The first of the golems found the enterance, and stood in the threshold a moment. then took one step beyond, and another and soon they were lumbering out past the mines and picking up rock and stone and absorbing it, then rejecting it when it provided no magical fuel. they couldn't absorb wood they found, when one broke a branch and tried. but they kept moving, trying to find fuel. they needed fuel to make more to protect the mines, which was their 'home'.

Galesen sighed with relief, the place wasn't far that was good, because each time he moved it hurt a lot. So he was quiet all of the way to the city and then to the palace. Once in the palace he handed off everything that he brought with him to a servant and then looked at Luccan's mom, giving a small bow of his head before he followed her. "And I was just plainly shot in the butt." He didn't looked at Kyst when he said that, the sea elf didn't even apologize yet and that ticked him off. But it was better for Luccan's mother to look at the girl first, so he would gladly wait with the arrow in his butt a little longer.

Well from here hse looks fine, her breathing is steady and what not. Luccaydyn dear put her on the table over there would you?” Letting her son do such a thing before grabbing his chin to check him over. “Go get yourself a glass of hot water to drink, it will help. Kystraen if you would be a dear and put the meat in the serving area? And Galesen, it seems you are in need of one of my tables as well. Go on, face down.” Thusly she went about checking the girl over before waving a flower under her chin nose and she jumped awake. “There we are, right as rain again.”
"You get an unwhiny husband and maybe a little spoiling of your choice. Me winning is mostly for so, because then I know that you haven't completely taken control of my life and I can still wear the pants."
"Probably for that bes-" Of course since they were in the mining camp, which was directly around 100 yards from teh mine entrance in the valley of the mountains, rock things were hard to miss coming out of the place and trying to find thing. Of course him and Lhia being the only two sources of magic out here didn't help and since they didn't start acting up until he nulled the magic, he had a pretty good idea what was happening. "No time for getting clean." Thusly forcing himself to his feet. "I have an idea. Concentrate your magic, we're going to kite them in and the I'm going to literally drain the life out of them." 'Life' being magic from off planar elves, and he being a runemage, well...siphoning was always as good thing.

He was quick to follow instructions, carrying the meat the servants hadn't relieved him of and carefully placing it in the serving area. He returned to see Nessa sitting up and keeping a hand to her head. Letting Bellithiel tend to Galesen, he carried on a short conversation with the girl to figure out that the bird he'd grazed had been knocked off course and right into her which had caused her to fall from the platform she'd been on and slam into the forest floor. Nessa wasn't real happy with him and the two ended up in stony silence.
Lharika laughed and shook her head. "As if you ever whine. But I'll take the spoiling any day." She settled back against him, letting her body be caressed and held by the warm waves lapping at her. "Don't want your people to think you can't control your wife?" Quirking an eyebrow at him.
She was no more pleased to see the giant lumbering things coming toward them and she leaped up immediately, defenses at the ready. These were the things that had killed the other elves and one look at their massive rock bodies and it wasn't hard to see how. "They're going to come for us so we'll have to do it fast. Are you sure you're up to that?" But she was concentrating as she was talking, rolling her magic into a ball and then spreading it out like a web over the area, each strand harnessed through a powerful spell. Now all she had to do was sit and wait for them to come close enough to be caught in her magical trap. Then Ty could do what he was planning.

the lumbering one that noticed the two moved forward, but stopped just outside the net. it lowered it's head down and stared at the ground, before it's head moved to the elves and it's head moved directly toward were there was a linkstone. but it waited. squishy thing was full of food. but how would it get the food out. smashing the squishy things didn't get food. it just got red goo. of course...it never tried absorbing one before.
then came another one. and another one...the stood in a line by the first, the hive mind was trying to figure out how, or if, they could absorb the food filled squishy things.

Galesen didn't say anything, though he did give a small nod and wandered over to said table that was duly pointed out to him. Quietly he slipped off his coat and proceeded to lay down on the table, but getting on it proved to be troublesome as each moment caused a bit of pain to go throughout his body, but soon enough he was on the table face down, and there he waited for as soon as the arrow was out of his butt, the quicker things would be better for him mostly.

