"I've no idea what that thing be sayin', but I don't think it's gonna be friendly...you there, stop'er we'll knock ye down!" Dandy yells. He hefts Whelm and will throw it at the creature if it advances any further.

"What an odd language," says Ulster. He speaks greetings in all the languages he knows.
I was going to try to copy Pulpatoon here and post greetings in each language, but I couldn't possibly do the attempt justice.

Grimes - Fighter
Keeping Wave at hand, Grimes fishes in his pocket for the black and yellow cards he just found and says quietly to the others "You figure he saw me take these?" Without waiting for a reply, Grimes holds the cards up and says "Hey big fella, you lookin' for these?"
OOC: That's all I've got. I was going to have Grimes sing some Frank Zappa or something, but that might be over the top.

Furuk has his weapon in hand and is ready to attack, but waits to see what the metal creature does first.
OOC: We'll have to see how hostile this thing is before we bring out the Frank Zappa

Castinus, in honor of Mr. Zappa, keeps his hand on the hilt of his zircon-encrusted tweezers, ready for action.
By tweezers, I mean sword.

The metal creature seems to pause. You hear a whirring and strange noises (which sound like this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=H7dZHhCKBfo) from the beast, and then it says, in Common: Stop intruders. You are under arrest. Put your hands in the air where I can see them!

Re: Chapter 24 - The Expedition to the Barrier Peaks, part 1
Algrim tries to figure out a way to put his hands up while holding a shield and spear. Juggling them like a semi-pro entertainer then sighing and just sliding the shield over his arm and sticking the spear in the sling over his shoulder that he sometimes carries it in. then puts his hands up. "Why are we under arrest yah metal creature? What have we done wrong?"

"Of course," says Ulster. But there's a hint of a twinkle in his eye, and a sprig of mistletoe in his right hand...
Cast: create water. Target: the inside of the metal creature.
I sure hope that works.

Algrim will shuffle aside to provide Ulster room to do whatever he is planning.

Castinus slowly raises his hands, lest Indiana Jones accuse him of embarrassing himself.

Grimes starts to say something impolite and stupid to the creature, but pauses when he sees Ulster making his move. He says quietly "In case this doesn't work, I'll head around this thing."
He becomes invisible and moves a little to the side.

Re: Chapter 24 - The Expedition to the Barrier Peaks, part 1
You have broken into the desks of medical without a license, the creature's eyes, really red lights in its head, fixating on Algrim. As a consequence, you are under arrest. Drop your weapons and put your hands in the air.
A red light on the creature's head seems to follow the halfling after he turns invisible. I said, "Halt," intruder! You are under arrest. Reach for the sky! The distraction allows the druid to finish his spell. Halt intruder, you are under arrest! In a moment sparks fly and smoke slowly rises from the metal creature and it lands on the floor with a thud
It moves no more. An acrid smell hits you as a pool of dirty water pools beneath the robot.

Dandy nods at Ulster. "Nice work, whatever ye did there," he says. "Let's be movin' on?"
Nice! Druids rock with a little creativity. And only a L2 spell at that.

"Not just yet," answers Ulster, approaching the dead wet bot. "Let's see if we can figure out what makes these things go, in case we come upon more of them. I won't be able to do that trick again today." He'll look for a way to open up the metal automaton and look inside.
Wading in to a pool of water occupied by a shorting-out electrical contraption might not normally be wise, but Ulster has 144 hp of Protection from Electricity, so here we go!

Algrim the dwarf smiles at Ulster "Might handy that spell was. Great work there but how did yah know it'd work? I aint ever seen any creature like this before." the dwarf walks up to the defeated metal creature and taps it with a booted foot. "Don't spose we have any engineers or tinker gnomes among this crew eh?"

"Water is life," says Ulster. "The living need it. Metal and the non-living often do not react to it well."
