can anything be learned in this room Barnabas? Adney says as he looks around.
Ba-a-a-arnabas looks around the room, trying to see if he can understand what he sees. Then he looks at the remains of the robot to see if anything can be salvaged.
You see some windows with pictures of other room in them.
You are able to salvage a bulk of the metal from the robot and his slug thrower.
Adney will try to find the place he must handle while he is here on the screen and some sort of room number or directions
Maeve is fine with just following someone else. This ancient stuff is a bit daunting for her.
Ba-a-a-arnabas compares the images to his map, to try to figure out if he can tell which room is which.
"If w-e-e-e know wha-a-at room the chi-i-ickens are in, we ca-a-a-an tell where we ha-a-ave to be more ca-a-areful."
If he identifies a room and sees that it is inhabited by chickens he marks the map with little 'x's, one for each chicken. If there is something else in the room that looks interesting he draws an exclamation mark.
Barny marks down where the chickens are and the closest room is room S.
"Le-e-e-ets keep moving."
You open the door to room R on your way to room S. The I.D. card slots are found to the
west of the two doors. Various kinds of ancient
equipment and window boxs on desks are located along the east
and west walls.
A robot starts moving towards you in a menacing way and then sees Adney and starts making strange noises
Kalina's new tail twitches slightly as she readies her spear.
What are you trying to say little fellow? Adney says not making any threatening moves
Maeve stands back and watches, she's ready to defend herself or Adney.
The robot seems to be dealing with some sort of contradiction in his programming.
hey Barnabas, take a look at this fellow and see if you can fix it something is wrong with him, and we could always use more friends
"We-e-e-elll, let's see no-o-ow..."
Ba-a-a-arnabas examines the machine carefully.
"Ca-a-an you tell me wha-a-at your programming comma-a-ands?" he asks the machine.
The robot says, "I must attack all who enter this room not a chicken.. primary programming, I must not ATTACK humans.... discordant... discordant.... "
Ba-a-a-arnabas looks at Adney and gives him the nod.
"Both co-o-o-ommands cannot be correct, since one ca-a-a-an force you to vi-i-i-iolate the other."
"Yo-o-our primary programming mu-u-u-ust be correct, be-e-e-ecause it is primary. The-e-erefo-o-ore the error must lie in your se-e-e-econdary programming. The e-e-error may result from ba-a-a-ad syntax. If a-a-a-an edit is po-o-o-ossible, I would recommend the followi-i-i-ing:"
"The fi-i-i-irst command you rela-a-a-ated was: 'I mu-u-ust attack all who e-e-e-enter this room not a chicken.' I suspe-e-ect the error is i-i-in the placement of the word 'not.' So-o-o-o the command should read: 'I must a-a-attack all who NOT enter this room a chi-i-icken.' In o-o-o-other words, anyone who is not in the room, a-a-and is a chicken, you mu-u-u-ust attack. How does that so-o-o-ound?"
Maeve facepalms, dear old great one, a stuttering sheep arguing semantics and grammar...
She looks from Ba to Adney, then to the chicken. Where's that leave me?
Kalina shifts uncomfortably, uncertain what to make of the monstrosity that mimics a man, but has no flesh.
good one Barnabas, lets see if that works and then follow this little guy on his path of destruction of chickens for as far as we can if it works
GM Rolls
The robot says, "I must attack all who not enter this room a chicken. You entered this room not chickens. Should I attack you?"
GM Rolls ** spoiler omitted **
The robot says, "I must attack all who not enter this room a chicken. You entered this room not chickens. Should I attack you?"
"No-o-o-o. Attack those who did no-o-o-ot enter this room, or a-a-are chickens."
"If you le-e-eave this room, the command might be easier to fo-o-o-ollow, since you won't ha-a-a-ave to worry about who entered the-e-e room."
The robot says, "Leaving room against programming."
The robot stays in one place but generally leaves you along.
Maeve warily walks past the robot and waits for the others at the door to the next room.
Adney shrugs and then follows the group into the next room.
This 6 meter by
12 meter room looks to be a very important part of the
complex. The two doors located here each required the use of a
of your blue I. D. card to open them. The card slots are
both found to the west of the doors themselves. This room is kept
a few degrees cooler than the normal room temperature
throughout the rest of the building. Soft dim lights constantly
illuminate the ancient box with a window. Two ancient boxes
take up the entire space along the east and west walls. Filling
all of the south wall area is the main screen, and 5 desks with windowboxes on them.
At the eastern most windowbox is a chicken typing a way at some sort of ancient typewriter connected to the window box. The chicken has an ancient pistol holstered on his chest and an ancient musket on his back.
Ba-a-a-arnabas pulls back from the doorway, and puts a finger to his lips, indicating silence.
Maeve decides that moving would be counterproductive to being stealthy. It isn't something she's really ever worked at.
She does pull up her crossbow with her off hands and quirk an eyebrow at Ba-a-a-a-a-a-.
Adney will pull out a dagger silently and attempt to sneak in order to cut that chickens throat
Deyemi will telepathically communicate with each member to let them know he will be prepared to teleport in and attack the chicken.
Maeve aims her crossbow and waits for Adney. If he flubs his sneak up, she'll fire. If he manages to get there and his attack doesn't take the bird down, she'll fire.
GG vs Stealth
Adney makes a squeak on the floor garnering the attention of the chicken and he fires at Adney hit doing
Adney
When Ba-a-a-arnabas sees Adney take a hit, he pelts around the corner and his eyes flash.
"Eat ra-a-a-a-adiation, you dumb bi-i-ird!"
Adney
Adney will pull the crossbow and shoot the bird!
Deyemi will charge:
Adney misses his attack.
