Quietly, even for him, he says to Rezin, "Might be dwarfen mischief. Mechanical wheels and things, on a timer. Maybe they just move once an hour, or once a day."

He looks carefully at the table, wondering more if they are guarding something, like a hidden panel or so forth.

Stor-bten moves towards the statues, looking to see if there's any obvious operating mechanism.

All this movement and speech seems to energize the stone dwarfs, who abruptly lurch into eager and belligerent motion.
OOC:
At this juncture we're entering combat, and it's important that we know who is where - kind of. I have Stor-bten, Rijo, Rezin, up on the platform. I don't know where Ur went. @SatanicPanic has been offline ten days.

In the OOC thread I'm going to discuss the combat rules that we're going to use.

I'm going to run past the statues to get on the other side.

The stone dwarfs wield their axes:

one takes a swing at Rezin, doing 4 harm (Rezin failed his Defense roll).

two swing at Stor-bten, threatening 8 harm total.

one swings at Rijo, threatening 4 harm.

two chop at each other!

One thing I want to change about your *characters* :: start with 7 health vs 4. I will update sheets.

OOC:
Rijo's defense roll
Rijo tries to dodge the axe, and returns with a wide sweep of his own headsman's axe.

Stor-bten throws himself forward with his momentum, hoping to full clear the danger of the statues

The stone dwarf's axe thumps hard against Rijo's armor, the headsman feels the impact deeply. His own axe crashes against the moving stone, striking sparks and splinters of rock. There is a terrible cracking noise, as if something internal to his assailant has shattered.

Stor-bten passes between the two moving statues that try to chop him apart. Their axes collide with a terrible clashing sound. He is well clear of them, into the edge of the darkness.

The other two axe-wielders batter at each other, chipping stone and steel a staccato.

Stor-bten springs towards the statue that Rijo's splintered, trying to use his momentum and his understanding of centres of gravity to try and tip the contraption

OOC:
I think we're doing 'auto succeed but roll to avoid harm' thing.
Stor-bten hits the back of the surprisingly massive stone dwarf, it's about his own size but substantially weightier. Nevertheless, his impact is strong and the thing topples forward onto its face. It shatters noisily. Apparently it was hollow. A big puff of dust and little stone splinters rises and settles quickly.

The nearest stone dwarf turns and swings its axe right at Stor-bten!
OOC:
Make a DEX Danger Roll to avoid 4 harm. Shield lets you add AB. <- I will update buttons on your sheet. Light armor lets you ignore harm less than your lower die.

Attacking with the back of his axe, Rezin swings for the dwarf's arm.

The stone dwarf's axe cuts Stor-bten deep.

Edit to add: but the flesh dwarf keeps his wits and on his feet, ready to retaliate.

... its feet are heavy and slow but its body is solid stone, Rijo's big axe rings and chips against its torso.

Resin, seeing the stone dwarfs apparent disregard of his attack, smashes at the stone skull of his foe.

"Knock-em down! They can't walk if they's shattered!" Stor-bten shouts and moves towards the brute in a low crouch, standing to full height as he pushes upwards to push the statue over
