Ridic crawls forward down the slanted area to cast his spell jolting the robot and triggering it to spaz out a bit.
Razorend stands, drawing an attack from the buzzsaw before it returns to the elemental cutting chunks of rock off it with a horrific grinding sound.
; HIT!;
; HIT!;
Oskar nearly drops his weapon.
Swings at Robot:
As Oskar Knocks a chunk off the Robot, he growls 'Finally!'
Relex Save
The earth elemental continues to attack the robot:
Razorend's partially out-of-phase stance helps out, causing the robot to narrowly miss. He focuses his ki insight onto the robot's weaknesses, then along the edge of his kukri. He strikes, carving through the robot's metal armor like a hot knife through butter.

The elemental and Oskar knock the robot around, staggering it, but Razorend cuts the thing in half, his blade slicing like a knife through butter.

The eastern portion of this room is a shambles of twisted metal and debris, leaving the western portion to serve as a combination bedroom and personal shrine.
The small side room to the north stinks to high heaven and is obviously a latrine.
On a small table next to to a cot is a book. The contents are in a tight crabbed writing. It is written in Orc, and would take quite a bit of time to read (assuming someone knows the language).
The walls of this room are decorated with images of mechanical claws reaching toward the sky. Eight simple bedrolls lie on the floor here.
The door to the south is locked, but the gray card opens it. It leads to stairs going down.
The north wall of this room is a tangle of ruins and debris, while in the center of the room stand four tall pillars with glowing bands of pale purple light pulsing along their sides.
A door in the eastern wall leads to another stinking room.
A bitter stink of chemicals with an underlying reek of decaying flesh fills the air of this cavern. A platform of gray metal, worn smooth and free of dust, extends over a 10-foot-deep pit filled with rubble--strangely polished rubble.
Urgeon, procient in the orcen language, will scan the book before tucking it away for later research.
He searches the room.
Urgeon searches the barracks.
Urgeon will search the debris in the room and will study the batteries to understand what they are for.

Razorend lets out a relieved sigh as the robot is destroyed. "I could use some healing, if possible," he says, rubbing at bruised limbs.
Urgeon pockets the Orc book and the party finds nothing else in the room.
Inspecting the stairs, Ridic smells a bit of sewage and notes the western wall lowers down allowing visibility into the pit below the platform to the northeast.
Studying the batteries, Urgeon realizes they are fully charged. With the right kind of connection device (like a power cable or the power transmitter from Torch), he could rig it up to recharge items.
Urgeon lingers for a moment studying the pit below and then starts as he realizes there is some sort of transparent ooze sitting across the rocks. As Urgeon watches, it starts to tremor and move slightly.
Ridic will hit Razor with the wand a couple times and cast cure light wounds as well.
Wand 2 charges

"Hey guys, looks like their is more to that pit, we can check it out from down here"
Ridic will carefully head down the stairs towards the pit
Urgeon tells the others what he finds. "Beware, there is an ooze of some sort in the pit. Be mindful going down the stairs - it may attempt to cross the wall."
He cautiously follows Ridic down the stairs.
Oskar stays well back from the pit. "Ah, lads, I've tried flying across a pit once today, I'm not any good at it. I'll stay away from the edge"
"but I'll try to cover you all with my Musket as best I can"
Musket reloaded and ready.
"oh, does anyone else think throwing something that is on fire down the pit first, might be a good idea?" , "by the way, Not it!"
Current Hp's: 49 of 60
The party quickly moves down past the open wall to the pit. The translucent slime shudders and pulses toward you, but ultimately you pass by without incident.
Down the flight of metal stairs, you realize it is attached to the outside of some partially buried metal structure. A door allows access into the structure from a landing below. Brilliant lights cast illumination out to the south into a large, damp cave. Far below to the south, a pool of foul green fluid bubbles and smokes.
Two monitors on either side of the door light up with Hellion's image, who speaks to you immediately in its deep, unearthly voice, "Turn back or die."
The lights all switch off as the monitors blink out ... plunging the area into darkness and taking away your view below. Urgeon's wand tip still faintly illuminates the area around you casting eerie shadows all around.
You hear something or someone scuff the floor nearby you just faintly
Oskar has darkvision 60ft
Ridic will cast Light on his Scythe
Perception
Urgeon will cast heightened awareness on himself as he enters the darkness.
He immediately stops and calls a warning to the group. "Someone else is here with us - close!"
Ridic will stop immediately upon hearing that revelation and raise his weapon.
"Meyanda, how are you feeling?" Razorend asks her as the group progresses through the ruin.
*
Razorend trains his senses on the source of the sound.
Meyanda walks beside Razorend, quiet for a moment before she speaks matter of factly, "It's strange. I feel like I am reading a story that I only realize after it's finished that I've read it before, but I can' recall what comes next."
She looks at her fellow android with something approaching satisfaction, "Brigh teaches us to create and find life in it. It is obvious to me now that Hellion did nothing of the sort. He destroyed ... he couldn't even create a lasting memory. He is the anathema of everything Brigh stands for. I find that Brigh is pleased that his hold over me is nearly gone. WE must destroy him, Razorend."
------------------------------
You spy three small humanoids wrapped in dark cloth. Only a long sharp nose and two pale hands wielding a single wavy dagger each. They ghost past Oskar to surround the dwarf and come up upon you.
Urgeon alerts the party and Razorend spies something in the dark. Humanoids begin materializing out of the air around the party.

Ridic will attack the closest one that materializes. Their tokens are not yet on the map

Razorend nods to Meyanda, also pleased with her growing independence. "We will see to it that it can no longer enslave any others."

In the pit, Razorend sees the oncoming ambush and quickly reacts. "Oskar, behind you!" he warns as he flies into motion, moving to intercept the nearest foe.
;
Urgeon readies an action to blast the first foe that appears with his wand of magic missiles.
Attack nearest foe:
The creature are dark creepers, members of a race called dark folk. They look to their leaders with near divinity and are known to steal and cause significant mayhem although generally aren't inherently malicious

Urgeon acts quickly after the dark folk appear, smashing one with a magic missile.
Oskar takes aim with his weapon and the three small men stab out at him getting a couple gouges in with daggers smeared with some black substance. His body convulses immediately from whatever courses through his blood.

Razorend leaps in and slashes at the injured creature and it screams in agony as light explodes from its eyes and the creature detonates in an explosion of light. The other two scream as they hold hands up to their eyes.
Razorend averts his eyes in time to avoid being dazzled by the dying creature. After the flash, he quickly spins back in for another attack combo.

; HIT!
Kovax fails to get his arms up and throws his chain out blindly where he saw the opponent previously. His first attack finds no purchase but his second one skewers the creature in the head, bursting out the back end causing it to to burst into an explosion of light.
Ridic stumbles forward and swings blindly smashing his scythe into the wall.
Meyanda fires from the back row and although her opponent is behind soft cover and involved in melee combat, she still wings him.
Urgeon and Oskar follow up and down the creature in a final blast of light.
One more save from Razorend and Oskar if they both passed the previous one. rounds.
Yawning to clear her ears from the three weapon retorts, the android looks at you all, "I'm pretty certain everyone knew we were here before this fight, right? No need to stay quiet ... although it's a bit late to ask you that."
Urgeon detects magic on the daggers before scooping them up and placing in the bag of holding.
"Let's move quickly before they can organize their defenses."
He follows the others down the stairs.
Ridic is rubbing his eyes trying to get his vision back.."well that was a fun little spat, hopefully I can avoid being light blinded the rest of the time I am under ground."
