That was more than enough of a hint for Elium, and even though he didn't have much of an idea as to what was going on, he didn't waste any time in bowling off of whatever it was he'd been riding, cringing at the fall for a split second before scrambling behind a nearby rock. His eyes darted back to the shadowy figure now on the ground, still and lifeless with an arrow through their neck--sure, they'd get this sorted out soon, but apparently, it would be without that guy. Welp, this was certainly going to be entertaining.
Probably not in any way Elium could want, but at least it'd be something.

Reasoning that he'd have a much better shot at surviving if he didn't just charge into battle, Elium paused, momentarily sticking his head just a sliver higher in an effort to see a better way out...
...and that was when he saw a perfect, lovely opening. Slipping forward while the chance was there, he silently motioned for his companions to follow, one by one slipping past his opponents and leaving them behind as they moved on.

The hallway that presented itself seemed far too...simple to be anything good. Elium watched silently as one of the shadow figures picked up a pebble, tossing it ahead of them in a rather commendable display of cation--
--that triggered a veritable horde of traps.
Oh, that was fantastic.

Might as well make a run for it, anyway. It wasn't as if they had many other options here--it was either go forward, or turn back around and probably get killed by all those knights.
Needless to say, Elium bolted.
The resulting sounds weren't exactly pleasant, nor were they flattering.

Somehow, despite almost being killed a few times and managing to get one of the shades very close to death's doorstep, Elium made it through the tiled area, panting heavily and sporting a few new wounds. It went without saying that he wasn't a very happy camper at this current moment in time.
The Gauntlet pt 3 - Mystic Tiles Starting/Current HP: 20/40. Ending HP:4. The rolls:
The tile you step on gives way under your feet... and nothing happens. As you step on this tile, something wet sprinkles on you from above. Whatever it was, you feel better. Recover 15 HP. A tower of flame shoots up from the tile, badly burning you. Take 10 damage. CLANG! Something hard and heavy falls from the ceiling. You forget something. You activate a trap. Take 5 damage. You activate a trap. Take 3 damage. A companion reaches out and pulls you to safety! Nothing happens. As you step onto the tile, you are filled with a feeling of... elation...? Recover all HP.

One of the shades fell, and for a second, Elium reached out to them on reflex, stopping abruptly as he felt...rejuvenated. That was certainly odd. He couldn't stop to fret about them here--certainly not with that monster bearing down on them. Lashing out with his sword, Elium mentally crossed his fingers, hoping that he'd actually hit--
--even if it wasn't much of an attack, the blade still connected.

His next swing was a bit more solid, though by no means enough to really do an effective amount of damage. He'd just have to keep at it, really--at least he still had five of those shades to help him.

Elium rolled out of the way of one javelin strike, only to be rather soundly smacked with the Guardian's shield as punishment. Still a bit jarred from the impact, his sword didn't connect as well as he would've liked, leaving only a minor nick where a deep cut would've been preferred.

After recovering from the slam, Elium charged once more, this time putting more than a scratch in the thing's armor. If he could keep this kind of thing up, he might actually have a chance at taking the Guardian down...

...and just as soon as his confidence had blossomed, it wilted again after his next assault went wayward. To his credit, he had at least tried.

As if to add insult to injury, the Guardian dodged the next swing, leaving Elium falling facefirst into the floor. That was decidedly unfortunate.

Whirling around after pulling himself back up, Elium cut at the back of the Guardian's leg, smirking a little as his weapon left a sizable wound. It wasn't quite as good as his first heavy hit, but it would certainly do.

As luck would have it, Elium missed.
Again.

In his effort to scramble back into range, the masked figure just about tripped, sending his swing wide. On the plus side, it still hit.
