Unexpected to Some, At Least

The Never Ending Quest - Episode 87036

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.

  1. Belboz however could see an advantage to keeping Astra alive - if that was the right word for her condition - so he intervened.
  2. "You idiot, Porillo!" Astra grated (for she recalled him of old). "Stop that at once."
  3. The statues toppled, suffering considerable damage.
  4. The statues toppled, but they must have been made of a very hard rock, as the main damage that resulted was to the floor of the throne room.

JH (I found a website that reckoned that a marble statue 70" high would weight about 900 pounds)
