Re: Fires of Creation, Part I
Niles looks away from his papers in the direction of scream, pauses, and then begins heading in that direction.

Re: Fires of Creation, Part I
Enlali's breakfast-based fantasy was cut short by the sudden scream. Momentarily shocked, she stood still until she saw the thin, bookish guest leap into action. When you don't have a plan, head to the tavern, she thought again. She rushed after the man toward the scream.

Re: Fires of Creation, Part I
With little more than a blink of surprise, Manizei immediately follows her first impulse - run directly towards the screaming.
This is probably not the best response in a lot of cases, but at least it's the right one, at least to her.

Re: Fires of Creation, Part I
"Val!" Harskgun blurted out as he hears the scream, almost dropping his cigar into the flames of the forge. Knowing there'd be hell to pay from Khonnir if Val got hurt, he dashed out of the foundry towards the house, dagger in hand as he heads inside.

Re: Fires of Creation, Part I
The scream leads the brave adventurers to the small house behind the tavern, and the sounds of crashing and smashing and general mayhem lead them to what Harksgun recalls is a storeroom in the southeast corner of the building. The door burst open and out staggers a bizarre contraption on three spindly legs with a vaguely humanoid upper torso. It has clearly taken terrible, terrible damage at some point in the past, as evidenced by missing pieces of its chassis, exposed circuitry and wiring, and the tortured grinding noise it makes as it moves. It occasionally spouts short phrases in a language no one recognizes but Niels; he recognizes the language as Androffan and the words as nonsensical gibberish in which the word "repair" comes up a lot. It staggers about attempting to smash the door frame for a moment before noticing the assembled adventurers and concluding that they're in its way.

Harskgun sees no sign of Val but knows that he can't search for her until the...thing...is dealt with.

Re: Fires of Creation, Part I
Unintelligent, then, Manizei decides, readying her musket. It'd be a shame to destroy something like this, but life, as always, comes first.

Re: Fires of Creation, Part I
How hard could it be to take down one malfunctioning machine? Enlali smirks and pulls the heavy bardiche from her back, taking a wide stance.

Harskgun charges at the mechanical creature with his dagger, shouting a prayer to Torag as he slashes at it.

Re: Fires of Creation, Part I
Niles knocks an arrow and fires it towards the robot, hoping to miss the dwarf.

Re: Fires of Creation, Part I
Levelling her musket and taking careful aim, Manizei pauses for a moment, taking in the robot's form.
"I'm sorry," she murmurs quietly, before firing over the dwarf.

Re: Fires of Creation, Part I
A couple of solid hits are enough to send the malfunctioning robot sputtering and sparking and finally its head explodes in tiny and comedic fashion, sending the rest of it slumping to the ground, inert. 200 XP.
Inside the storeroom, Val pokes her head out from under a table when she notices that the clatter has stopped. Seeing the repair drone dispatched, she crawls out and immediately dashes toward Harskgun to give him a great big hug. "Oh, thank you thank you! I just came in here to get something and that thing just jumped at me and started tearing the place apart! It's never moved before, not since Daddy brought it back from the caves a few days ago."

Re: Fires of Creation, Part I
Harskgun breathes a sigh of relief upon seeing that Val was unharmed. "Glad to see you're in one piece, kiddo," the dwarf said with a smile as he put his knife away. Now that he was able to get a better look at the robot, he recognized it as the thing that Khonnir had indeed brought back from the caves - which he had been sure was permanently offline. "Well, I think we just got an even bigger reason to go find your father, if that thing just randomly started up...who knows what else is down there," he said, turning to the other three people who had followed him in. "Are you three interested in finding Councillor Baine? He's this girl's father, and he went missing under the hill a few days ago trying to find out what happened to the flame on the hill."
