"I'm getting too old for this," Castinus grumbles, with a sharp look at Ulster. "Let's go someplace else."

Re: Chapter 24 - The Expedition to the Barrier Peaks, part 1
While the others are eager to move on, Algrim decides to push a few more buttons.
more d12 rolls [1d12] = 7, [1d12] = 8, [1d12] = 8, [1d12] = 3
Three of the buttons appear to have no effect. Then the fourth is clicked and the scrying wall seems to malfunction: the image skewed and torn, a pop is heard, and the wall goes blank. Green and amber lights begin to flash in the room.
Moments later a mechanical being enters the room, muttering something in an incomprehensible language. It seems to ignore you and begins cleaning and repairing damage that the small fire that Castinus started.

"Yeah, we better get out of here before something nasty shows up," agrees Ulster as he heads out of the room.
Re: Chapter 24 - The Expedition to the Barrier Peaks, part 1
The party heads out of the room and into the hall. Just as they are deciding where to go next, two more metal creatures come in from the room requiring the red card.
These look like the ones you encountered previously:
They say, Halt. Intruders detected in this section. Identify yourselves or be arrested!

Algrim waits for the card holders to show their cards to the things.

Grimes rolls his eyes and says under his breath "Oh no... not these guys again." He cautiously awaits the results of our negotiations.

Ulster shows his orange card.
Re: Chapter 24 - The Expedition to the Barrier Peaks, part 1
The cards are flashed. Upon seeing the grey card the beast seems to stand taller (if that's possible for such a metal contraption), its right appendage goes to its "head" and it says, My mistake sir. I did not recognize you out of uniform. You may pass. We need to investigate an occurrence in Computer Central.

Re: Chapter 24 - The Expedition to the Barrier Peaks, part 1
Ulster breathes a sigh of relief. Once they're away form the security golem, he winks at Dieter and grins. "If you think this means I'm going to start calling you 'Captain,' you're nuts."
Edit: Ulster smiles at Dieter, not at himself. D'oh.

Yes, let's be gone from here. Dieter will make his way out of the room.
Winking back at Ulster: Agreed, unless were 4-5 pints under the table I don't think Captain is appropriate.
OCC: Next grey card room or ??

Might as well hit the red card rooms if we can.
