As the group descends through the ravine, Maps runs his hand along the wall. "Melted pieces of the ship. Point of impact starts here."
At the site itself he looks over the ruptured vessel for a moment before his eyes land on the canister. He approaches it with caution to get a closer look.
Those of you studying the strange contraption outside the structure that it must be some sort of battery recharging device (generator) but it is not fully functioning. None of you possess the skills to restor it though.
Shel and Maps, however, note that the outer ring of the ruins (B2) are trapped with something that is both mechanical and technological: it seems the trap somehow warps and changes gravity randomly. There are also concealed laser turrets inside.
The smaller structure to the northeast (B3) has chairs upholstered in frayed fibers standing before decrepit metal desks, each sporting an array of large windows that hang suspended against the walls. Most of these glassy surfaces are shattered.

Asking Maps to hold off for a moment, while I have a look at the dwarven journal, I'll go ahead and step into the trap, "where the floor seems to be the ceiling", then look for a "door" of some type.
Maps and Shel work together to disable first the wonky-gravity technology and then sneak in to take out the laser turrets, making the area safe to travel through.

Maps sticks with Shel at the lead, using his own trained senses to look for trouble. "Let's see what that is." He points to the structure with chairs."[/b]
You head down the stairs! Four doors are situated almost equidistantly around the circular room below. To the southeast, the wall is shorn off, and a deep crevice in the floor nearly blocks the opening. The floor beyond is a sea of natural rubble and technological detritus, broken by the occasional pile of functional tools or recycled metal. Everything of use or importance seems to have been carefully stripped from this chamber but there is at least 5000 gp worth of skymetal here. You do also find one thing that was overlooked or deemed unworthy: a timeworn sonic rifle with 5 charges remaining.

"What would be involved in recovering it?"
"Time." Maps replies. "And probably better spent once we have what we came for."
Regarding the sonic rifle, Maps looks it over with a clinical eye. "I'm good with things that got triggers, but this..." He shrugs, unsure of his aim with such a weapon. Looking down the sight he adds. "Long barrel means good range. Far better then my guns."

Also something to keep in mind is Extended Shield Other is 20 hours, which grants +1 Defl to AC and Resist to all Saves and I take half your HP damage. Assuming you stay within 50ft of me.
Nothing else here so moving you along to the north:
This rounded room is partially filled in by soil. A three-foot-diameter sphere on a tripod base sits near the room’s original center. The device no longer works properly, and only occasional images of traumatic scenes flash across its surface. As soon as you enter, the sphere begins projecting a word in both Common and Hallit: "Depart! Depart!"
The sphere remains stationary but a heretofore inactive metallic creature with pincer-tipped arms and a single red eye comes to life and flies with eerie grace via blasts of fire from its back!

Baz's ray of light hits an invisible force shield protecting the robot. The invisible barrier flashes briefly and wavers but remains invisible for all you can tell.
The fearsome rocket-powered robot launches a missile at the party, the explosion of which rocks everyone and sends dust flying down on your heads!

"HOW DARE YOU STRIKE THE SON OF SARENRAE AND RAGATHIEL, MONSTER!!!! Surrender, NOW, or else! You have but one chance."
"Everyone, to me. I'll call in a favor. After that, bring me it's head!"Or is it possible that I swap places with Maps or Lucija so I can be in the middle? I want to case Communal Protection from Energy on the party, but it requires I touch everyone. If so, I'll give everyone 10 mins worth except Shel, Hailey, and Bazresh who get 20, and lets everyone absorb 120 points of Fire Damage before it ends for them. If not, I'll Delay until either Maps or Lucija step move and then do it.

Shel realized her tiny kukri were no threat to the strange machine. She waited until at least one of the others approached the robot in melee, and quickly followed, trying to distract the creature.
If anyone melees, Shel will Auto Aid another, adding a plus two to their melee attack.

Maps dodges the worst of the blast, and is quickly healed of the burns and bruises by Hailey. He tries for a moment to recall if the Thread of Silver contained any notes on a robot like this one...
Knowledge Engineering:1d20 + 8 ⇒ (1) + 8 = 9
Coming up with nothing he figures now is a good time to test the sonic rifle and squeezes off a couple shots.
Maps' new sonic rifle seems to work well against this machine as Baz' tough weapon cleaves through the metal of one of its plates. Lucija's acid doesn't seem to have any effect on its hard exterior and Naghamadi has trouble biting through! Hailey then heals the party and Ignatious does his best to protect Bazresh.
The robot backs away from Baz (provoking) and fires another rocket into the middle of the room!
fire damage:6d6 ⇒ (4, 6, 5, 1, 5, 4) = 25 bludgeoning damage:6d6 ⇒ (4, 6, 1, 1, 3, 6) = 21 DC 18 Ref for half; hits everyone.
Vulnerable to Critical Hits: Whenever a robot takes extra damage from a critical hit, it must make a DC 15 Fortitude save to avoid being stunned for 1 round. If it makes a successful saving throw, it is staggered for 1 round. The robot remains immune to other sources of the stunned condition.
So I think it would have been staggered last round and would not have been able to get off the full attack.
Whoops! My mistake. Baz scored a crit on it earlier and I forgot how their "vulnerable to criticals" weakness worked. It would not have gotten a full attack off on him last round due to being staggered but would have still been able to fire its rocket this round. So Baz can ignore that full-attack.
