You head back to go buy some apples, and return some time later with a good amount of them and somewhat less gold. Heading to alchemy, you peek through the door to see what he wanted the wiggliness for, and then see something on him wiggling that you didn't really want to see wiggling by itself. You stick a Do Disturb sign on there and leave in haste.
Then you get an idea for a giant walking firebreathing lizard...robutt? Maybe you've been outside too much today, that last part doesn't make any sense. But theres plenty of scrap and it would be entertaining anyway.
First, you grab a lizard and remove its arse. You leave the rest of the lizard to cook while you start building the Walking Fire Lizard Robutt, starting with the butt before the lizard butt gets ruined.
Its not the best, but its mechanized somewhat. The rest of that area is fairly simple until you get to the legs.
The legs are a failure, in almost any sense of the word. You bring out your flame blade and get to work rearranging the wreckage into wheels instead, with
reasonable success. Though now that you have it out, there was a few rough edges in need of smoothing out before you move on, so you melt them into smoothness and move on while its cooling off.
Next is the Flame breathing apparatus. You go and quickly check your pyromancy book for something that would help while its cooling, and then open your closet looking for the materials. You only find the red feathers (which are a poor substitute for what you're supposed to use for a pyroagent, but were cheaper and enough fire will get it to work anyway), but a large amount of heat later (and a large bucket of water so you don't just melt your construct while adding them, though you were thirsty anyway), you have several pyroagents. You adjust the robutt so it can open and close and then add the fire breathing contraption to the inside of it
more or less securely. You dump the pyroagents inside except for one, drop that one into the ignition, and hope it doesn't just explode instead of starting up.
For lack of a better term, the 'glorious' 3-feet tall, 3-feet wide robotic flaming butt starts up. The doorway is undamaged by the test fire though; theres been far worst attacks than that on it. You walk it outside and attach a note since it won't fit in your room.
Ridiculous or not, the Fire-breather Robutt is built and owned by Petra Arcane. Steal at your own peril.
...Later on, theres another note attached to it:
Terrible. Mechanically impressive. Appraise you above average now.
