Sif's scouting of the next room reveals to her a ceiling that has an array of spears sticking out of it. There is a hole in the ceiling closest to the girls' position. A wooden monkey jumps from each hanging trap and it appears to be wielding a dagger. Up ahead is a wooden owl sitting atop a perch next to a sealed door. The bird possesses blue eyes and is currently looking to the right. There is nothing else other than those three features.

"What do you see?" Riza whispers as she leans in through the door to catch a peek herself.

"Don't know why they'd do it. Unless one of the mamono did it when they were kicked out," Dravela whispers as she observed the downed construct.

"Move in front of the door Anri. I'll check out that room," Ikuna whispers. "Make it quick you weasly bitch," Rix mutters, annoyed with how much time they were wasting moving through these rooms. Ikuna smirks at Rix and says, "I'll be quick your highness."

She waits until the humanoid is looking away, along with the wolf. Then the Raiju slips into the room. Just then however, the rest of the group's attention is grabbed by the sound of growling. The wolf is glaring right at them, baring its metallic teeth. The construct next to it pulls the lever, and three of the bottom steps groan and lift away, revealing a dark opening. A slab of rock drops into the doorway behind them, preventing the group from backtracking.

There is the sound of rushing water, and a green liquid gushes into the room, inching toward the group. "What's going on?" Ikuna asks at the doorway carrying all three Holstaur potions. The morningstar appears to slowly melt into the fluid, more and more of it's shape being eaten away.

"Bloody hell! It's acid!" Despoina cries as she shoots up out of the stealth bubble in a panic. "Son of a bitch!" Rix growls as she watches the acid creep toward them.

The purple-eyed construct at the top of the stairs waves its hands around for a moment until an iron bolt forms. It uses both Despoina's sudden appearance and where the artificial wolf is glaring at to calculate the position of the group. Then it launches its iron bolt at them to not only attempt to hit one of them, but also force them to scatter.

The bolt grazes Dravela's shoulder and embeds itself in the wall next to a stunned Ikuna. Dravela hisses from the pain as she glares daggers at the construct who attacked them.
