I analysed the landscape around me to look for the source of the voice and was surprised to find it was coming from an angry MOVING statue that didn't have arms. Huh? I racked my brains for Roman statues that were armless, had a bad temper and had a phobia of weapons and greeks. Jason shot me a look that said, I've got this."Terminus," he said.
