It's a bit clunky, but you could. You either successfully convince it, or you just grab it and far step across, as Gegren would deem fit. It continues on back towards the mud room, if you let it
Gegren makes a running leap at the automaton, teleporting as he grapples it. As he appears on the other side of the chasm with the automaton, he drops to the ground and backs away to see what it will do.
It sounds like multiple voices, somewhat commandingly discussing something. [Give me a difficulty 5 Intellect task and I can give you all the deets, or if you get close, some deets.]
Gegren pauses after teleporting, trying to figure out the nature of the commotion he hears, and their intent in being here if possible. [understanding the commotion from the entrance. (spending effort and eased by "seeing through deception", maybe?) succeeded, with a minor effect! (d20=19 vs. diff. 5-1)] As he's listening, Gegren will have a dagger out, and will attempt to be both hidden in shadows and between the automaton and the source of the voices.
