baron groupThe feline quickly hops up onto Noir's shoulders, huddling down on her. "It is done, yes? These ones return?"
Well, I guess we're returing to whereever we're supposed to return to. Auto my inactive allies if they don't post?
"...Dar'yajira believes Halfdragon sings well. It sounds like bird that does not know it is watched by cat."
I'll use spontaneous drownage on it. I'll know I probably can't drown a machine but maybe I can flood its systems. If that doesn't work I'll use my Woeful Water(I'll use my magic on as many enemies as I can. The enemy reacts as if they suddenly are underwater (they are surrounded by psychic water kinda, water that's not really there, however they don't drown. They are slowed down, they don't attack as hard. Animals also freak out.)
you guys are returning to the camp to inform Dessmo, Senna and Alaran of your dismal failure at stealth, spying, and diplomacy? right on. Off you go.
The Eye...What were we supposed to be doing again?
Getting information from the baron about his plans, so that you can maybe prevent a massacre. You've made contact. Sort of.
mech hunt groupTry to keep a tree between me and it, continue to distract it throwing stines at it
Your dodge is cut short by a swipe from the creature, which knocks you flying. You land, roll, and end up on your feet, not yet noticing the bruises. You backpeddle quickly as the thing turns toward you and keeps coming.
Spring out of the hole, and jump onto the spider. Try to mangle some legs.
Your leap falls short, and the thing stagger hops away from you toward Jack

You call out to the waters of death, and invite the machine to join you in the depths. Moments later, water starts leaking out of the thing's damaged leg. it slows noticeably, allowing Jack to escape, and Terrance to catch up. you hear the sound of glass breaking, and something metallic banging rhythmically inside the machine. It staggers into the river about a yard, and tilts, falling on it's side. Black water leaks out of various seams now, getting washed away in the river. The thing goes still.
colony diplomacy group...
Good idea.
I report back what I've found, done, and the machinist's reaction to the situation via commstone.
Alaran congratulates you on getting to the heart of the matter, and asks several questions: 1) How and when did the machines slip from oversight and become unaccounted for, 2) what mechanical prototypes have been getting tested in the last sixty days, 3) Do the Mechainists have a record of routine maintenance and troubleshooting for established lines, 4) what information have they shared with the baron about the issue, 5) how do they intend to respond to the baron's demand, 6) are there fail-safes so as to be able to safely deactivate these rogues, and 7) how do the mechanists plan to redress the damages to the villages?
