>develope steam trebuchet. The swing is increased with steam pistons and automatically resets.

[Amperzand]

[Welcome to your next month of work.]

[Updop within a few hours I hope maybe.]

[Gwolfski]

Also, get porkninja an inventor's hut with booze . And stay away from it. For safety

[TheBiggerFish]

The idea of isolated workshops for dangerous experiments is a good idea, do that.

Then, try and fix the Canteen.

*Worrying clanging noises emerge from Pork's hut for the better part of a week.*

[TheBiggerFish]

Well they don't, because a certain magus, not trusting any dimensional travelers to be rational, interrupts.
"What are you building?"

[Amperzand]

[I like when, because I don't update for a while, you guys keep digging yourself further into actions that are going to end up pointless. :V]

Murdoc quickly assesses the needed work to recover from the siege, deciding that the main needed tasks, other than rebuilding the armory, are to move the wounded and what remains of the gear inside now that the smoke's clear, to deal with the caravan one way or another, to somehow deal with the dead, foe and kin, and to repair the damaged defenses. 

Supplies will, with how few live, last quite a while, and ammunition for the remaining guns is effectively unlimited.  If another attack comes, some way of getting the Skalewyrm to the surface may be the only hope of survival.

The two would-be inventors in the caverns settle in for a long period of work, with all practical experiments being carried out in a secondary hut some distance from everything important.

Patham attempts to actively scan the canteen for defects, only to find that he cannot perform spells. A simpler examination of the situation reveals that the local field is quite drained, almost nonexistent. It's likely that the canteen just ran out of energy.

A similarly passive scan of the Foreman's odd rock reveals that the object is radiating a very small amount of arcane energy. Not, it would appear, enough to be worth setting up a collector for the output.

Visual examination in the light of day reveals that the deeper grooves in the rough side are a complex symbol of some sort, and that the scratches around the edge are likely something similar, though too small and complex to be easily parsed.

[TheBiggerFish]

Well.  Once we're settled, look into rigging up some sort of manalogical transformer...Until we've recovered however, fix things.

[Amperzand]

[I realize it would have been easier just to tell you "The field's drained, so it ran out of power", but the goal was to give you that information IC, which can only happen if your character does something to learn it. Even if I tell you something [As GM.], your character doesn't know it. If you want actionable information, do something to find out.]

[TheBiggerFish]

((Wellllll.  I don't want to quote PMs, but there was a discussion at some point.))

[Amperzand]

[Yeah, yeah, the whole metaknowledge thing. As I've said before, I'd kinda rather have not done that, but instead I've made it more like a sort of perception check. Say Net Patham can sense the Narrative, if it's being particularly unsubtle.]

[TheBiggerFish]

((Makes sense, and it's more balanced.  Go for it.))

[Amperzand]

{I'm glad you agree. :V}

[TheBiggerFish]

((I was kind if sour on it to begin with so yeah.  I can't complain.))

[Chevaleresse]

>While no one's around, check if mysterious talking entity is still around.

See if I can grab a magnifying lens to examine the symbols more closely. Sketch all of the ones I can find - hopefully with something that's magically inert? Attempt to avoid summoning some sort of eldritch abomination by accident since i have no idea what the fuck I'm doing.
