"Having been locked in a unit myself for the last 10 years, where do you think I'd learn to code?" Rix thinks for a moment, "Perhaps one of the guards or rooms had something like what you're looking for?" -
Aysu Perception Check (DC 3) - (5,4,4) 3 Successes Aysu hears some machinery and what sounds like a conversation far off in the distance down the right side of the hallway. <Looks like we're in luck, not sure how long that'll hold up though.> The Celestial boots up the console. "Do you know how to use one of these things?" MM Note: I'm assuming you're referring to the one with the Ornithun? Enson Engineering Check (DC 3) - (2,6,2,+1) 2 Successes Enson sneaks forward and attempts to open the chamber but finds it locked. The Ornithun inhabiting the pod wakes up and stares at the Quo'ri. A yellow mass swirls in the pod adjacent as a giant predatory fish swims gracefully in the opposite container. "..."

"Do you think to confuse my hatred for the man for mere dislike?" <Quiet Rix, the door opens.> Jonk punches in the code to the Western Vault causing the massive blast doors to slide open. A hallway stretches before the heroes to either side farther than the eye can see. Scaffolding and ladders ascend upwards at least fifty feet and before them in row after row are lines of containment units holding a plethora of flora, fauna, and all manner of creatures. "By Tiig's bosom, how are we goin' to find Jippo in all of this?"

Jonk Persuasion Check (DC 3) - (6,2,6,6) 3 Successes "Why trust in institutions when you know what suffering has been caused? Why should he be allowed the mercy of living longer than he ought, when it is within your power to judge him?" "Perhaps there is yet a way through his livin' we might still stop the sufferin' of others? Who knows what other info he might have that we may need while delvin' through the vaults. Jonk is right, he's but a cog and there's no use in crushin' a cog until we understand how the machine works." "If the machine is disassembled and the cog escapes destruction, who do you think I will blame?" Bertram looks anxiously at the heroes. "Perhaps, let's cross that bridge when we come to it." Rix nods his head and sheathes his blade still glaring at the doctor, but turns to follow the group. "Where to?" <I believe we were ready to journey back to the large hall.> Wollipog strides forward in his new mech suit leading the heroes back to the main gallery. From the entryway the group can hear the Phejharan Gold Feather ransacking the breakroom looking for food. MM Note: Ignore the enemies and the Gold Feather, I didn't have a picture without them.

MM Note: Hey folks just made it back home from traveling will have a full update tomorrow.
-
"He has caused great harm, should he not reap what he has sowed? Why do you fear serving as his judge, did you not already do so to other guards? Why should he be given such mercies?" The Camazon shakes his head dejectedly "What can you say? Will you give me the key?"

Enson Athletics vs. Doctor's Athletics - (3,4,6) 2 Successes vs. (1,1,1) 0 Successes The speed of the Quo'ri catches the doctor off guard as he shoves the man into the containment unit sealing it shut in one fluid movement. "What the? Hmmph... fine good luck, hope you don't get eaten by a hrogbog." Rix looks with anger at Enson. "What right do you have to deny me justice?" "Hmm... One of a kind aye? I'm sure the Archivist would pay a pretty penny for one such as you. Life in the collection isn't so bad, food, drink, a safe living space. Perhaps a little boring, but at least it's predictable." MM Note: Just a note folks, I'm currently traveling the next three days, so updates are going to be a little sporadic I'm afraid.

Enson Persuassion Check (DC 1,3) - (2,1,2,6) 0 Successes "Apart from the collection being filled with monsters, cursed artifacts, and nightmarish powers you can only imagine? Do they not have keys where you come from?" The doctor moves over to the desk with alchemical reagents, rearranging the bottles. "Mercy? Do you have any idea the kind of stuff he's done to those in the collection?" "All at the request of my employer of course, mind you." Rix seems to be becoming more agitated as the interrogation continues. Jonk Sleight-of-hand vs. doctor Perception - (3,5,2,3,5,+1) 3 Successes vs. (2,3,6,1,4) 2 Successes Jonk manages to fish around in the doctor's coat pockets undetected and pulls out: Crescendo (Consumable, Used as part of the Attack Action, grants three attacks but then inflicts Stunned the next round) Scrap of Paper

Jonk notices the wrinkles and aged lines across the Camazon's face. "When ones existence of merely eleven cycles is nothing but pain, wouldn't you question everything in your life?" MM Note: The information given will still be based on the original intimadtion roll. If Enson wants to try another tactic, there may be other things to be gleaned. "Oh, I'd say the Archivist employs a good dozen at least. Business has been busy as of late and the collection takes a lot to manage..." The masked man strolls toward the table with the glass bell jar. "As for rooms," The doctor unfurls a blueprint on the table. "Satisfied?" As Enson reaches for the trident a jolt of electricity jumps from the weapon zapping the Quo'ri. (-2 Damage) "If you intend to simply waltz about the place, I'd suggest more caution, unless of course you have a death wish."
-
"Are you familair with Camazon physiology? Would you believe a Camazon brain's pain center is directly linked to their pituitary gland?" The Camazon pauses for a moment before sighing, "How old do you think I am?"
-
MM Note: Just an FYI, neither Aysu or Jonk have intimidation as a proficiency, so there is no assistance to give in this case. Rix glares at Enson before stewing in the background. "And how will you know if he is lying?" Enson Intimidation Check (DC 1,3) - (5,6,1) 2 Successes "I talk to myself. It gets a little lonely since most of the specimens don't talk back." The doctor glances behind him at the passage. "Split path, one heads back to a storeroom near the entrance, the other goes directly outside."
-
"I'm sorry, who? I have neither the time nor patience to learn the personal monikors of everything in the collection." "Again, who? Look if you want money, I can get you some credits. Information, I can give it, but if you're looking for the Archivist you've got the wrong man." "Why are we dealing with this man?" Rix takes a step forward looking to gut the humanoid. "Weren't you all listening when I told you, I had a plan?" Enson Perception Check (DC 5) - (5,3,6) 2 Successes Enson peers into the passage, but doesn't see anything.
-
An explosion goes off in the passage followed by a yelp of pain. "What in the ever loving Hel!" A minute later a singed and pale looking individual emerges into the lab. "Ah has the good doctor decided to join us?" "Sod, how did you get out?" Rix unsheathes the rime dagger menacingly. "Does it matter? The question you should be more concerned with is would you prefer your death fast or slow, Doc?" The humanoid glances at the rest of the group, keeping his hand on the secret door. "You let this loon out? Look we can come to some sort of an arrangement, right?"
-
Enson Insight (DC 2) - (6,5,1,1) 2 Successes (Persuasion checks with Bertram -1 to DC) "I care about them... I just... I just wouldn't be able to live with myself for leavin' him again. Please let me do this. I'll stay out of yer way, I can carry what you need." <Your willingness to try is most comendable my good sir. Such generosity would be befitting the nobelest of sorcerers from my kingdom.>