"Now now you two, don't fight. Kystraen isn't made for the woods after all, you can't really blame him. Nessa you're supposed to be watching out for yourself as well." Dissfusing those two she turned her attention over to Galesen. "Another victim of out of water elves." She laugh pleasantly as she adored the sea elf, despite his natural forest short comings. "May hurt a little Galesen." She scribed a rune on the arrow, more or less breaking the tip into pieces and easily pulled the shaft out before with a thin pair of long tweezers and runic sensing she picked out the arrow head pieces, and promptly rune sealed the wound. "There you are. Backside still will probably be sore."
Luccan meanwhile had come out of the kitchen to stand with Kyst and Nessa, drinking something that was steaming and was apparently helping him feel better as well. "Well...it was all unexpected at least?"
He only laughed at that questiong. "Can't control my wife? Come now, why would I try to do a stupid thing like that? You moon elves are about as aloof as our people get and trying to control you is nothing but a fight. I like to think that the people think that we know how to expertly compromise between one another. And when I mess up, I just buy you something pretty and apologize."
"I'll have to be, that's all there is to it." he watched the stone made creatures as Lhia more or less threw a webbing of magic over the area...it should divert their attention some at the very least. Perhaps enough to leave themselves open. However with his own mana-draining net over the place he was going to have to work giving her magic some help as well, otherwise it would just bleed off.
"It's probably not appropriate to say but...this is more than a little creepy." Referring to how the things were now watching him, lined up and obviously aware that they were harboring magic inate in their bodies. "Time for a diversion." Reaching over slowly he rested a hand on Lhia's shoulder...before scribing out a quick rune there, sending a jolt of his own magic into her body and more or less channeling it through her and into her own magic and thus the magic strands she had thrown. Hopefully they would try to go after those.

One bent it self over, and touched the ground where the netting was, and it's body took on some strange sheen as it started sucking up dirt and absorbing it like a vaccum, before it stood up and shook it's head. the food was on top of the ground, they couldn't get it that way. the others look between them. no words spoken but communicating all the same.
Then one focused in an the brigade master. it knew he'd forced magic into the other one. the others almost in unison turned their attention solely on him. his partner was forgotten. that eerie, echoing voice came from mouths that didn't exist.
"Feed."

"That may be true but it's still his fault." She rubbed her head and rested it back then gave a halfhearted wave to Luccan. "Unexpected and very painful."
"I said I was sorry. I...tripped and things happened..." Jerking his head towards Galesen who could be heard doing some protesting of his own.
"You hit him too?!" Nessa was incredulous and she was rather surprised to see Kyst's cheeks turn a very peculiar shade.
"I always thought it was silly but I won't deny that some moon elf males like to try. Part of the reason I married an arch." She giggled at his response and nuzzled him. "And that's why by year fifty I'll have a jewelry box full of goodies."
They should have sensed the magic and been drawn forward. If magic was what they were after, it shouldn't have mattered the strength or type. They'd been sucking up the rock's magic for goodness sakes. She felt the jolt and watched her own net light up like a shooting star then blinked as the things spoke. "Can't we just drain them where they stand? I can pick up my net and make it a lasso instead. I can drain them and channel the magic into you. Without magic...theoretically, won't they be unable to continue?"

Galesen sighed as he laid there on the table, it was embarrassing beyond words really. But he turned his head to Bellithiel when she spoke to him. "Alright." Then there was a sharp pain and Galesen let out a noise as he gripped the table. "May hurt a little!?" He echoed looking back at the woman, having an arrow head shatter in ones butt cheek does hurt a bit. But the rest of the procedure went well as he didn't feel much after the head was shattered. When the wound was seal Galesen sat up, being careful as he sat fully down on his bottom. "Well, it has been sore a few times before so that's nothing new, I'm guessing it'll pass in a few days, thanks." Galesen gave a small nod before he stood up and walked over to the others. "Well aside from something unpleasant to come up when I'm in reverie, everything is back to normal." Looking at Kyst and Luccan before turning his gaze to Nessa. "Hello, aside from the unusual way of meeting, I'm Galesen and you are?"

