Baldwin is alarmed by this revelation. Having researched many religions during his time at the temple, he thinks back to the many scrolls he poured over in an attempt to recall something of this cult.
Ankita - Dust and cobwebs shroud an elegantly appointed bedroom. The bedroom contains a large bed, two end tables, and an empty wardrobe. Mounted on the wall next to the wardrobe is a full-length mirror with an ornate wooden frame carved to look like ivy and berries.
All - After Ankita and Summer have passed into the bedroom, Hofaen follows closely behind. Suddenly, the suit of armor standing in the balcony lurches, two red flaming orbs appear in the visor of the helm and it steps from its place against the wall toward Hofaen!
This unholy order of priests was founded centuries ago by Osybus, a mysterious figure of unfathomable ambition and evil. Osybus sought to use others’ souls as springboards to his own immortality. He forged pacts with any entity that would give him more power and delved into any eldritch secret that would prolong his life. He became a devotee of the Dark Powers and tapped into their immortal malice to fuel his apotheosis.

Zindarik takes a few steps, positioning himself so that only the armor will be struck by his breath weapon. A blast of icy air erupts from his throat and engulfs the armor...

Zindarik - The frosty torrent catches the armor fully in the breastplate, encasing it in a layer of sleet and ice.
AA CON Saving Throw: 19
The Animated Armor will swing a heavy arm at Hofaen, then turn and bring both arms down on Zindarik. The armor is slowed by the layer of ice covering it, missing Hofaen and instead slamming a gauntleted fist into the wall leaving a large hole. The attack against Zindarik connects, bashing him mightily in the chest with both fists.
Hofaen - Attack: 10 Damage: 4
Zindarik - Attack: 10 Damage: 4
Summer is up! Followed by Ankita, then Baldwin.
I was having nothing but issues with my last post so I deleted it, fortunately the results for this post were the same.

Ankita makes her way next to Hofaen and as her team surrounds this abomination, she wonders what other creatures are lurking around this house. And she blows frostbite at him: 4. (CON save of 13)

Summer - The skeletal hand drifts across the room toward the suit of armor. It latches onto the breastplate and the fingers dig into the metal with a SCREECH. Frost as black as midnight spreads from the hand and the fiery orbs inside the visor dim a bit as the necrotic energy weakens the animating magic.
Ankita - The animated armor is coated in frost but the flames in its visor flare brightly for a second, melting the frostbite away, causing it steam.
AA CON Saving Throw: 14
Baldwin - The javelin scrapes across the animated armor, drawing a shiny line across its surface but inflicting no damage. Your kick however connects solidly with the back, denting the breastplate with a CRUNCH. The animated armor falls to one knee, then stands again, though the fiery orbs in its visor flicker weakly.
Hofaen is up! Followed by Zindarik, then the Animated Armor.

Baldwin with two powerful flaps of his wings moves opposite Hofaen, flanking the suit of armor. He then twirls his javelin and lunges forth in one seamless motion. He immediately follows this with a roundhouse kick.
Hofaen - The warhammer strikes a ringing blow against the helm, ripping it free and ending the magic that animated it. The helm impacts the far wall and falls onto the stairs, clattering the whole way down. The rest of the armor falls to the ground with a CLANG.
"What in heavens was that?! Someone, or something, must have domain of this place. It must be the monster those children were so terrified of. *chip chirp*"
Hofaen breathes a sigh of relief as he begins to relax from his fighting stance. He looks over the fallen heap of armour to Baldwin, and gives a small nod in thanks at his timely engagement and distraction. He says to the party "This is a strange house indeed - hopefully no more of it comes to life and attacks us!". He opens the door to the west of him to see what else he may find.