"Do you mean the rather sobbing white faced Changeling?" Jonk Sleight of Hand Check (DC 3) - (5,2,2,2,5,+1) 3 Successes As the Celestial runs his hands across the wall, he finds a slight impression next to the door. Jonk Perception Check (DC 1,3,5) - (1,1,1,1) 0 Successes Jonk notes the key is for containment unit 22A. A quick glance around the room yields little of interest to the hero, a table filled with alchemical solutions, a display cabinet with another weapon, a lab bench with scientific experiments, another table with some sort of creature peering back at him.
-
Jonk Perception Check (DC 1,3) - (2,1,3,4) 1 Success Jonk finds the outline of a secret passage, but is unable to find the appropriate mechanism to open it. The Celestial can hear voices on the other side of the door, though the exact words are muffled. "I get it, I'm not as strong or as though as all of ya, but I let Jippo get nabbed the first time. He's here because of me. I'm not leavin' him again." MM Note: @Duvors I'm ok if you want to try and convince Bertram to leave, just bold your action if you decide to go down that path. Aysu Engineering Check (Assisted by Enson) (DC 3) - (1,4,6,+1) 3 Successes Aysu and Enson tinker with the robot utilizing a few parts scrapped around the lab. After a few minutes a functional mech suit appropriate for someone of Wollipog's proportions is ready.

"Hey now, no need to get snippy. He's my friend. Of course I'm coming with." Bertram seems unconvinced of Enson's argument. Enson Technology Check (DC 1,3) - (6,4,4) - 3 Successes Enson Perception Check (DC 1,3) - (2,6,2) - 1 Success The Quo'ri finds the other cabinet occupied by a golden scorpion, and sheefs of lab notes. Under one particular file he finds a torn piece of paper. The robot seems to be quite disreppaired, but with a little elbow grease could probably be repurposed to carry someone of a small stature.
-
"I just ducked in to the storage closet, didn't expect to get wacked on the head and trussed up here. Where are we right now anyways? Did ya find Jippo?"
-
As the heroes gather around the sleeping Bertram, the group puts their heads together and with all their experience come up with a solution. Jonk deftly adjusts the levers as the machine powers down, the dwarf slowly regaining conciousness. "Oh my head... was wondering when ya lot were goin' to show up." Rix moves forward and unlocks the dwarf's chains, before turning to the party indicating the rest of the room. "What else do you folks need? Or where to next?"
-
MM Note: No problem, I'll give folks about 12hrs to get a response in.
-
MM Note: Hi Folks, @Scubacarrot Pointed out a deficiency in the setup. The limitations should list: Sorry for the confusion
-
MM Note: Yes, the interactions of the first two occur when the stimuli are both active. The solution to the puzzle would also work if the interaction applied when both were also inactive, but since that doesn't make sense thematically, the last two entries are another way of stating this. MM Note: Say you flipped the Alchemical Solutions lever off, before the fatal interaction between the Radiation and Frequencies occured, you'd have enough time to throw the Alchemical Solutions back to on.
-
MM Note: If anything is unclear, please feel free to ask questions.

The creature reaches out and selects the Rime Dirk, twirling it expertly. "Oh, this will do nicely, won't it? Mind calling me Rix?" Rix Joins the Party!

Enson Perception Check (DC 2) - (1,6,4) 2 Successes Enson finds a lab note book detailing the somnotic sequence of the machine with a few particulars. Devious Device PuzzleIn order to disable the device, the 3 levers must be switched to off. Please send your potential solution (i.e. which order the levers will be thrown) to me via PM. Everyone with a correct answer will receive a character point.

"Do I look like a doctor?" The creature gives a wry chuckle, "Would you believe me if I told you the order of exposure means life and death?" Enson Engineering Check (DC 1) - (3,3,1,+1) 1 Success The monitor seems to be controlling a number of tubes delivering alchemical solutions, resonators that regularly deliver a dose of some sort of energy, and a sonic interface sweeping the dwarf with high frequencies sounds. There are on/off levers for each stimulus. "Where do you think they keep me, when they don't need me?" "Got a knife on you?" The creature looks around, "What? Do you think I'm leaving here without shanking ol' pale face for the number of times he's cut me open?" The creature lifts his shirt to reveal at least a hundred scars across his torso. "Oh you're up for causing mayhem are you? How does absolute chaos work for you?"
