The robot in front of Raktar suddenly launches into the ceiling, his chainsaw swinging into the air it used to occupy before it's parts crunch back to the ground. Switching targets he sprints across the room towards one of the robots shooting at Korvan, his chainsaw screaming as he thrusts it at the robot's midsection.

Olimopia spring attacks to attack with Raktar. After the attack she stands her ground, holding two weapons.
With the green-hued robot destroyed, Korvan moves on toward the yellow one.
Raktar misses. Olimpia doesn't. :)
Korvan slams his blade into Yellow.
Figgy & Dilana?
Knowing that her hexes will not do anything against these creature and not wanting to waste more spells Dilana draws her Inferno Pisol as she moves. Grabbing it with both hands she pulls the trigger for the first time at a moving target.
She gives a small woop noise as she thinks she did pretty well.
Figgy aims and shoots again at blue as it moves in behind Korvan. "Korvan behind you, these are Security Mannequin but the seem stronger, they are resistant to fire and electricity. You will really have to put some power behind a blow to get through their hardened bodies." Figgy yells
"Pew pew."
Dilana & Figgy target the Blue automation. Figgy notes he does less damage than Dilana?
Yellow backs away 5' from Korvan and shoots at him, without making Pew Pew sounds.
Blue targets those shooting at her.
Targeting Figgy
Red attacks Olimpia
[ooc]That's an AOO from Raktar & Olimpia[/b]
The party may now act.
The robot seems momentarily vulnerable when it turns to shoot at Olimpia and Raktar uses the opening to his advantage, pressing the attack with his chainsaw.
Raktar spares a second to check that the rest of the group are holding their own as he continues to attack the robot, his chainsaw shrieking as it parts the air.

