Nuzej smiles grimly as the elf mage dissolves. He turns his attention to the golem that seems less-beat-up. He tries to grab it telekinetically and move it into the sphere: 6
Straining, and sweating with the effort before giving up, he turns to Toc and vaguely shrugs.
Now that he has something to hit, everyone takes a moment to pause in mid-combat and notice how the massive dragonborn seems purely in his element. Where he usually is mild mannered and quiet...meek almost....and though light on his feet, his girth makes him feel a bit unwieldy through the busy streets and in tap rooms, instead in combat he transforms. The powerful muscles rippling beneath his skin bulge through making his size seem due to the pure amount of muscle bunched on his heavy bones than anything else. His motions become smooth, like a dancer, using his body and momentum in perfect symmetry to deliver blows that would crush most any normal creature. Even this golem....the pinnacle of all golems that this magical world can create....is no match for him. His first blow comes from a full 360 swing...the golem stepping forward at just the wrong time, thinking his back is turned...****y to feel the full wrath of his hammer blow to its left shoulder. The whole side is crushed into a dented mess, the arm pinned. But he's not done, using the momentum of the hammer falling away, his swings it down, back, then up and over his own head and brings it crashing down onto the head of the metal golem. The golem's legs buckle, and the whole frame begins collapsing.
Then something strange happens.
The metal body explodes away....as if it were made of paper mache....the metal suddenly vanishing....a splatter mark of golem bits across the floor....revealing what the creature truly was all along, hidden beneath a polymorphed shell....instead you are all faced with a tall but slender woman....with a lithe muscular body....dark grey skin....wearing a sheik grey dress with delicate silk....however her face....her face is fearsome to behold...with white eyes and hair made of snakes.....that writhe and twist.... a medusa!
Mirica's turn.

If there ever was the need to push someone into the disintegrating sphere - it was now. "Do not look!" (Mirica did understand that it can be as fruitful as "do not think about white ape" thing but hoped people in the room were trained enough to sense danger and would heed the warning.)
Unfortunately, Mirica herself was not that good at pushing. The only helping move she could think about was summoning more friendly spirits:
This post has potentially manipulated dice roll results.
Mirica, unfortunately, doesn't know the Medusa is going to appear, and so fully gazes upon it as it does so, before realizing she should look away. (DC 14 Con Save please).
Toc is looking up and gasps before trying to look away....11.... Toc's body shimmers and is suddenly solid gray and frozen as he turns to stone.
Tic curses...but seems far enough away he doesn't get affected....he looks down at his feet and rushes forward, and turns his back when he reaches Fianna, and casts invisibility on both of them. "This will keep you safe from the bad lady...."
(waiting on results of Mirica's safe for the Medusa/Golem to take their turns)
The medusa grins at Chen, it's shoulder badly bruised from his hammer strike...and lunges forward, a short sword in her hand lashing out at him.....but compared to the golem her strikes are like insect stings.
Attack: 21 Damage: 3 Attack: 21 Damage: 7
Then the snakes on her head lash out at him.
Attack: 8 Damage: 5 + 16 poison damage (which he ignores thanks to the feast).
Meanwhile, the other golem is assaulted by the spirits, 5 but continues trying to slice up Mirica with two massive sword strikes...
Attack: 15 Damage: 23 Attack: 31 Damage: 24
And of course I forgot bane .... scratch that....Mirica has cast a new concentration spell so Bane is gone! scratch that since it's a weird ass magic item!
Medusa on Chen:
- 2 short sword attack 1.
- 4 short sword attack 2.
- 4 snake head attack.
Golem on Mirica:
- 1 sword attack 1.
- 1 sword attack 2.
Everyone can go. Chen, make a Con DC 14 save to start your turn.
(If you are attacking the Medusa and averting your eyes, then take disadvantage on your attacks....)
The golem was now a medusa. Toc the Younger, now a statue. He tried not to look at the new monstrosity, following Mirica's advice. But he did reach out telekinetically, and attempt to grab the medusa and throw it into the sphere.
The medusa turns her gaze on Chen. The 'gaze' considers the size of the target, contemplates how much effort all that flesh-to-stone is going to take, remembers it isn't getting paid by the hour, and decides "yeah, nah!".
Chen meanwhile is so furious at these creatures that won't die or won't stay dead! He just wants to keep pounding the golem-medusa, to hammer it until it's dead and then to keep hammering it until the hard bits have all turned soft and the soft bits have all turned runny and there's isn't anything left at all except a vague memory and a rather-hard-to-locate wet patch...
Unable to do anything in this fight to help, having obvious enemies, friends she’s no longer sure of, and absolute strangers all around... I think Fianna might take advantage of her current, sudden, totally from nowhere invisibility to glee the room and try to find somewhere quiet and safe to hide...
The Medusa is pulled at by an invisible hand of Nuzej's magic...but she manages to break free of it's pull. But a moment later Chen's massive hammer smashes it in the chest, and cracking sounds run through it's body....but before it can gasp in pain the hammer comes around again and strikes it's head, the snakes being mashed into the bone, which caves in letting all sorts of unpleasantness out......and it drops like a sack of potatoes. But like, a sack of potatoes, shaped like a woman, with snake for hair.
Mirica, robbed of her target....looks to the last remaining opponent...the golem that has been slashing at her....
(Mirica: Roll concentration check for your spirits please.)
Mirica, her fingers still sharp like an animals...her face taken on a beastial slant to it, attacks, her nails grinding across the metal with a high pitched screech.

The last golem swings two more times fiercely at Mirica once more..... Attack: 20 Damage: 22 -4 to it's hit from Bane. Attack: 21 Damage: 26 -2 to it's hit from Bane.
Everyone may go against the last golem. I will resolve attacks in initiative order, not as posted, FYI.

Chen isn't convinced that the dead medusa isn't going to just stand up again or turn into something else, but for now it is unmoving on the floor and there is another golem still standing. If this golem wants to transform into something else, then hopefully it's a large flat sheet of iron.

Nuzej, still stunned that Toc is a statue, and while he's glad that the large barbarian gentleman came through, he's frustrated his fancy spell fell through again. He steps forward, about 20-25 feet from the golem. He can't get close enough for the spell he wants to cast, but he reaches forward and a ghostly hand shoots for the golem's neck.
