Marasatra’s shoulders slump the instant the spectral axe coalesces above the coffin. “Predictable,” she mutters, sliding her staff forward while her other hand closes on the quill-amulet at her throat. Bloodkind runes flicker along the ash-wood as she gathers a pulse of numinous energy, ready to lash out or knit Gorin’s wounds the moment steel meets flesh.

“Hold your guard, Gorin—this lesson in restraint carries a very sharp point.” She steps laterally to clear Arkon’s line of charge, eyes fixed on the whirling blade, calm and prepared for the fray.

"Clearing this place, means clearing everything right"

"There is clear and then there is clear...   I suppose tripping all the traps is one form of clearing an area."  Sarris grumbled as he prepared his bow - 'just in case.'

Mal is up

Informed by his mistress who herself barely sees what is happening back in the chamber with the roar and the sarcophagus, Mal decides that there is no point trying to fight ghostly axes and stays put for now. 

Marasatra presses a hand to Valeria’s shoulder and slips past, skirts hissing against the clammy wall as she rounds the corner toward the rubble heap. “Spread—don’t give that thing a straight line!” she warns, recalling every thunder-lance tale she’s ever filed. Drawing the scalpel across her thumb en route, she smears a quick sigil onto Ekko’s tiny brow; the bat streaks ahead, wings skimming the corridor, and fastens like a brooch to the cuff of Gorin’s trousers, spell-charge humming beneath its fur. Staff leveled, Marasatra hunkers behind the fallen stones, ready to loose power or patch wounds as the spectral blade bears down.

Move: S (difficult terrain passing Val), SW
Action: Ready Resistance versus slashing damage, to be delivered once Ekko is in contact with Gorin
Reaction: trigger ready action

Ekko's turn (After the axe)
Move: Fly to Gorin and latch onto his pants
Reaction: deliver Mara's spell. 

The ghostly axe swings itself at Gorin.

Axe Attack: 21 Damage: 8

Zim is up (Ekko's action has been enacted.)

The axes burst against the protective shield around Gorin (reducing Temp hp).

Quote from Virst >>

Zim is up (Ekko's action has been enacted.)

Zim will move up and use his magic infused +1 morningstar on the ghostly axe,

Zim targets Ghostly Axe, Morningstar1 Infused +1, Attack: 26 Damage: 15, sap on hit (disadv on next attack)
Action Surge and do it again
Zim targets Ghostly Axe, Morningstar2 Infused +1, Attack: 10 Damage: 12, sap on hit (disadv on next attack)

Sarris manuevers around to get a clean shot on the floating, attacking axe as Gorin and Zim engage.     As Sarris sets himself into position, he will put Hunter's Mark on the axe.    Taking a calming breathe and settling into his stance, Sarris let flies an arrow from his longbow.

To Hit:  14          Dmg:  6 pts piercing  plus  5 pts  force dmg for Hunter's Mark   for a total of 11 pts of damage.

PLUS  -  Weapon Mastery:  Longbow (Slow)

Slow. If you hit a creature with a Longbow and deal damage to it, you can reduce its Speed by 10 feet until the start of your next turn.

Sarris smiles as he pulls another arrow and prepares for his next chance to engage.

Both Zim's weapon and Sarris' arrow seem to just go through the ghostly axe with ease. While the axe shows no relative change, hard to discern how a weapon is feeling.

Watching the others' attacks seemingly pass through the axe makes Arkon tilt his head. Is the axe not the real enemy? The only other thing around is...

Arkon runs to the sarcophagus (avoiding the axe's range if possible) and tries smashing the skull.

Action: flail to hit 25, damage 9

Sarris grumbles... another perfect shot for naught.  His smile turned upside down after the arrow passes thru the axe with no seeming effect.   Cursing under his breath, he stows his bow and pulls ihis longsword.   "Clash and smash it is."

Arkon smashes the skull but the ghostly axe remains. It's focus is held onto Gorin.

Not really having any hopes of being able to affect it, Val still unleashes a hellish red beam of eldritch crackling force towards the axe.
Eldritch Blast: 18 Force: 12

"Ready to leave when you are." She mutters to herself.

Valeria's beam goes straight through the axe and collides with the wall.

Gorin takes a swing with the axe he picked up

12 to hit for 5dmg. And BA to give a burst of protective energy (12 temp HP for everyone within 10ft of zim. )

Does gorin think he needs to put the axe back? 

As asked in ooc, if possible gorin als gives the axe(battleaxe+1) to Arkon 

(Sorry for delay, grad week is making it busy.)

Gorin's new found axe swings straight through its spectral form.

(Well the first question is up to Gorin and yes, he can pass it as a free action via dropping it.)
