Gogon smiled. Sure, they were constructs, but at least they were falling fast--the big challenge would likely be next!
Again maneuvering toward his opponent, he spun into a low kick as he approached, the followed up with what could only be described as a jumping uppercut, determined to knock the creature as high as he could.

The double hits seemed to have done serious damage. On the last hit Yuno grabs the tentacle that slammed into her and uses it to launch herself at the star. She lines up her flaming rapier and strikes out with it against the star's core. Then twirls her other rapier in her hand to switch to a ice-pick grip before slamming the sharp tip into the star.

Between Gogon's low kick, Yuno's flame rapier and Sythm's bolt connecting, the drone collapses to the ground and disappears into smoke, not even having enough time to spark or smoke having been taken down too quickly. Instead of pillars rising, a sack of coins appears in front of you containing 300 GP.

Three doors also appear in front of you, the one in the center has the image of a four pointed star that is glowing with extraordinary brilliance. The door on the left has an image of a breastplate with a small gleam to it, and the door on the right has the image of a golden sack of coins, glowing dimly (resembling the door you just came through).
Chan places his gold in his pouch, setting aside some for the group as well. He then says, “Yes, the boss, but first let us rest just a short bit. We must be ready.”He then casts Prayer of Healing for 8
((I know only two are hurt, but this is the most effective heal I have by far, and this should help us be ready for it. After this it’s really only healing word to keep us up.))
"Thank you, although that wasn't such a grave wound. The boss room sounds like the plan then." Says Sythm as he opens the door to the boss room, not bothering to stealth in. "I'd really like more natural room, voice, if you hear me."
Unfortunately, the voice doesn't seem to acknowledge Sythm's plea (at least yet) as when you walk into the next room, Yuno, Gogon, and Chan each feel a separate tugging sensation as they find themselves on opposite sides of a miniature room. In the center of the room, a deactivated clay warrior stands, and as soon as you enter the room (or are teleported in) the gladiator lifts it's armored head up and raises its spear and shield to the sky. With a thunderous clap of energy, the warrior crouches into a ready stance as its red eyes flair with animated magic. The walls of the room are made of a hardened metal and there are small heaps of scrap metal in each of the corners of the room.
(Oof. Btw, just in case you thought it is, that comment isn't meant to you. It's really just the small bit of roleplaying that I manage to put on Sythm, considering he's a Wood Elf and all...)
Sythm takes a moment aiming his heavy weapon so he's sure the shot is aligned before releasing the bolt. He's not sure what a clay-made creature's weak spot would be, so he aims for the head, assuming it's like a human... if it even has a weak spot.
The heavy weapon is very unwieldy, and Sythm almost misses his shot, but his bolt smashes into the side of the creature's helmet and knocks a chunk of clay off. The attack looked like it hurt, but the gladiator now turns to Sythm with its glowing red eyes and they seem to almost flare with energy as he assesses the threats in the room.
Yuno is up next!

Yuno moves in between the clay warrior and Syth (Move to U19). She twirls her flaming rapier, the flames flickering as it moves through the air. She scans the warrior for possible spots where she could strike. She swings her rapier at its head to disorient it as well as cause it pain as she puts most of her force in a powerful lunge with her flame tongue to pierce the clay warrior's chest.

The gladiator takes its spear and smashes Yuno's flame rapier out of the way with such force that she almost drops it, but barely managing to hold on, she swings her second rapier towards its head and it connects, chipping off a bit more of its helmet. However, the construct's intelligent eyes flare as it immediately assesses your weaknesses and charges around Yuno to take three vicious stabs at Sythm.

Yuno gets ready for a counter attack only to have the warrior run around her. "HEY! Don't Ignore me!" She says as she gets in front of the thing again (Move to T20). This time she feints with her normal rapier before quickly lunging with her Flaming rapier. She follows up the stab with a sideways swing of her regular rapier. Finally she ends with a second flaming stab to finish off the 3 hit combo.

(I'm probably not going to get advantage often, but at least I can force it to give y'all AoO.)
Sythm uses the distraction created by the others' attacks to quickly move away from the creaure. Then, he aims his crossbow at the clay monster and releases a bolt.
"Son of a hag!" spat Gogon as the construct moved away from him toward his companion. He lashed out toward it's back, but seeing it wouldn't stop, he pursued. Closing in, he leapt, surprisingly high, and somehow managed to spin fast enough to attempt three kicks toward its head!
MOVE: To T-18 - All attacks this turn will be Acid Damage ACTION: Unarmed strike - Attack: 10, Acid Damage:5 BONUS: Using Flurry of Blows - 1st bonus unarmed strike - Attack: 8, Acid Damage: 6 - 2nd bonus unarmed strike - Attack: 18, Acid Damage: 5 REACTION: If opportunity, unarmed strike--a spinning back kick - Attack: 22, Acid Damage: 5
Gogon's palm strike to the back of the construct's throat is caught by his shield as he whirls around and the palm strike slams harmlessly into the shield. However, furious that the construct blocked his first attack Gogon launches into the air and as he spins three times. Each time his foot connects with the construct, it tears a huge chunk of clay of off of the head of the construct, although it appears to still be standing.
