Selkania sees in her mind an ocean of putrid flames burning down the woman. But she focus on the present and moves to be in position to shoot.
Lewdon darts into the room and attacks the android, but misses!
Selkania tosses fire at the woman, but misses as well!
As Kharax hesitates, a door to the south bursts open and four more deformed androids come spilling out to attack!
As the android rush the party, two attack Selkania and one attacks Kharax, two blows being landed!
Alpha continues to battle the crazed droid.
Richard backs into the room with the female android.
”Lewdon? I think you might want to step outside with that chainsaw... we have unexpected guests.”
Drawing his pepperbox pistol, he moves for a clear shot, he fires again with his stungun at the other gunslinger.
Kharax, step away! Says Selkania who concentrates.
Once Kharax have taking a step away she casts a Fireball !
After the fireball, Richard wonders if any androids will be left for Lewdon.
Alpha ignores the commotion outside the room and lands a solid blow against the female android!
Richard fires his stungun, hitting the android as well, but she still stands! He then steps out of the way, making room for Lewdon!
Selkania again casts a spell, filling the complex with flames!
As before, all the androids within the flames fall, their mangled bodies curling into deformed balls of agony!
As Selkania's mind is filled with Fire, she smiles when the bodies of the androids melts under her fire.
Then, he smile fades as she tries to recompose herself. No! I must stay strong.
Kharax's coat is caught on a piece of steel, the half-orc only noticing as he tries to support Richard and Alpha. Luckily, the blow from the enemy android frees him, tearing a hole in his garment. Now ready to act, he steps forward enough to see the woman and magically creates a ball of fire within her area!
The android easily avoids the flaming ball Kharax sends at her. At the same time, her eyes widen in crazed anger as the party closes in and she sees Lewd's chainsaw.
She raises her left hand, which holds a small device, to her temple and screams out , “You won’t take my mind! The Dominion can’t have my mind!” she then triggers the device, which is evidently a concussion grenade as it goes off, destroying her head and sending a shower of brains and gores raining down on Alpha and the walls!
The body collapses to the floor and everything goes silent.
"All of that was staggeringly illogical." Alpha responds as he is splattered by android gore. He attempts to wipe as much of it off as he can. Though it almost seems like he might be shaken up over the encounter, if that were possible.
"Some of this is useful at least." The android states as he holds up the fully charged timeworn commsets after rummaging around.
"Uhh, can't argue with that one Alpha."
Turning to Richard, Kharax comments, "Know what she was talkin' 'bout with the Dominion?"
Richard stands in mute shock, stunned and horrified by the android’s suicide until Kharax’s question snaps him out of it. ”She thought the ‘Dominion’ was going to take her mind... I’m not sure what to make of it. As Alpha said, this she was illogical.”
When the party searches the room the other four androids emerged from, you find this room’s shelves are relatively bare, with a few strange
cylindrical objects with strange writing on the side lying in sparse
piles on the shelves.
Examining the tubes, you find they goo tubes. There are 155 goo tubes left here in all. The strange writing is in Androffan, and if translated the words claim the contents to be all manner of concentrated flavors—flavors that the tubes haven't preserved particularly well. The food here is still viable, it just tastes foul.
Alpha cannot figure out anything about the Dominion. "What are these?" The android states picking up the various tubes.
I agree, her behaviour was not logical, except if she believes that we was part of this "Dominion" whatever it is.
After a short silence, she adds Lets continue our search, no trace - for now - of the Technic league agents... they must be somewhere.
Checking the room to the south, you find it empty and may have once been used as a storeroom, but its metal shelves are now haphazardly arranged and draped with thick cloth or metal plating. The result is a claustrophobic warren of passages throughout the room.
Nothing of interest is found in the room.
To the west, you can see a tight corridor the leads back deeper into the warren of rooms, while nearer, you see the southernmost of the large tube-like machines protruding from the wall of rubble has been significantly damaged, but some sort of jury-rigged cover has been affixed to the twisted end. Crusty strings of some sort of glistening residue hang from the edges of the tube’s cover.
Selkania moves closer to the damaged tube to examine it.
Richard gathers the femal android’s belongings, then looks over the other androids as well before heading over to give Selkania another set of eyes.
Also detect magic.
"Man, glad I got you guys at my side. This stuff is beyond me!", Kharax quips utterly lost in all the whatchamacallits and thingamajigs within the room.
Richard and Selkania examine the jury-rigged pipe, finding nothing remotely magically about it.
Richard is fairly certain the cap could be removed either brute force or finesse tinkering.
Selkania starts to disable the cap.
Her first attempt seems to not be successful so she stries again.
If Selkania has trouble with the cap, Richard will give it a shot.
