"F@!! you, Richard, I'm fine!"
Maruf tears into the robot a little more with one claw!
Richard heals the cobbler!
Kharax's spell finishes, making Alpha, mega-Alpha!
Alpha swings, and misses, apparently adjusting to his new size!
"Get him, Mega-Alpha!", Kharax shouts after he finishes his spell, using his whip to try and aid him.
And the half-orc misses horribly.
Kharax tries to distract the robot, but has little success!
The robot attacks Maruf, leaving another nasty wound on the cobbler!
Mega-Alpha throws out another city destroying strike.
Dropping his crossbow, Richard jumps over a bed and maneuvers behind the construct, drawing his rapier and jabbing.
Alpha lands a mighty blow on the robot, cracking its casing, allowing Richard to stab it, cutting essential wiring. The thing falls to the ground in a heap!
Maruf clutches at the wound in his side and tries to stanch the bleeding. His breathing is even heavier than usual but he doesn't say anything about the pain.
"Great. Now let's keep moving so I can get cut up some more."
Alpha nods, ignoring part of that statement. "It is logical to keep moving."

"You look like..." Like hell? Like sh!t? Like a wounded animal? Richard wonders briefly which comment would provoke the Cobbler least, but decides to change course mid-stream. "We should assess our ability to continue. My ability to heal is running out."
Richard examines the defeated robot, then the rest of the room carefully for others useful items.
Searching the room turns up nothing of interest or value.
"I think we can press on a little more, but I would like to conserve a spell for emergencies." Richard says, then sings softly, using the last of his bardic magic to heal some of the Cobbler's injuries.
"I'll take the lead with Alpha." He says, handing his scroll with one final spell of curing to Kharax. "Let's try those doors to the south, but just glance inside. I don't think we need to clear the place out. Remember, we're here to find Khonnor first, then relight the forge fires second. Seeing that we have no clue about doing the second thing, and the resident expert was Khonnor, we should try to find him before wandering into every dark and dangerous corner."
Trying to be quiet, Richard listens at the double doors, examines them for any danger, then opens them a crack to peer inside.
"Un momento, fellas.", smiles Kharax.
"I can do that one more time before Torracha's energy runs out."
"Affirmative, Richard. The first priority is locating Khonnir."
"If we decide to rest, we should consider returning to town." Richard says. "Otherwise the water breathing spell duration will elapse and we will have a hard time getting back out, though that makes me wonder... if we do find Khonnir, how will we get him out?"
After the agreement to recuperate and go over what they have uncovered, Kharax calls upon Torracha's blessings one more time.
"Alright, I'll take first watch since I need mah shut-eye afterwards. Gotta get my beauty sleep ya know."
Everyone moves to a scure room to rest and recover. The time passes unevetfully, and you awaken, ready to continue your explorations.
Opening the southern doors, you see a row of beds sits along the southern wall of this well-lit room. Glowing screens and metal desks sit on the opposite walls, and splatters of blood adorn the floor and several of the beds. To the east, a large metal device that is the size of a large bed hums softly. Sitting in this room are two robots, one similar to the one in the room to the northeast, and the other is similar to the one encountered when you first entered! As you enter, they starts moving toward you!
The robots rush forward, attacking Richard and Alpha! The medical robot misses Richard, but the other slams into Alpha and grabs him with its pinchers!
Richard steps back, making room for the Cobbler to throw a bomb or tear the robots to shreds. He then levels his crossbow and fires at the one holding Alpha.
Alpha tries to escape the robot's grasp.
Kharax charges his fist with electrical energy. "Torracha, give these machinations your spark of life!"
"These things again?!" Maruf pulls out his longspear and reaches over to jab at the needle-fingered robot!
Richard steps back and fires his crossbow, hitting the robot, but the bolt seems to do little to no damage!
Alpha struggles, and breaks free from the robot's grasp!
Khrax charges his hand with electricity and touches the north robot! The electricity seems particularly effective!
Maruf jabs his spear at the needled robot, but just misses!
The two robots focus their attention on Kharax, landing two heavy blows, the northern one grappling the witch, while the southern one injects something into him! The southern let's go of Kharax as he slumps to the ground!
Richard curses like the Cobbler as Kharax falls to the robots' punishing attacks. Dropping his useless crossbow, he grabs the half-orc and drags him from the fight.
Alpha steps closer to the fray and imbues his shield with electricity before striking the northern robot.
Alpha casts a spell and swings at the northern robot, but misses!
Blood continues to spurt out of Kharax's body, the gaping wound showing no sign of stopping.
Alpha angles his blade and manages to hit the robot!
Richard drags Kharax back five feet and heals him, bringing the witch back to consciouness!
The Cobbler follows Richard's example and tries to one-up the android's potty-mouth. "Mother f@~!ing s&+@-eating f~~!er! F~+&ing bastard stop b&%*!ing around and come fight me, you c$$#! I'll put this f+~$ing spear up your metallic ass!"
All of his concentration went into the cursing and screaming, however.
Kharax CLW on himself
"My bolt bounced right off!" Richard calls out to the Cobbler. "Stabbing is no good, but your claws seemed to work before!"
Kharax heals more of his wounds, as Maruf takes a wild stab at the robot!
The two robots attack Alpha, but he easily dodges both attempts!
Alpha slams his shield into the red robot.
"Kharax, can you shock it again?" Richard grabs his sickle and jumps over a bed, then rolls across a second to end up behind the needled robot.
"Lessee you guys try that again!", scowls Kharax as he stands up, putting electrical energy into his hand again, and drives it into the needle robot!
Alpha swings, but misses!
Richard stabs the needled robot, damamging it!
Kharax reaches out and shocks the other robot, frying it ciruits! The robot collpases to the ground in a heap!
Maruf moves over and tries to spear the last robot, but misses!
The needle handed robot stabs Richard and injects something!
Alpha swings his shield again!
