"That's exactly my point." "So it doesn't bother you that you've unleashed a threat that intends to destroy your organization? You're putting all of your allies at risk." "Wally will be gone by the time we get up there, she put herself in there so that we couldn't find him." "Consider it a test. Let me out and maybe Wally was wrong to-" "Whether he is wrong or right doesn't matter if he gets away to continue his crimes." "You really think I would betray him like that?" "Look, just get me out of here. If you let me die here, Wally won't rest until you're wiped out." "He's insane. Saving you isn't going to change his mind, either."

"You're playing RIGHT into their hands. You had a hand in starting this - we both did. You have a responsibility to finish it," snapped Avina. "Otherwise he'll come back with something that can actually kill heroes."

Atramor shuffles through his deck briefly and attempts to summon his Pegasus (Luminous 8) from the back row, eyeing Ellaria with a nod. "Sounds good to me."

"...I told him...that...maybe we should give it all up." "Just like that, huh? After all this?" "Bombs. Big'uns. A last resort that Wally switched on before he left. I'd say we've got maybe three minutes left." Kellim hammers against the cell for a bit, but it becomes clear that it will take all the party's strength to bust her out. "You're all going to have to team up if you wanna get me out before the place cook-" The elevator shuddered to a halt as it arrived just behind Avina, ready to be taken up to the surface. "...Yeah? And how long will that take?" Ervie blinked, getting suspicious. "A minute or two....don't worry, you'll be able to get me out and reach the surface in time." "But not Wally. He has a headstart." "...Maybe." "...You're a pathetic little creep, you know that?" Avina divested herself of her mask, jamming her finger at the kobold, and at the smashed chamber controls, and also at the elevator mechanism. "Wally is an inventor. How he could have overpowered a kobold, and why would he have just put her in this cell? This sabotage work is just sloppy, and that broken elevator lever had bite marks on it. She locked herself in there to buy him time while we wasted ours busting her out." Ervie glared, baring her sharp fangs. "As if Wally would ever do that to me." "You didn't give him a choice, did you?" "If you leave me here to die, you're just proving everything he's fighting against you for." "But it won't matter, because we'll actually be able to stop him. If we waste time getting Ervie out, he'll almost certainly get away. She did this to herself, I say we go take care of Wally. If we let him slip away, this will have been for nothing. He'll just come back again."

But the move only happens after the round anyway...right?

The canisters were sealed with no visible mechanism of opening. A red skull with an EK across the forehead was painted onto each, probably to makes its contents more obvious. The Vibrataphone was looping the alarm. There didn't seem to be any visible means of opening the chamber. The mechanism appears to have been smashed. "No good, he sabotaged the controls. Wally went crazy, locked me in here. He's gone, probably back into hiding..." "How obtuse. We're maybe a minute behind him; as soon as the elevator gets down here, catching him should be easy." "Maybe, but it's going to take time if you want to get me out of here. These chambers are very durable, but between the five of you, busting me free should be fairly trivial." "....Hm. Interesting. And oddly convenient."

Atramor moves to the Nautili Loading area. Dumora attacks Uthrin, and uses both Foe Smiter and her shield from the back row. We are going to get free hit to death if Ellaria doesn't drop a smoke bomb, so...can you not run the round until she does so?

Miderun's face turned into a rather grim frown. "I almost did not believe it. It bothers me. The Wolfgang are very dishonorable...they have blackmailed the weak and poisoned the minds of children." She paused. "...but if they are what is needed to liberate my kind in Uland, then...perhaps I might tolerate them. If they are the only ones who will stand with the orocund, then there is little thought for me in the matter. What do you know of it?" "I just told them what what is. All that shiz is pushing them off this dragon if they continue to argue." "That is almost reasonable. Good. I doubt Bain expects us to help them slaughter the Star Elves. Those Gourm-Suulgauno seemed....uptight, but not hostile. Perhaps we may impose peace here yet...," Miderun trailed off, as if envisioning the heroes in the act.

Sorry for the delay, but we're right at the end. One more battle, maybe. Depending on choices. Kellim doesn't find anything of significance on the automaton bodies.