Bell gave a smile, watching him walk off and trying to hold in a laugh as he approached the other. But feeling generous she cleared her throat. "Galesen. Your trousers need mending."
"I suppose being wanged by a bird and falling would be painful. But at least you don't sneeze and explode blood on your friends." Giving a smile as the two argued somewhat some more. "From now on, we'll just have to let you use a spear. May prevent more accicdents."
"Oh so you married me because I lacked a certain sense of stupid? I think I'll take that as a compliment over anything else and just enjoy it." Giving her a hug to pull her tight up against him with a nuzzle as well before relazing again. "Maybe a few boxes."
"Okay....even more creepy." Nodding however, "That is indeed the working theory. I just don't know how these things may respond back because I didn't see that part. However...indirect routing is probably the best. You gather, I'll anchor them, and then we'll both try to bleed off and siphon on them. Try not to directly touch though. Save that for later."

"Feed."
and they started moving, moving directly to Ty..and once they hit magic that tried to bind them...they starting drawing on it like strands of spaghetti, feeding on it like a pack of starving dogs even shoving each away in some kind of pecking order.

"I'm...Nessa." An abrupt nod to Galesen before her attention was back on Kyst. "I think you should take his bow and arrow away and I wouldn't trust him with any other sharp objects either. I could have been killed, Luc."
If it were possible, Kyst's cheeks turned even brighter and he glared at the girl. "I'll have you know that I'm a very good shot with a spear. I could spear an apple on the top of your head at 100 paces, thank you very much."
"And because you have a very cute butt." She let him disperse affection and merely leaned into him, keeping her arms wrapped tightly around his neck as they floated there together. "Think you're going to screw up that many times, do you? Well, I wouldn't put it past you. But then I'm not perfect either. What do you get when I mess up?"
"Sounds like a plan to me." She watched the beings start to move and then glanced at Tyyrael in startled surprise. "Thinking along those lines now?" Giving a laugh and then reaching over and using her wind magic to send a bit of air at his buttcheek. Back to work, however, she waited for them to move fully into her web and then lifted her arms and crunched her fingers into fists as though she were crushing something. Her magic lifted and closed in on itself making a rather large, brightly glowing net. Some places were dimming as the things were able to suck from it. "We have to hurry, Ty. I won't be able to hold out if all of them start feeding from it as one." Focusing her own energy on beginning the draining process.

Galesen blinked at the words that he heard from Bellithiel and did his best to turn his head around to look at his pants. "Thanks for the warning, I'll fix them before I leave." He really didn't care at the moment, both Kyst and Luccan have seen him naked before, so it was not a big deal to him. A look to Nessa and he nodded before looking at the other elves. "I agree, at least then someone won't end up with a spear in their bottom since you don't have to notch it in a bow in order to actually use it." Looking at the sea elf with a raised eyebrow and a smirk before turning to Nessa. "No he is pretty good with a spear, even on land. I've seen him use it and it's one of the few weapons he can use very well."

"Could have been, but weren't. Remember we're the resiliant elves. We fall from scary heights and survive all the time. You should look at the bright side." Reaching over he pat at Kyst's shoulder. "Come on now, don't go changing weird colors. I'll think I'm hallucinating. This stuff can make you do that." Nodding to his steaming cup of liquid.
"That too? Well then I guess I'm lucky." Giving her a cocky smirk however, "I don't think I'll screw up that much, but I have to think ahead. Especially if you do end up pregnant and I have to cater to your every whim or face your wrath on a day to day basis. I'm cunning, like a fox. Me?You get to spoil me and I get to be lazy as lazy can be."
He couldn't help but chuckle some despite the situation. "You can't resist, can you." Watching the things however he gave another odded out look. "Creepier." However he held his ground for the moment to see what they were doing as Lhia was catching them off guard. "Don't let them at your roots."
Moving into action then himself and moving around the pack of golems, scribing runes as he went. One to dissolve through stoney bodies to rid of a few limbs and the like and another quickly following with a hand slapped down on one, throwing magic flow into reverse and siphoning out what one of them was storing. See if it worked first before issuing it on mass scale.
