We Sons Of Daley [Manhattan Blues]

Instruct your men to recover Jolson and do whatever shields and wards they have.

"Armstrong, get Jolson out! Alice, can you-?"

"Hmph. Way ahead of you."

Fill up your slots with Physical Increase powers, quietly crystallize a golem, and get punchy.

Well, that first part's already done. The second part is now coming up. You pick one that's sort of damaged already and it starts FREEZING UP OBEDIENTLY when you TAP IT. Your second attack is not NEARLY SO FRIENDLY, and leaves it ARMORLESS, as well as giving it a nice, shiny new bit of DAMAGE.

Shewson, seeing the HURT you just put on it, knows exactly what to do, and points at it. Because you're a psychic now, apparently, you can see him trying to SHATTER the thing and it rustling up what little PHYSICAL RESISTANCE it has left to COMPLETELY COCK-BLOCK HIM.

Alice holds out a hand towards Jolson. Shadows seems to swallow his form for a moment. "He'll live."

Jolson COMES TO.

Armstrong starts DRAGGING JOLSON OUT BY THE SHOULDERS, not even BOTHERING to see if he's CONSCIOUS.

Well, at least now you have their ATTENTION. The one you were concentrating on decides it doesn't like you and tries to make sure you're TAKEN OUT. It doesn't QUITE succeed- my GOD that was FAST- but for the moment, you're OKAY. A second one trundles up to you and similarly MISSES.

The third one tries to stop ALICE. You're certain she hasn't set up a shield or anything, so this COULD GET PAINFUL for her-

... Apparently, a SHIELD in the shape of THREE GOLDEN TRIANGLES UNDER A SEPHIROT LIKE A MOONLESS, STARRY SKY blocks the blow, casually. You can even hear the loud DOINK over the other sounds of SEVERAL TONS OF METAL STOMPING ABOUT. Wait, what?

Eh, it doesn't matter, TIME TO FINISH THIS UP. The one you've been striking is so FRAGILE at this point that it LOSES WHAT LITTLE ARMOR IT HAS LEFT, and seems to be so PUSHED BACK as to not be making any MOVES this round.

So why not make it two? Despite the soft touch you give it, the entire GOLEM shudders as the cold and DAMAGE move through it. You take a moment to MOVE BEHIND IT. You know by now that it only matters to AVOID ITS ATTACKS since they just SIT THERE AND TAKE IT, but you'll take ANY ADVANTAGE YOU CAN GET at this point.

Shewson finally tries something different! Or... You thought he was, but instead he's being REMARKABLY FOOLISH. What is he even DOING!? You have no idea, but it looks PSYCHOKINETIC.

Alice looks like she's CHARGING UP. This could get MESSY, if she doesn't manage to finish before the GOLEMS are done SMASHING.

... Okay, this guy? Moving around? This is PATHETIC. You SMASH him again, a few times. Hm. This one seems like it's managing to HOLD UP pretty well, actually- it took you TWO HITS to BREAK ITS ARMOR. "Whatever finger-wavy thing you're doing isn't working, Shewson! Try something else!"

That shield just keeps TAKING HITS like a CHAMPION.
