The word echoes in Tenpot's ears, long after parting from Killia's company.

Tenpot once again locks his dockside apartment, a satchel over one shoulder and a pistol on his hip. He takes a deep breath of salt air as he makes his way down to the docks. A few quiet inquiries later, he signs on to the crew of a freighter bound for Niswan. From there, who knows? Jalmaray? Deeper into Casmaron? Or southwest, to Holomog or Droon?

Peering into the failing containment field, Tenpot decides against staying in this room on his own. He dashes out the open door and into the hallway, where he sees Toadclobber rushing his direction. I'm assuming if we split up we would have been smart enough to leave the doors open so we could hear each other better. If that's not a fair assumption, then replace the Exploit Vulnerability action below with an Interact to open the door.

"I wonder what the K. stands for?" Tenpot muses, taking in the scene. "Guess there's an easy way to find out, huh?" He gestures to the lock. "Who's got the key?"

I have Tenpot leveled. Main things to flag at this level: Greater Resolve (so Will crit fails now become fails and fails take half damage, in addition to the success -> crit success of normal Resolve), and Tenpot has added another reaction to his collection (now up to 4!): Harbinger's Caw

Tenpot shifts forward for a better view, remaining far away from the edge of the island, then fires at the echo again before quickly reloading.

Tenpot scrambles to his feat, wide-eyed and still on the edge of panic as he fires off a shot at the echo. Before the report of his pistol even fades, he's moving quickly away from the edge, reloading with shaking fingers as he goes.

Tenpot shakes his head, hoping to clear the strange thoughts that are clouding his concentration, then tries once more to identify some sort of weakness in the echo.

I don't know why I read it as Will save (maybe because it's mental damage?), but that should be a Reflex save of 35, and Resolve wouldn't apply, so half damae for Tenpot. Sorry!

Tenpot feels an remnant of the control that allowed him to rearrange the previous dreamscape area, warping the echo's attack around himself. He takes a moment to wrack his brain for potential weakneses as he instinctively draws his gun and hops a little farther away, then follows Toadclobber's lead in attacking the echo. As his shot still rings through the area, he glares at the echo, hoping to shake its resolve.

Tenpot is overwhelmed as the power of the melded implements floods his mind. He reels for a moment, until the waves of overwhelming sensation subsides. Gaining some measure of control, he begins to manipulate the mindscape around him, first tentatively, then gaining confidence as he goes.
Took a stab at arranging the tiles on a new slide.

Tenpot carefully examines the mechanism from a safe distance. "Hmph. Everyone else stand back, I guess." He waits for his allies to move to what they think is a safe distance, then tries to safely remove the anchor.
