Nia will nod to Gegren and try her best to recall archaic elven to tell the automaton “Shut down. You must shut down.” Rolled an 8, beating a difficulty 2 task. So, not the best. One way or another, Nia will start looking for places to get out of sight. On Wed, Nov 26, 2025 at 1:39 PM Mike Bloy via Emerald Flame < emerald-flame@lists.incorporeal.org> wrote:

Chaos and panic dominate the group's reaction to the shattering stone and threat. Overlapping screams and yells to retreat back up top as they quickly flee (as quickly as they can while being blinded, anyway). If you were to follow them, you would see them hurriedly returning up the hole in the mud room, making no attempt to stop you or to hide their immediate fear. That said, you don't get the sense the whole company up top is packing up or anything, so you might have just bought yourselves some time, but you haven't accomplished a full retreat or anything like that.
Gegren beckons to Nia, then gestures to the automaton, saying "Nia, can you try to tell this thing to abort whatever directive it has, because if I move it'll go deliver itself to those guys, and I shudder to think what they'd do with something like this."
Addendum: if you stick around for those couple minutes, Dax gets the sense that you are being scryed upon, and you should all make difficulty 4 Intellect defenses.
[intellect defense failed. (d20=2 vs. diff. 4)] _______________________________________________ Emerald Flame mailing list -- emerald-flame@lists.incorporeal.org To unsubscribe send an email to emerald-flame-leave@lists.incorporeal.org
