Torrent (Gillian) (-)
You sever your snake's base from the ground and watch as it goes flying at the gargoyle. It collides with the enemy at the exact same time that a blast from John's gun hits, and then there's a colossal blast of light accompanied by the sound of rushing wind.
You seem to have passed out for a bit, but your senses have returned now, and besides the fact that you're suddenly on the ground, along with John and pretty much everyone else, not a whole lot has changed.
Ociamarru (Nikolai) (11 + 1 = 12)
"Naught een moy loyftoym!"You roll forward to the edge of the gargoyle's hand, pushing off in a fancy handstand launch which sends you spinning in a series of frontflips high above the gargoyle. Just before you impact him, a stream of rocks and a beam of white light hit the very spot you're aiming for, and just as you strike, your senses erupt into a flurry of activity.
Lights dazzle your eyes, and your body feels distant. Some amount of time passes - a second or a year, you don't know, but you groan and lift your head to find that you're much further from the gargoyle than before... and the damn thing is still standing!
caekdaemon (Anderson) (8 + 4 Rush = 12)
You ubercharge your weapon. UBER. CHARGE. You swear, you can feel the laws of physics screeching and whining as they are threatened to be torn asunder by the power that this little hammer is about to unleash.
Without any warning, light assaults your eyes, and you feel the sensation of something rushing past you body. Your grip on your hammer is the only thing that you're aware of for a while... and then your vision returns, and you see that the gargoyle, unharmed, and you, are the only ones still on your feet.
CaveCricket (Raphael) (5)
"So much for 'Unfaltering.'"You look around, and the only person near you that is easily reachable is Johni. You tap him on the shoulder and watch as two large EpicWings sprout from his back. Well, glad that works.
You're about to take off for the next party member when you're hit by a blast of something that also knocks out your vision. When it comes back, you're on the ground next to Johni. In fact, everyone is. Wait, no... Anderson is still standing. And so is the gargoyle.
Tokochiro (Johni) (3)
You attempt your crushination, (3 v. 4) but your weak strikes bounce off of the gargoyle every time.
Then suddenly wings come out of your back. Epic wings. Sweet.
Explosion. Not sweet. Your vision goes white for a bit, and you feel yourself hit the ground. When you can see again, you notice that the gargoyle hasn't moved, while you have. Several feet. Backwards.
Phd (John Adams) (9)
You aim the gun at the gargoyle's chest and fire away. A streak of white light hits him square in the glowing circle, and you see a flash of orange light before Nikolai's shadow covers it up.
Then you go temporarily blind.

When your vision returns, you're on the ground, and you feel a bit numb. The gargoyle is still there, standing where he was before, and so is... Anderson?

Events:After the huge explosion, the only ones standing are the gargoyle, and somehow, Anderson.
A few cracks appear on various parts of the gargoyle's body, but it remains on its feet. The patterns of light on its body are somewhat faded.