Surprised that the robot would take such a chance Olimpia attempts to put her sword through it.
Korvan steps up to the yellow-hued robot and takes a pair of swings.
Dilana beams as her shot connects and she quickly attempts to line up another as she thinks about how useless her hexes are at the moment. As she pulls the trigger she again uses her battle cry. "Pew pew."
vs touch
Raktar takes advantage of the Bot's move and his chainsaw screeches as it cuts it into two.
Korvan cuts Yellow into several pieces, his adamantine blade ignoring it's metal resistance.
Dilana misses despite the oral assistance.
Silence grows as the last of the mockeries of human beings is destroyed.
Loot:
Stun gun (4)
Breastplate (4)
Concussion grenade (12)
Close examination of the floor symbol reveals that the entire design is actually comprised of tiny symbols.
A lingusitic check identifies the symbols as fragmentary excerpts from complex programming code written in Androffan.
The machinery in the walls are charging stations that can be used to recharge items or robots alike. They currently have 30 charges.
What are you doing now?
Figgy jolts as the stun gun hits him, almost dropping his own pistol. With his large and more melee focused friends finishing off their enemies he looks around. "Thank you for the help. Springy you need to stay clear of those electric guns they could really hurt you." Figgy then moves over to see what they found and more about these Security bots.
Dilana does a very clumsy attempt at spinning her gun on her finger before she blows on the barrel smiling.
"Good job shiny."
She eyes the grenades and takes one of the concussion ones mumbling "No reason."
Silence from the next room to the north. Chargers in the walls for those who need some topping up.
what are you doing?
"Anything up that passageway will have heard us," Raktar says, "we should keep moving." He raises his chainsaw and moves to look up the corridor leading northwards.
Olimpia will take the chance to charge her helment before advancing.
'Lets charge some batteries before we progress." Figgy says pulling the battery out of his Arc Pistol
E8. Steam Bath
A mess of intertwined tubes and pistons occupy the east and west walls of this chamber. Corridors exit the space to the north and south. A section of the west wall is made of a slightly recessed slab of polished metal that disrupts the regular pattern of smaller gray metal plates on the walls. Bright lights glow in the ceiling fifteen feet above.
No one seems to be here. A passage continues north, and there is the door to the west.
What are you doing now?
[b]Someone check for magic as we pass through.[/ooc] Olimpia whispers as she continues to stealth through the room, choosing to go north for now. She pauses at the door to listen and check for traps.
Dilana takes the time to use Detect Magic as she moves slowly though the room. She gives the spell enough time to do its thing before doing the same down the hallway and into the next room.
His pistol reloaded Figgy checks his supply of vials and bombs making sure they are all at the ready. "springy stick close I may need you to fly something to someone, or you can spit acid." Figgy says with a smile
Olimpia The door cannot be opened on this side.
Trap: Any attempt to open the door to the west other than via the touch pad on the western side (inaccessible from this room) triggers a trap. Nozzles extend from the tubes and pistons on the walls to vent steam into the area as soon as any attempt to open the door is made-successful or otherwise.
So you move on
E9. Geothermal Generator Array
This twenty-foot-wide room has a towering pillar of glowing metal and flashing lights looming fifty feet up into the silo-like space above. The towering pillar periodically vents small puffs of steam, and the air within is cloyingly warm. Condensed water drips down the walls to pool on the floor.
This array of pillars constitute a single large geothermal generator built to provide a source of energy for the caves. One of the generator pylons is currently nonfunctional, and as a result, the generator's maximum yield is only 150.
Power source. A big one. What are you doing now?
"It's sweaty in here," Raktar mutters as he looks up at the steaming towers, much perferring the hard, dry heat of the forge. "Are these things dangerous?" he asks no-one in particular as he looks around for any lurking robots.
Hey Figgy lets see what is wrong with this generator here. Perhaps I can help you fix it later.
Eventually Olimpia will make it up to the door and check it for traps, taking 10 for a 41.
Figgy follows along and is smiling like a mad man when he sees that this is new technology for him and wants to fix it. "Good Idea, like that giant machine spider we have to go back for as well." Figgy says moving to the Pylon following Olimpia's exact steps as best as he can with his small legs.
"They regulate power, so if we activate this one we could get more power to this place."
It would take some time to repair the pylon, but you believe you can do so when you have less pressing matters to deal with.
The door isn't trapped or locked to the next room.
E10. Generator Controls
This twenty-foot square room is empty, save for an array of blinking lights and glowing consoles built into the northern wall. To the west, a large metal panel interrupts the regular pattern of smaller metal plates adorning the walls.
The door to the west has a panel that opens the door, untrapped in this case.
The wall of screens and controls to the north is used to control the power distribution ofthe geothermal generators. A character who studies the panels for 2d6 minutes can attempt a DC 25 Knowledge (engineering) check to decipher the controls. This allows the user to deactivate the lighting in the entire complex or to deactivate the trap in area E8-each
of these subroutines deactivated raises the reactor's available yield in area E7 by 10.
Something in the next area is currently consuming 100 additional yield; it can be deactivated here.
What are you doing now?
Figgy gives the panel a quick look then stops dead in his tracks. "This panel will allow me and Springy to reroute power and turn off that trap Olimpia round earlier. Olimpia come here I will show you how this works and maybe we can cut the time down." Figgy says
Olimpia studies the panel but looks confused. There are a lot of wires.
"Yes there are but if you look at it like this..." Figgy goes in to a long convoluted explanation
What are you doing now?
perhaps we can cut the power to this last area?
"You know more about this than me," Raktar replies, "but all this must be powering something big. And whatever it is, I suspect it knows we're here. We should get moving," he suggests, stepping up to the western door and listening for anything moving beyond.
You can here something large and metallic moving around behind the door, and the hum of powered machinery.
What are you doing now? Whatever it is will immediately notice the power being cut.
"Sounds like there's something big and robotic through there," Raktar says, gesturing at the door. "I doubt it'll react well once we turn off the power. Let me know when you're ready and I'll get the door open so we can get in quickly."
Figgy automatically succeeds in turning off the power, you can all hear something large and metallic immediately moving towards the door.
What are you doing now?
"Something's coming," Raktar calls from the door. "Get ready," he says, opening the door and raising his chainsaw to confront whatever might be on the other side.
Olimpia steps to the side and into a shadow.
Raktar sees a strange robot heading towards the room when the door is opened.
This complex-looking automaton’s multiple arms end in gripping talons. It moves about on a set of four legs and has a strange bell-shaped head.
The spider-like robot on the other side of the door is a nightmare in metal. "Hold here, let it come to us," Raktar says, bracing himself to receive the robot's attacks as it approaches, his chainsaw ready to strike back.

Korvan is just about ready to charge headlong into danger again, as is his normal mode of operation, when Raktar speaks up. Stabbing his greatsword into the ground in front of him for easy access, he un-slings his rifle and takes aim.
