Having dealt with Shadowfang and Darkwing, the statues focused on Shinon. Their stony fists raised once again. Shinon's heart raced as he realised time was running out.
He needed to make a decision, even without a complete understanding of the consequences. With a mix of desperation and blind faith, Shinon chose another inscription at random, hitting it with the hammer again.
The symbol glowed brightly, and a surge of power pulsed through the chamber. The statues seemed to shudder, their movements momentarily faltering.
The statues seemed to lose their footing, their movements becoming sluggish. It was as if a veil of weakness had been draped over their towering forms.
A surge of exhilaration coursed through Shinon's veins as he realised that he had discovered the inscription that weakened the statues.
