Believing the immediate threat to the queen to be coming from the statues
rather than from the unfamiliar mage, Porillo turned his attention to
them first. The result was unexpected to the others, if not to Porillo
himself. He spread out his hands in front of him, and a beam of force
emerged from them, striking the statues. His idea was to prevent them
from getting any closer to the queen. Each statue weighed about 900
pounds, but the force impinging on them was enough to cause them slowly
to begin to lean over backwards. In another few seconds they would topple
and fall, presumably to smash into a multitude of fragments.
That would suit Yarna very well. She doubted that even Belboz could restore her sister to life after that, and thus any possible threat from her would be removed. So she said nothing further to disillusion Porillo. Afterwards she could always claim that she had been paralysed by surprise.
