Grimes hands someone his mead and plays with the device which appears to be a brown metal box about the size of a tinderbox, with violet labels. When the hinged cover is lifted inside a panel of white horn-like material will be seen. In the center of the panel is set a metal mesh screen the size of a coin, while in the upper right corner is set a small blue gem. At the base of this screen a black square is set.

Image

Grimes depresses the square (after fiddling with various other bits). A moment later the small, metal golem which appeared to fix the broken panel in the previous room (or its identical twin) comes into the room. Again trying a few things, Grimes depresses the button and speaks into the box, telling the robot to make a pattern around the room. The creature does so.

Heh, there you go Grimes! Imagine opening a tavern with that thing behind the bar.... no end to the business you'd have knocking.

Grimes - Fighter

Grimes calls Dieter over. "Hey, Deets! Come see this!" He'll show Dieter how he made it go in a circle. "This guy could come in handy. I think a smart fella like you should keep this thing, I might muck it up." He hands Dieter the remote and again describes how he made it do his bidding.

OOC: Grimes is ready to move along with the others.

Algrim looks at the metal "man" shrugs and moves on to the next door that was not yet opened.

The party has a new metal companion whose capabilities are yet to be discovered.

After loading with stuff, the party moves on.

Image

Within this room a uniformed skeleton sits behind a desk built into which is a strange box. The long dead eyes stare from the inanimate skull. There is also a wardrobe or cabinet of some sort in here.

I'll give it a try Grimes...


Dieter will bring the metal man along, telling to to wait outside the door. He'll then take a closer look around the room and the wardrobe.

Castinus will examine the wardrobe for traps and any locks that need to be picked.
These are ghouls. They hang out in graveyards, they have long tongues, and they eat people.

Grimes follows closely behind Castinus, Wave at the ready. "Be careful, Casty. I've got your back."

Castinus finds a lock and Thief skill [1d100] = 22 picks it effortlessly.

The door swings open and within are three items:
  • the rags of a full dress uniform upon which are several gem encrusted medals (3 pieces of jewelry worth 1,000 - 4,000 g.p. each)
  • one of these:

  • the strange armor encountered before:

"Nice find Castinus."

Furuk takes a seat at the desk and directs his attention toward the skeleton.

"Has business been good lately?"

Algrim passes on this room and waits until the group wishes to move to another location.

Ulster looks around to see if anyone else wants to try out the new thingamajig (52), or if nature boy should fiddle with it.

Castinus swipes the three gems. He'll leave the new thingamajig to nature boy. :D

Nature boy will pocket the thingamajig for now, leaving experimentation for later when the group has some time to stand around in the same place for a while.

Algrim shakes his head feeling very much out of place in this odd alien like place. "Aint yah had enough poking an proding at things? Already watched as one o yah almost blew yer foot off."

Furuk fiddles with the suit. He finds a few buttons in back that open it and then turn it on, which results in a strange aura of force surrounding it. He is confident that he can use the suit as armor and that it would be better than even his current magical set of Elvin plate (although he might not be able to use his shield). A press of a button and a weapon built into right arm of armor above hand pops up: this has a pistol that also fires a beam of light built into it. This power armor seems well suited for the warrior half-orc.
