The gladiator succumbs to the tolling of bells, and although it appears to taking the damage the overall effect seems to be mostly negligible to this point as it steps forward to plunge his spear into Gogon 3 times. As it turns around, however, it is met with a triplet of blades in its back. Unfortunately, only her second blade seems to make any effect and chips off a chunk of clay. However, without the time to properly aim, Sythm's bolt meets the same fate as Yuno's flame rapier as it pings harmlessly off of the creatures helmet.
Again, only the first attack seems to be able to get past the quick monk's defenses as he easily dodges the second and third spear. However, the first one leaves a throbbing pain where it connected with him.
Gogon is up next! (Although you may all queue your turns!)
Seeing how effective the others are here, compared to his own attack, Chan hopes that the creature will not be able to dodge the light. His shield then glows attempting to light up the gladiator making it easier for the others to attack.
(OOC: This will go into effect after Gogon's turn so Gogon shouldn't roll with advantage even if this fails, I'm just going to sleep soon so I wanted to queue this up so it wouldn't delay anybody else's posts)

Yuno keeps trying to break down the construct. "Just... Die Already... So I Can... Kill Real Things!" She says between each lunge. She tries to break the clay off the construct with her rapiers. She flips both rapiers into an ice-pick grip and repeatedly tries to break through the Clay's back like breaking stones with picks.

Gogon growled from the pain in his side, but otherwise said nothing. Focusing intently on felling his foe, he once more lashed out at the creature, using his spear mainly for feints as he turned into a blur of polearm thrusts and punches.

Gogon's first thrust is parried by the shield of the gladiator, but both his second and third strike slam into the construct chipping away at its defenses. Meanwhile, Chan holds up his shield to shower divine light on the target and make it easier to hit, but the gladiator nimble dodges out of the way. Sythm, even with careful aiming, accidentally bumps his arm against the wall of this miniature room right before he releases and the bolt slams into the wall inches from Yuno's face missing the gladiator entirely. Yuno meanwhile, with practiced movements, switches the grip on her rapiers and begins chiseling away at the back of the construct. The construct appears to be taking the damage, but is not at all fazed and continues its assault on Gogon.

Yuno continues to jam her rapiers into the back of the gladiator's neck, making clanking noises each time the metal tip hits the hard clay exterior of the construct.

"Really tight here. Like a complete opposite of the previous time. Well, this entire floor seems to be this way." He aims his crossbow again, being extra careful about his elbow and the wall.
Steady Aim. Attack: 10 Damage: 15
Forgot to apply advantage. Here's a roll with advantage, counting the second and third dice. 18 Looks like the first was still the highest.
Breathing heavily now, Gogon tried to quickly think through the situation. He was fairly confident he was faster than the construct, but there really wasn't enough room to run from it and force it to give chase. And despite the massive damage the thing had received, it was still fighting on.
This had become a battle of attrition.
The halfling smiled. "That's some nice, shiny armor you've got there, friend!" he said as he hopped side-to-side, feinting before spinning into a kick that had no chance of connecting. "You've got to tell us how you keep it so clean!" He didn't think the construct was actually listening to his words, and had no idea if it even could... but he at least hoped his continual feints and banter might keep its attention. He'd play the defensive game, giving his teammates the chance to bring it down.
He hopped in place, bobbing and weaving while looking for the occasional opening where he could safely fake an attack. He desperately hoped his luck would last long enough.
ACTION:Dodge - attacks against Gogon are now made with disadvantage BONUS: None REACTION: If opportunity, unarmed strike--a kick - Attack: 11, Acid Damage:8
This thing is tougher than it seems. The clay seemingly just absorbing more and more and more of their hits. Chan decides to try faerie fire one more time, hoping that it can help his companions land their attacks.

As Gogon slips into a much more defensive stance, the construct does not appear to be baited into attacking him, although the construct's eyes glow much more intelligently than you would imagine, and it is not distracted by the feints enough to miss the spell cast by Chan and the gladiator quickly steps out of the way of the Faerie Fire. The feints do seem to distract it from Yuno and Sythm who together manage to land three powerful blows against the construct that is now finally beginning to look weathered. Recognizing that Gogon's defenses have been put up, the construct turns back to Yuno and stabs forward with his spear three times.
Yuno easily manages to parry all of the strikes as the construct is clearly inefficient with its attacks and you all prepare for another round of assaults.
Gogon is up next! (Although everyone may queue their turns!)
Gogon's first kick connected with a solid thump, letting acid drip down the side of the construct and begin to corrode the clay, but he had lost too much momentum going around twice, and his second kick bounced harmlessly off of the construct's back.
Chan is up next!

“The mark of a successful DM is when you have caused more player deaths with doors than dragons, demons, or devils.”
Dodging two spear attacks, Yuno says, "Finally!" seemingly pleased to get the construct's attention. She strikes the spear away with her Rapier on the third attack and immediately counter attacks with her Flame Rapier. She notes the shield and decides to lunge upward to strike the construct at the bottom of its chin. She then retracts the other rapier closer to her body as she takes a step forward, getting very close to the construct and aims the lower part of its torso with a thrust.
Flame Rapier: 13 Dmg: 9 + 2 + 3 Fire BA Rapier: 19 Dmg: 5 + 2
The toll appears to affect the construct, although the damage is negligible and it lifts its spear up preparing to continue it's assault on the members of the party that are nearby.
Sythm's bolt just manages to sneak past the gladiator's defenses and punches a pretty wide hole in the chest of the construct. At this point, the construct is beginning to look weathered, but it still manages to parry both of Yuno's blows deflecting the second one with its spear. It then goes on the offensive whirling around to make its strikes against Gogon again. After its first strike takes Gogon down, the gladiator whirls back around and although its second spear misses Yuno, the third strike connects as well.
This post has potentially manipulated dice roll results.
Yuno grabs her bleeding arm and looks up at construct. Her eyes sparkle at the hole in the construct's armor and she shouts out, "Weakness!" She closes the distance that was created thanks to getting knocked back by the spear and makes lunges, lining up the tip of her rapiers with the cracks already created in the armor by Sythm's bolt. She hopes to break through the construct by repeatedly striking at the damaged parts of it.

Seeing his arrow missing, Sythm takes more time to aim his attack. "It's not comfortable for an archer in such a small room."

"Rubbish!" snapped Gogon loudly as the construct turned towards Yuno.
So that's how it was. Well then, it was time to go all-in.
With a "ki-yaaaah!" the halfling leapt into a double-spin kick, trying to punish the construct.
