Endemerrin glances at all the chaos going on around him before taking in a deep breath and letting out a long sigh. Between random appearances of old acquaintances, a tumbling Roegadyn, and strangers popping up out of the brush, it seemed as though they were already running out of space for all the insanity. "And they think I'm a nutjob~" He mused to himself as he nodded towards Xenedra.
"I suppose we can split up to cover more ground. Xenedra can lead one group, and I'll head the other. You guys go ahead and.." He wiggled his fingers at the group. "...figure it out amongst yourselves. I'm going to take a peek inside." Endemerrin shrugged his shoulders and strolled off into the large, open foyer of the deepcroft. Two large metallic statues sat perched inside, both heavily worn, rusted, and covered in moss. One wielded a massive greatsword, and the other an equally large axe.
"Huh, I don't remember these being here." He shrugged to himself. "Well, I guess it's been five years..."
He wandered up to one of the statues and rapped the back of his hand against it's leg a few times, cocking his head curiously as it gave out a dull, hollow bang that seemed to reverberate throughout the entire "statue", followed by a strange creaking noise. "Huh. That's odd." Again, he rapped on the statue, listening closer this time to the strange noise. There was a brief pause after the initial clank, and the creaking noise once again filled the air. "I don't-..." His gaze slowly traveled upwards just in time to see the statue was now staring down at him.
And it was moving.
"Oh... oh, okay. Right." He rambled to himself. "Of course it's alive. That makes perfect sense."
A resounding crash thundered out through the deepcroft as it's axe came crashing down at Endemerrin, who managed to dive to the side at the last minute. The same creaking and straining of metal began to ring out from the other side of the deepcroft as the other Dullahan began to spring to life.
"We have company!"
Endemerrin snapped his Sphairai off his hips and charged forward in a blinding flash, slamming into it's leg with his shoulder and causing a considerable dent. The Dullahan responded by sweeping it's axe down across the ground, catching Endemerrin and flipping him upside down. Without so much as skipping a beat, the Monk landed in a handstand and swept his legs down to build momentum before whirling himself up at the giant. He slammed his foot into the leg again, leaving another large dent in the already fatigued metal.
