Taloum Well

Durgash, confused by Riley's words, decided to simply deal with the water elementals using brute force. "Stupid waters! Come fight Durgash!!!" With a yell, Durgash gripped his battleaxe and charged at the elementals. Blow after blow, he swung his axe, every strike containing an overwhelming force. Durgash didn't seem tired from the effort at all, he continued to wave his battleaxe around in all directions, pushing back the elementals, as if he were the wind commanding the waves on the beach.

The courageous and bold Orc was in for more of a challenge than he thought, while his blows would be effective in cleaving the Water Elementals apart, his attacks wouldn't deliver finishing blows. It sounded like a series of geisers were erupting as the elementals reformed themselves and surged toward Durgash, whenever they hit him it was like waves crashing down to wash him away, and with how many there were it would feel like he was wading in the ocean. If he chose to use the dust it would eliminate each elemental, but until then he'd have to endure the onslaught of water. Whenever a Water Elemental was taken out it would take some time for them to reform, but there were quite a few.

Riley and Cheesecake would have a easy time sneaking to the well, as Durgash's roars provoked all of the elementals in the area to pay attention to him. There were only 2 elementals immediately around the well now, one of the two had just recently formed after launching out of the well and splashing onto the ground. Now what needed to be done was find the trap and disable it. If the party has a way of detecting traps they'd find it at the bottom of the well.

Around the well area are some discarded weapons that guards and villagers had used to fight the elementals earlier and there were also some stone brick scattered around that were originally part of the well.

Riley looked out from behind one of the buildings at the two elementals standing guard.  He turned back to Cheesecake.

"Here's the plan,"  He whispered to her, "I can't do much to them but I can at least distract them.  I need you to go into the well and disarm the trap.  Think you can do that?"

Cheesecake nodded but began to chirp worriedly as she looked up to Riley.  He smiled and petted her head.

"CHances are there is something else down there but I know you're strong enough to handle whatever's guarding the trap.  I also know you can disarm it safely.  Not to put pressure on you, but you're our only hope here."

Cheesecake rolled her eyes and crossed her arms, chirping a snarky response back.  Riley poked her puffed cheeks and chuckled.

"I wouldn't send you in there if I didn't think you could handle it.  When I make a run for it, that's your cue to fly in.  Ready?"

Cheesecake nodded.  Riley returned the gesture and looked around the corner again, unlatching his scythe from his back and putting them in his hands.  Riley stood up and out in the open for the two water elementals to see before charging them both.  He raised the scythe's blade to his left side and above his head, looking to slash diagonally downward on whichever elemental was in his path.  Meanwhile, Cheesecake remain hidden until both the guardians were focused on Riley.  She floated in the air, a nervous look overcoming her face, trying to keep herself psyched up to go through with the plan.

Cheesecake took this moment to fly over the group and dive directly into the well. Meanwhile, Riley did his best to parry attacks. Slicing water blasts with is scythe, knocking tendrils away with the butt of his weapon, enduring the punch of each attack. His regeneration mitigated the damage, but Riley remained on the defensive being outnumbered. He regretted giving up the dry dust to Durgash, even moreso as he saw a water titan begin to form in the background. He sighed.

"No wonder I work alone..." He muttered before taking another punch to the face.

Cheesecake would find the magical mechanism at the bottom of the well. It had no other defence mechanism, relying soley on the elementals it made.

The two elementals combined themselves to form an above ground whirlpool resembling a small tornado and they spiraled aggressively toward Riley. He may notice that they are about to pass over some of the weapons and debris on the ground, once sucked up into the vortex they could come flying out.

The Water Titan clashed with Durgash once more, though it was much slower now that it was this big. It's final move it would attempt was with one of it's blows to suck the orc into it and pull him into its center so that it could try to drown him!

Riley did his best to keep the elementals at bay, but with no real way to defend himself other than his scythe, for every slice he did across the chest of one creature, two more would slam into him. His armor helped mitigate the damage but it was wearing him down to hold their attention for so long.

Cheesecake, on the other hand, was having troubles of her own. Now that she had found the device....she had no idea what to do. Attack it? Poke it with a stick? Sing to it? She tapped her chin in thought at what to attempt first before eventually pulling a pair of lock-picking tools from seemingly nowhere and going to town on the closest hole in the device, hoping to jam and disable it by shoving hairpins and metal sticks into it.

Durgash grins as the Water Titan dies, satisfied by his triumph. He is less satisfied, however, when the water it was build from flooded the streets, taking Durgash with it. "WAAAAAAAAAGH!!!" Durgash screamed again, a mix of panic and amusement in his voice. Durgash strived to gather his belongings as they were carried by the flow. Soon, though, the water thinned and Durgash was left on the cobblestone with his things. "Ahahahahaha! HAHAHA! Durgash DESTROYED foolish big watery! Now who clever to fight Durgash?!" Durgash rejoiced.
