[. . . frowns, and gets up to - sssslowly look for more of the emerald insets at the top, bbbbbecause there can't be so many gargoyles up here for no reason]

[There are many gargoyles. And all of them are gaudy. Incredibly gaudy. You do find four roaring dragons with the emerald leaf blowing on the wind inset on their left front paw. If you lean down and put your ear to their open mouths you can hear the sound of air flowing downwards.]

[. . . hm. but are their mouths big enough that a kid as small as me can get through them . . . . ]

[from down below:]

Flame, what's happening up there?

[- oh]

I haven't found the power box yet but I think I found a way in, maybe. . . !

What do you mean?

There's a ventilation shaft up here. - and there's also a glass dome . . . uhm, we may be able to break that but there are also security lasers inside, too.

Should we come up there?

It's safe to come up, it might be better if you did. [so people don't see you loitering around here ( o_o)]

One moment.

[he raises his hand and twists it; the grappling hook dislodges itself from the gargoyle and comes flying down to land in his palm. Blade turns to Star.]

Hold on to me. This will be quicker than climbing.

[If only she had her precious grappling hook :(]

[Gonna... hang onto his waist then?]

Top floor...!

[puts his free arm around her, then they're hurtling up, pulled by the force of the metal hook as Blade directs it to the roof.]

[This is so cool *^*]

[Yes. They also happen to be made out of nickel and coated in pure gold dust. Very valuable. Much splendor.]

[this bank is for assholes]

[waiting for eveningstar and blade to come up '-']

[it only takes a few seconds before they appear, Blade having flown them up by hanging onto the metal of the grappling hook. he lands on the roof, putting Star down.]

So, what now.

[So cool!!!!]

Security lasers, I think...

There are security lasers inside, but Eveningstar and I can get in through the ventilation.

Some of these gargoyles have emeralds on them though, in shapes - uhm, if you see a key, it means door, and if you see a hexagon, it's connected to security. And a water wave means plumbing . . . . [gestures to the dragons and the emerald insets] and that's ventilation.

Would destroying the security gargoyles close it down?

That's where the air is coming from, isn't it?

[Examining a gargoyle...]

[Blade reaches over and takes the case from Flame, snapping it open. He retrieves the pack of ball bearings and tears it open. The metal balls halt in midair, coalescing in a rough ball above his palm.

Then they fan out, and fly over to one of the gargoyles marked for security. They circle it by the neck and middle, and Blade snaps his hand up, sending the entire statue flying off into the distance.

It takes a few moments for the sound of it hitting the ground to echo back to them.]

[You take out an angry looking copper unicorn with a hexagram on its hind quarter! There is now one less gaudy gargoyle on the roof. Nothing happens. You probably have to get rid of all of them for it to work.

There's two more if you want to look around.]

[he's still got his hand out, waiting for the ball bearings to come back, but he'll be doing that as soon as that happens. go join your fallen unicorn buddy, gargoyles.]

[I will provide moral support and fist pumping!!]

[There's a consensus Erik is enjoying this far too much. The roof is now unicorn-less! The glass dome disappears. Apparently it wasn't actually real all along. Down below in the main room all the emerald hexagrams crack and fall from the walls.

You've defeated the security system!]
