Gwynn swallows hard at the suggestion. Okay... She said, walking up.
Hey there, hons. She said. If you don't mind, me and my group here have a tight schedule to keep, but thank you for making this easy for us. We'll be back for the next report. She turned, blowing a kiss and waving goodbye, as soon as she turned, she made a face to the rest of her group that told them. Power-walk, people.
Redo
Lanliss turns to Gwynn He whispers.
I wonder what they're whispering about
Nothing good, I think. Gwynn said. Think we should be worried?
"Maybe. They seem secretive. But then again, they could be talking about what their boss wants for his next meal.
We might as well not linger, shall we depart?
Well, we have no reason to stay. Boron is done talking. Though if we leave suddenly, it may look suspicious.
Not necessarily, the questions we were sent to have answered have been. Lingering might be just as suspicious
The Orc guards leave the room, walking at a brisk pace one takes the time to shut the door behind him.
Perception please.

Lanliss looks at Azrael and notices him staring.
"What's wrong?"
"I think you need a better read on Orc facial structure," Serephina murmured, "Because I think it was more of 'I'm glaring at you in distrust.' Of course, feel free to hit him up. Maybe he wants to cuddle."
I did happen to notice a rather suspicious looking part of the floor. Wouldn't want the guards to know that we know Abel speaks in Elven rather than common hoping at least one of his other companions can speak it as well
Gwynn winks and blows a kiss at the man right after his glare. If anything, she was hoping to catch him off guard. Though her inner monologue was asking. Why did I just do that?
Don't listen to Seraphina. Of course he is, Azrael. You've got that... chiselled hero look to you. She slaps him gently on the shoulder, smiling at him.
I'll talk to them, if you want. Maybe I can salvage things.
Hearing Abel speak on Lanliss's native tongue suprises Lanliss, but he recovers
Suspicious how?
It was much cleaner than the rest of the floor, their were holes in the floor as if rivet's were supposed to be there, but they were not. It might be something worth us looking into, i believe something is being hidden. which is why i did not bring it up in Common, just in case so it would not be known that i had seen something Abel Continues in Elven
At this point I should point out that there are three doors to this rather spacious room. The door people have entered and exited through, and two side-by-side bay doors that are shut and too heavy to lift. Some basic knowledge of factory layouts might suggest the switch and/or button to open them is 9/10 times going to be in the small office cubicle lined with the stench of... victory. We'll go with victory.

So... Which door?
Lanliss pauses. He walks to the door they came in through.
Are they standing on the other side? Oh, Kalmista guide me.
I'm going to open the door, be ready, they may be on the other side.
With that, Lanliss opens the door.
Lanliss pauses. He walks to the door they came in through.
Are they standing on the other side? Oh, Kalmista guide me.
I'm going to open the door, be ready, they may be on the other side.
With that, Lanliss opens the door.
After opening the door, Lanliss sees...
He SEES...
The same thing as last time. The open doorway reintroducing the sounds of whirring machinery in their full volume to his ears. Only now, the two guards from the previous room are standing just outside of the office, and Boron is wayyy on the other side of the large room, applying a wrench to the back of the cookie dispenser.
"Ey, hands in the air!" One of the guards shouts at Lanliss, drawing attention from the guard at the door the party entered from.
i would rather not fight but if we must i will
"I doubt prisoners are treated to tea and crumpets, and if we run we'll bring the whole place down on us in one go." Serephina agreed, moving to fight.
Gwynn swallowed. Well, looks like it's blood. She thought, taking a step forward.
What is this insolence? our employer will have your heads for this! I command you alll to put down your weapons.
Think you can trick us!? The same guard yells out, drawing his blade. The other as well, and the guard across the room begins to run.
Roll initiative everybody.
Abel Sighs, Very well then if it must be this way,
Lanliss draws his rifle and grits his teeth
Well, the buggers want to play rough, time to give them a right proper arse-kicking. She said, simultaneously stepping back and trying to keep her knees from shaking.
And, everybody's up first.
Initiative order:
Azrael
Abel
Seraphina
Lanliss
Gwynn
Boron
Guards 2 and Cookie machine
Guards 1, and 3
Abel moves into the room, closing the distance between himself and a guard. Let us pray to not be sheltered from dangers, but to be fearless while facing them

Gwynn pulls out an implement, a silver bell hung by a velvet string, with it's ring, She attempts to cast sleep on the nearest guard(s).
Serephina held off, as her offensive abilities were strictly lethal.
Lanliss raises his rifle and a small spark of electricity shoots out.
Luckily, the only party member who's engaging in melee charged far away from the AoE of sleep.
Azraels blade is guided true (well, the non-stabby end. So, not the blade), directly on target, the human man gasps for air.
The water-born waxes wisely whilst withdrawing wanton wisdoms from within.
Seraphina chooses not to kill someone.
As shouting quickly escalates into violence, the nearly dozen unarmed workers start to leave in a hurry, avoiding the combatants as much as possible.
The display of sparks Lanliss fires are not an uncommon sight in the industrial district, and no more harmful than usual this time.
Gwynn gently waves the bell from the bottom of the red string, causing the guards in front of her to stumble to and fro. They regain their senses quickly however.
Oh, screw this, I'm outta here! Boron loudly declares his next course of action as he slams a panel shut on the robot.
Awright ya hunk a' scrap and gears, Boron loudly declares the robots next course of action as he points to the quiet bodyguard, Azrael. He proceeds to move his way out of the building.
Guards 1 and 2 both head in a straight line in front of them, Guard 1 provoking an Attack of opportunity from Abel on his charging lane, heading towards the would-be enchantress. Mean while, guard 2 attacks Abel, who is blocking his way.
The robot churns with life as it moves disturbingly fast to strike the Paladin from the side. It's arms whir with exposed gears as it swings widely overhead. The Bronze top hat holds tight. Evidently, whomever crafted this construct thought it could do with head gear as well.
If it connects:
The exposed gears turn out to have a brutal apparent function, this design would give OHSA officials an aneurysm if they caught wind of it.
The guard Azrael checked now tries to strike in retaliation, since there's no back-up like murder robot back-up. Unfortunately, he doesn't seem to be swinging non lethally.
Abel swiftly dodges the guards attack and goes to strike the charging guard in the neck
