"Hey! Sir! I need to talk to whoever is responsible for the bots wrecking the nearby landscape! They're causing enough damage the locals are considering forming a small army just to attack this place and stop it! Lead me either to the person responsible or someone in authority around here because this shit needs to stop here and now!"
"I'm fine ma'rm, I just travel faster this way. Anyway, here's what's going on."I explain what's going on, what the problem is, what damage I saw personally on my way here, etc. If they have a specialized retrieval team, might as well let them handle this. If I have to repeat myself for different audiences, thats fine, though I'd like something to preserve decency if I'm going to be here for a bit. More to keep others from reacting than for my own sake.
I told them that already!
edit: Whatever. anyway, during my time here, I need to have been observing patterns of life, so I can get an idea of what forms would and would not be noticed, and how to blend in here.
riiiiiiight. My bad. Well, assume that that freakout happened earlier, when you told them about the army. Because before that, they had no clue. So what they say to Alaran is more along the lines of "We didn't know." Alaran yells a lot, especially about them losing track of so many mechanicals.
The patterno f life here is pretty mundane, if a tad energetic. Most normal wildlife would go unnoticed, but things like rhinos and girrafes and dinosaurs would get noticed. Those tribble things are so common that they are nearly ignored, btu they travel in packs, so disguising as one of them would not work if you were trying to sneak to someplae particular. gnomish and kobold forms are the standard sapient around here, so those would be your best bet for casually blending in. But, the technical aspect of their conversation, and cultural idioms, are noteworthy, and if you engaged in conversation, you would generally be spotted as an outsider right away.
((Head off with my cat buddy means that noir was following dar though.))
Catch up with dar if I'm not with them also report in.
"...I didn't well really get to do anything besides wait for dar and sing but that was kinda fun... but yeah I don't really have anything really useful I guess.."
The Eye is behind Dar, probably.
Yeah, Dar was riding on Noir's shoulders and would've hopped off only when they reached their destination. Anyway, Dar'll ask what to do next, and if there's nothing in particular to do, he'll request to travel to the nearest Durnvale.
((I'm specifically trying not to metagame because I'm bad about that, but Dar'yajira's account was stilted due to his own stilted perceptions of things, and the Eye would know this.))
riiiiiiight. I knew that. I was mostly hoping the eye had lingered to find out what the Baron's party's immediate next actions were. Oh well.
As for orders. He suggests rather firmly that you head back and attempt to reason with the Baron. He gives the eye a signet ring as a token of authority. Of course, you guys can decline and head over to the mechanists colony instead, and help out with cataloguing the lost machines. Alaran is headed that way now, and is rather pissed. Oh, and this wold give Dar the chance to scout his Durnvale.
((I could tell that you were writing Dar's report in character. Well done. It's amusing when the limits of our characters are bigger challenges than the actual task at hand, isn't it?))
Help carry the robit back to the meeting place, or where ever the group split off
Help carry the robit back to the meeting place, or where ever the group split off
Retrieve my stone from the body, and then assist in this action.
I'll also help with hauling the robot, however if it's clearly hopeless and not working. I'll suggest cutting it up and taking important looking bits. We then should leave it behind but first I take mental notes where it lays and maybe even leave a trail behind so we could find it again but only if the hauling isn't working.
Eh, between the three of you, you manage to get it out onto the ground. carrying it or dragging it will be slow, exhausting, and edious, as it is the size of a pony, and made of metal. You could rig up a makeshift sled, but that will still be tiring ,as you are at least three miles from the village, and half a day from the war camp, unencumbered. It would take at least two days to drag it there.