Above them, a a dim red light shone down on them, along with a shrill, pitched alarm. "I feel as though we needn't try and figure out what that means." Eventually they located some rickety metal stairs on the other side of the room, and proceeded upward. The room still felt immense even as they gained some height, and suspended on more cables from the ceiling was a laboratory/workshop, with a huge variety of tools lying about....including some huge metal canisters that appeared to be triggering the alarm, judging by the table next to them with a Vibrataphone mounted on it generating the sound. Avina jogged past it, towards what looked like an elevator of some sort...a platform much like the one Wally had departed on inside a long shaft. The lever operating mechanism appeared to have been broken off, likely in sabotage, but Avina promptly jammed a dagger into it and yanked downward. Clanking sounded above them, assumedly the elevator. "Sloppy. Was he expecting to slow us down enough for these bombs to kill us? No matter. We should be able to catch the little freak." She stepped back a bit, waiting for the elevator to chug downward. A series of sealed chambers caught the party's eyes - some were empty. Some were occupied by automatons. The one nearest the elevator had an unexpected occupant. "Took you long enough, are you gonna let me out?"

Battle Order Nur Atramor Ellaria Tesni Dumora Tesni attacks the Mythril Drill from the front row with Mellt, and Dumora does the same. If it is already defeated they move to the Nautilus.

Loot Miderun - Health Core, Greater Potion Kiray - Grating Stone, Grand Potion Bobby - Skeleton Decoy, Health Core Na'im - Skeleton Decoy, Grand Potion Germ - Skeleton Decoy, Health Core Mhinak - Skeleton Decoy, Grand Potion Miderun clutched tightly onto one of Grigorlis' spines, a bit uncharacteristically nervous as the party soared through the sky out of the prison. Miderun stared at the paper for a while. It had been months now she since had learned the Common letters courtesy of some borrowed books, but the speed left something to be desired. She squinted at the parchment briefly, but could hardly make anything out, and eventually just handed it back to Na'im. "Uh, yes. Right, terrible. We should maybe discuss those...findings?...after we land." "Plenty...why? I doubt the orocund of Baltarok can help us now..." she trailed off a bit, as if considering the possibility. The thought quickly passed. "Tarok, grog il okuul dir laz..." she grumbled under her breath, nearly having to literally bite her tongue to keep from snapping at the pair. "...You each....need to pick a side, and stick with it, and OBEY what-" Miderun slowed down, and luckily the grinding of her teeth are drowned out by the sound of Grigorlis cutting through the air. "-....choose a side. If it is not ours, then go. We are trying to fix things, so we must unite, not break like the Star Elves have."

I have plans for a quest involving Grogmas.

Everyone needs to set up conditionals. Atramor can maybe one hit the drill and if it's down at any point we need to be moving on to the next area immediately, we're super low on time now. Atramor coughs as he gets up, brushing a lot of dirt and ash off his coat as he tries to figure out what's going on. "Well, damn. 'Least I got one of 'em." He slashes the Mythril Drill from the front row twice.

Round Nine of Requiem for a Machine >Mortimer vs. Dispatcher (Tritech) -Special Damage: EXECUTE (Mortimer KO'd, Dispatcher level halved) Annienal vs. Dispatcher (Aquamarine) - Shield: Spellblade Spin (Six hits, 35x2 = 70 damage each hit, Snapshot Squad KO'd, 200 damage to Dispatcher, -6 ether) Keliim vs. Snapshout Squad Z Dispatcher (Ori Axe) - Extra Critical Hit (86 - 20 = 66 damage, Dispatcher KO'd) Calamity remedies Avina Avina vs. Dispatcher (Z&S) The Dispatcher stands ready as Annienal charges up her sword with magic, cutting through the Snapshot squad with relative ease. Mortimer tries lining up a handcannon shot, but the automaton gets in close, cutting him down with its energy blade. Annienal stabs it in the back - four times - while it's turned away, and as it falls, Kellim neatly lops its head off. The wire-filled hole where its neck used to be explodes impotently, smoke billowing from inside its chest cavity. THE BATTLE IS VICTORIOUS!! Annie, Kellim, and Calamity level up. The enemies drop a Mythril Shard, 2 Grand Potions, and 30 gold. Party leader, how will the loot be divided? Mythril Shard 2 Grand Potions 30 Gold The onslaught of automatons is disturbed, briefly. A jolt seems to go through the entire army, and for a moment, they seem....shocked. It appears disabling the Dispatcher has given them time, although how much is impossible to say. "Now is our chance," insists Avina, reaching down to help up Mortimer. "That little rat had to be moving towards an exit, hopefully somewhere near the back of the room...well, it'd better be near the back of the room, because our other exit is sealed." She looks over towards the momentarily halted automatons. "And I don't know how long we've got, so we should probably go now."

Miderun covers her eyes with her hand as the sudden sunlight shines down upon the party, nodding at Na'im. As soon as the others arrive, the party departs on Grigorlis.

It's not that great a weapon.

I can autoroll if need be if you can decide on a course of conditional actions.
