The automata charged at them. Despite its imposing form and lifelike design, it lacked the feral instincts of a true monster.
Xander moved first, stepping forward with his heavy sword raised to intercept its claws. From the rear, Damon and Sylvia unleashed a barrage of arrows and magical projectiles. The automata staggered under the combined assault, its movements faltering as Sylvia's magic disrupted its internal mechanisms.
Before it could recover, Leona lunged forward, her mace swinging in a brutal arc that shattered its head with a deafening crunch.
The fight was over in seconds.
Xander frowned, staring at the lifeless automata on the ground….if it was even alive to being with.
"That was too easy. I expected more of a challenge."
Leona smirked, resting her mace on her shoulder. "Weak, but hey, I got 10 points."
Damon, standing a few paces back, nodded.
