13][1+1 Location] and barely catches it in the back of it's head.
The golem doesn't seem to take notice, however, and continues attacking you. [1] Cain's pickaxe blow seems to have disoriented it somewhat, however, and the swing ends up nowhere near you.
