Poljen hears the sounds of fighting and magic attacks going off, and decides that staying in his current position is a waste of his strengths. He dashes to his right and just as he steps out of the fog he finds himself next to an enormous snake (Or snake-creature). He doesn't hesitate and begins to attack. But as he does so he says to the others, "Bringing that thing low might simply mean defeating it, or even knocking it over. But I have no idea!"
Out of Character: : For the moment, I am holding off on Raging. And therefore no Reckless Attacks.
Tazskan, extends his hands towards the tall metalic creature in the center.
He unleashes, two eldritch beams at the creature aiming for one of the orbs.
Meanwhile, the earth elemental, continues his attack against the creatures attacking Cratol. Using slam attacks against them.
Out of Character: Thanks Dai, for clarifying the use of Tazskan's invocations in the Q&A thread. In particular the invocations, that would normally use a spell slot. So to recap, here so that I'm on the same page. The "Minions of chaos" can be cast once per day, without costing a spell slot. But being cast at the default level, not at a higher level. Minimum level, is 5th anyway?
So unless Dai wishes to modify the current earth elementals stats (Which is his perogative) will continue attacking as is. Oh except without using a club, and using his bare hands. Unless Tazskan, has received damage and hence fails a concentration check, the elemental will continue.
I forgot to roll the elementals initiative will do that here.

Perry responds to Velon, "I'm not sure, Velon. I think we need to take the golem to the window, and then to the wall."
The bard ponders the puzzle some more, "Maybe dig a hole under it with Geode 2.0? I'm also okay with killing it!"

Calling out from where he operates, Lawrance says "I don't know Velon. If it's literal, then we need to knock it over or drop it down somehow. If it's not, then defeating it seems the most likely interpretation! I was hoping that bowing at it would make it bow back or something, but that was a uninformed guess. We know grey makes weapons, and blue makes spells and we haven't see any other colours, yet. Maybe there is a colour that causes it to shrink?"
Lawrance casts dispel magic. It doesn't seem to have an effect, but a translucent red sphere appears and begins to orbit above the constructs head.
Velon snaps off a firebolt, burning one of the hound archons about to strike at Cratol. He moves onto the grey circle. The construct pauses and begins to reform the weapons it had before. All of the things conjured by the construct begin to disappear, though they retain their substance for a few moments.
Mari and Cratol tackle the archon wounded by Velon together, The young rogue misses, but gives the monk an opportunity to land several blows. Seemingly out of nowhere, an earth elemental joins the fray, but it misses its target. The archons respond in kind, striking the elemental twice and Cratol once. Morgaine shoots the wounded archon, putting it on the ground a few moments before it disappears.
Perry flies up and attempts to inspire his comrades, but few are in a position to appreciate it.
Poljen dashes out of the dissipating fog and strikes at the strange creature, scoring a gash on its side. It tries to bite him in turn, but misses.
Lia attempts to banish the thing, nothing seems to happen, but a second red orb appears above the construct. This one however does not remain long, fading back out of existence a moment later.
The construct swings the huge maul in its hands, catching Morgaine in its path. The warrior is flung bodily to the side, badly injured.
A pair of massive crossbow bolts are fired as well, one of them clipping Poljen just enough to spin him around, Perry narrowly dodges the other one.
Out of Character: Cratol takes 11 damage. Morgaine took 39 and ended up at X16. Poljen takes 18. Fog, Grease, archons, and linnorm have all disappeared.

Narrowing his eyes to peer at the red globes, Lawrence ponders on their significance as he throws a ice bolt at the creatures lower crossbow hand, attempting to disarm it. “That may be the key! Those globes may count our effectiveness in some way, until it shuts down when it reaches a certain number of them. It’s absorbing energy and creating the red globes. That could be good or bad if it creates enough!”
Specific Action: arcana to try and figure this out. I’ll edit if needed.

Poljen glances about as the big snake vanishes, then staggers from the giant crossbow bolt. He growls, and can feel the urge to slip into Battle Madness inside, but for the moment holds off still.
"Velon, Lawrance! Do you wish me to attack the Guardian directly? Maybe if I hit it hard enough I will get a red ball, too! Or should I just fight whatever it summons?"
Out of Character: : Holding off posting overnight to see if anyone has a better idea for him….
