OOC,I'm liking [b]Isolde[/b]'s fire idea. What skill would we use to smash a lit lantern on it?

Re: Chapter 7: Night Three
Vic watches in horror as the creatures smashes the shotgun to pieces with apparent ease. She still has the poker but can’t see an opening to use it that won’t expose her to mortal danger. She wished she had Lord Armstrong’s elephant gun!
“What are we going to do?!” she cries.

Re: Chapter 7: Night Three
Vic resolves to try and do something about the situation. She turns and runs off to the side, putting distance between herself and Icarus.
Once clear, she runs around behind him, trying to approach unnoticed, and stabs him in the back with the poker, where the white of bone gleams against the verdigris’d bronze...

The poker glances off the bronze armour of the statue.
Re: Chapter 7: Night Three
Isolde is desperate to help her companions who are in dire straits. If she can only distract the statue for a moment. She had heard Harry’s convoluted conversation, does that mean...? She shouts in her loudest, deepest voice,
“Christopher Lehman! This is Nicholas Forby here, why have you just woken me ? Why are you dancing around with those pointless people? Come here where I can see you!”

Re: Chapter 7: Night Three
Harry steps towards Icarus.We can help you Christopher, break this curse.'
'You don't need to fight us, we're here to help. We don't want to hurt you.' He takes another step forward.

“What’s going on?”
Isolde looks around to see George beside her. The noise has awoken him.
“Who’s outside?”
“AAAAAAAAAGH!!!”
The scream comes out of nowhere. Suddenly a slight figure has launched itself at the statue, bearing some sort of club. It strikes the statue directly in the back, causing it to topple over onto its front.
Old Fred stands dead still, a brutish-looking cudgel in his hands. His eyes are quite mad, and his teeth are bared in a ferocious grimace. Spittle flecks his cheeks, and he is breathing heavily.
The statue starts to push itself up again.

Re: Chapter 7: Night Three
Harry shouts 'Step away Fred'. He approaches the prone Icarus saying 'Christopher, we don't want to hurt you, but you must stop fighting us'.
Harry climbs on top of the green statue and seems to try and restrain its monstrous arms and head. 'There, there Christopher, shh now, relax'.

Re: Chapter 7: Night Three
Contrary to any claims made by Harry, Vic took advantage of Icarus’ prone status to dart in and bring the poker down on the exposed bone once again.

Re: Chapter 7: Night Three
“Come away, George, it’s horrid!” She takes the boy’s shoulders and spins him back into the room. “Your father and the others are fighting a fierce creature; I’m afraid it might be a rabid bear escaped from a circus, your father is being very brave but we must go and look after your mother; I’m afraid she’s been very frightened. Come on, let’s find her!” Isolde takes George’s hand and pulls him to the door.
Re: Chapter 7: Night Three
Vic tries to strike the statue but cannot, due to Harry laying atop it.
Old Fred has no such qualms. Intent on his adversary, he cares not for who gets in the way.
As he swings his cudgel down though, his foot slips and he falls over backwards, the cudgel falling to the ground.
Outside the bedroom door, Isolde is met by Gertrude.
“Have you seen what’s going on outside?” she says, eyes wild. “Harry and Bates are barricading the door in case it tries to get in.”
Her eyes fall on George.
“We should look for a place to hide.”

"Harry, get off of it!" calls Alexander, raising his lantern. If Harry gets safely off of the statue's back, Alexander will take his lit lantern and smash it down on the statue.

Re: Chapter 7: Night Three
The statue knocks Harry aside and rises to its feet. As it does so, Alexander throws the lantern which smashes over its shoulders. The burning oil coats the figure, flickering with a green light, but does not have any immediate effect.
Stepping over the sitting figure of Old Fred, the statue brings its fist squarely down on his head.
The force of the blow smashes Fred’s skull with a sickening crack, and his neck is driven into his shoulders. Blood and brain shoot out, splattering the ground.

Re: Chapter 7: Night Three
Vic winced as she heard Fred’s skull crack and looked away so she didn’t have to see his final moments.
She looked back at Icarus and the fire that appeared to be having little effect. “What about ice?!” she cried.

Re: Chapter 7: Night Three
Harry gasps at the sight of Icarus crushing Old Fred's skull, but he's too far gone to process it any further, 'Christopher, stop it...I don't want to hear your excuses...no, no, he did not deserve to die...I don't deserve to die either...'
