Jarreck shakes his head, "No, I think I'm ok. At least I hope so anyways" he finishes with a bit of a sheepish grin. "At least I don't need the lights anymore." looking at his arms that no longer bear the digital ink tattoo's he'd recently purchased.
Checking his pistol once more before entering the cavern, Jarreck retrieves one of the scent glands and began applying it "Gah! smelling like I'm bathing in rutting buck musk, gonna have to burn these clothes later."
Finally ready, he approaches the cavern entrance.
+4 vs traps
Jarreck approaches the entrance, he doesn't hear anything inside. When he walks through the "vines" he immediately spots a massive robot, standing sentinel over the area
So far, the Robot has made no sign that it has noticed Jarreck...

Quietly backing back through the vines, Jarreck tells the others quietly what lies just beyond. "It's a large robot similar to the one we found we we first came into the valley, need to watch yourselves as we enter, would definitely leave a mark if it hits you. This thing is huge."
moving back into the cavern Jarreck attempts to circumnavigate the robot's gaze, moving towards the northern cavern entrance.
+4 more vs traps
"Elephant huge.... or adult dragon huge?"
"With the robojack. It might be best to approach under the cover of invisibility although I assume that will drop the moment the device is activated. Anyway we will then be able to assess whether the Annihilator can be safely repairs of it it must be destroyed." replied Seventeen at once.
Seventeen whispers the words of a spell and she abruptly vanishes. She approached the damaged robot and considers how to apply the robojack.
A robojack is a strange, rod-like device that can be used to usurp control of an otherwise functional robot. In order to gain control of a robot, the wielder must first make a ranged touch attack against a target robot within a range of 60 feet. If the attack is successful, the robot must succeed at a DC 14 Will saving throw to prevent the robojack from linking to the robot’s command processor. On a subsequent turn after a link is established, the wielder can issue a command to the robot as a standard action—each attempt to do so consumes 1 charge from the robojack, and the robot gets a new DC 14 Will saving throw to resist following each command. The wielder must be within 60 feet of the robot and must issue the command in a language understood by the robot. The types of commands he can issue are similar to those allowed by a suggestion spell—once a command is successfully issued, the robot does its best to carry out the orders over the course of the next hour. This does not drain further charges from the robojack.
Everyone else?
"Destroyed and scavenged for anything useful, that is."
"Perhaps that might be for the best, shall we try the Robojack? It's not certain to succeed. I have no data regarding what occurs if it fails. There may be a good reason for that." she asked.
@Guaire You can always try. And yes, it would allow you to get close to the robot without it attacking you.
Guaire thinks of something risky, but a risk that may just pay off if he tried.
Letting the eagle move onto his arm, he motions it upwards like a falconer would, pointing towards a tree up ahead.
"Go..", letting the bird fly about like a regular animal would.
With Seven likely underway, Guaire carefully moves to a position where he'd be able to take some sort of cover, if the big robot would notice him.
Undoubtedly it does, and Guaire lowers his bow as he comes into view, as a sign of showing the robot he knows it is much mightier than he is.
"I am a traveler, seeking to get my bird to return to me. Will you allow me to, grand one? I pose no threat to you, with my simple wooden weapon. Nor am i looking for meaningless death."
Isuma snickers darkly at Guaires attempt, her tense pose lets you know what she thinks the outcome is going to be. Peytr looks unconvinced, but optimistic.
The massive robot's voice emitter is barely working, and yet it still seems to boom in the cavern.

"That could have been worse, but it feels bad all the same."
He takes cover behind the wall, calling out to the bird."[/b]
"RIND, COME!", upon which the bird tries a fly by dirty trick to mess with the sensor of the giant bot.
"Guaire! Are you sure that's wise?" asked Seventeen without inflection. Within moments it became apparent it was not.
She quickly moved into range and aimed the robojack towards the Annihilator and pressed the button. The dice buzzed slightly and then...

"Stay on your toes, Jarreck, don't take unneeded risks with this thing."
Guaire, still keeping close to the cover, unloads another volley at the giant mech, aiming for the head area.
The Annihilator crashes to the ground broken.
Walls: The walls of the hive themselves are encrusted with a strange form of Dominion biotechnology. In appearance, these walls resemble the hide of a crocodile in both color and texture, with occasional odd protrusions and repeating patterns of alien geometry. A thin layer of pungent, translucent jelly coats the stuff, and infrequent twitches and undulations ripple across the surface, like the movements of musculature beneath skin. Numerous small glowing creatures that resemble weird jellyfish the size of a human's hand slither and float across the walls, providing dim illumination throughout the complex.
The walls and these jellyfish are in fact a single form of symbiotic engineered life. The walls themselves have hardness 15, 90 hp per 5-foot section, and heal damage at the rate of 5 hp per round. The jellyfish serve as countless tiny visual and audio sensors, which allow the Dominion to observe all of the rooms coated with the stuff An area effect spell that inflicts acid or fire damage destroys all of the jellyfish sensors in that area for 10 minutes before the walls extrude replacements. A character who douses themselves with one of the strange scent glands from the Dropship becomes invisible and
silent to the jellyfish, but this has a strange side effect that causes dozens of the things to cling to their bodies-this results in a -8 penalty on Stealth checks and allows creatures to pinpoint the character when he is invisible.
The rock of this enormous domed chamber has been cut with startling precision and shines with a glassy finish. A wide-mouthed corridor filled with hanging vines lies to the east and a fifteen foot wide corridor exits the room to the south. Opposite this hallway to the north, a strange pucker- like growth of green scaly flesh grows on the wall.
"Perhaps we should use some more peppers on the door." suggested Seventeen as she examined the door in front of them.
Jarreck opens the door and creeps through. He walks through a hallway and opens another set of puckered doors.
The walls of this chamber are plated in swaths of what looks like crocodilian hide. An immense sculpture, or perhaps a machine, that looks something like an insectile cephalopod built from fleshy leather and strips of dull red chitin looms against the northern wall, its seven tentacles splayed out into the room, each arm ending in a bulbous pucker the size of a curled-up halfling.
Seventeen whispers an arcane phrase and she abruptly vanishes. She approached the room described above but doesn't enter. She whispers several more arcane words attuning herself to any slumbering art that might be in the vicinity.
She also has a good look around with purely visual senses, the tentacled thing was alarming her combat routines. It needed to be identified.
Isuma catches up to Jarreck and whispers Give me one of those glands. and if he obliges she rubs it all over herself.
she points to the walls They can see you through them.
Quietly a disembodied voice near Jarreck's ear told the party, "I am unable to identify the purpose of that biomechanical device. We must go deeper but try to avoid getting close..."
As Jarreck creeps into the room, the fleshy bulbs at the end of the tentacles begin to bulge and move. Several hideous beasts emerge from the fleshy bulbs

Under cover of invisibility Seventeen whistles and suddenly there is a distant roar. She clicks her fingers and with a clap of thunder and smoke, a huge and enraged dire tiger appears in front of them and it rips into the hideous beasts!
Seventeen then withdraws, trusting to her invisibly to protect her from the rending claws of the beasts!

Jarreck feels like he is in the central vortex of a hail storm with all of the flechettes pinging off of the barrier Petyr laid on him, continuing to lay about with the knives he tries to lessen the storm. First against black and then the next one to his left in line, if needed.
