Cortia rose as Lea ordered her to, feeling relief at no longer having to crawl, not that she complained. She didn't need much help from Lea and Jack, but she took it anyway, clinging to Jack as she tried to get focused. His whispered words helped and she broke through most of what was left of the Bard's spell. "I'm okay... Thanks Jack." She whispered back, giving the fighter a smile.
Drawing her shield and mace again, she fell back to the rear, keeping close to the group. She wasn't sure how exactly the collar worked, not wanting to chance being too far from Lea and the rune setting off for the halfling. Soon though that thought went out the window as Desira rushed forward. "Hey, wait up!" She called, preying under her breath that Desira didn't run head first into a rune before she caught up.
As they reached Curiosity, Cortia's first thought was to try and help Jack pull her free, that was until she looked up. Her jaw dropped as she regarded the two golems, intent clear as they approached. While their main target was Curiosity, they'd be happy to take any of the group. Thoughts of being taken on the stone shafts of these constructs flashed through Cortia's mind a moment, but she forced it down. While yes, it could be fun, it'd be a whole lot less fun for some of the party, particularly the smaller Lea and Jack, for obvious reasons.
Stepping between the rest of the group and the Golems, she put her shield away, grasping her holy symbol in her now free hand. "Flamma Sacra! Flamma Sacra Bis!" She chanted loudly, her divine will coursing through her voice. Two bolts of golden flame engulfed the Golems, one for each of them. While she wasn't expecting to kill them, she just tried to slow them. While regular fire might do little to the stone creatures, this was no flame, this was divine radiant energy, and Cortia had plenty more where that came from.
The priestess looked over her shoulder at the group, once more looking in control of herself again. "Either we run or fight these things, I don't think they can leave the maze." Granted she didn't know for sure, the thought cropping up of the group being cornered by the stone giants in the first room not being a pleasant one.
