"Huh. Bit late, isn't it?"
"Anyway, you lot, come with me. Hopefully Clunkers distracts the damn thing."
Check the third floor. Anything worth stealing, or people who need finishing off? Seems like the sort of bollocks that'd need a summoner on hand.
The front has a couple of what look like servants or guards quarters. teh back is mostly obliterated. There are no living things up here besides you three.
Clunkers buzzes and whirrs for a second. He then gives a small bow to the being. He speaks fast, though clearly.
"Statement of compliance: Understood, this one will give a sumary of what happened. This one will answer as truthful as it is possible. This one functions to serve. This one's official designation is Unit 02: Clunkers.
Statement of regret: This one is unable to provide complete details. This one and its compatriots are under a powerful geas, making them unable to divulge certain information, on punishment of death. Please understand.
Summary: This one and its compatriots arrived in this town with a cart of supplies. This one and its compatriots wanted to acquire the idol in question. This one and its compatriots also wanted to cease the functioning of the leader of this tower, as well as destroy pretty much everything inside. However, the only goal that this one truly watned to complete was the acquiring of the idol, everything else was secondary, because.
Upon getting to the tower, this ones compatriots disabled the guards at the entrance. At that time something must have happened inside of the tower, resulting in a hole in the wall several floors up and two entities crashing towards the pavement, though this one knows nothing more about it. Once inside, several organics accosted us, and battle ensued. About three organics used chanting to summon up a whirlwind. This one used it's staff to create a safe space and threw table legs at the chanters. This did not prove particularely effective. After the whirlwind died down, this ones idea was to grab the idol. However, at that point part of the wall exploded violently. This one believes this is the result of explosives, placed by a couple of this one's compatriots who got stuck outside. As a result, part of the tower structure collapsed.
During all of this, several of this one's compatriots ceased functioning as well. Unfortunately, due to them being organic, repairs and reboots are off the table. Then the local constabulary arrived, threatening violence. This one attempted to bluff by trying to imitate the deity of this tower to scare the constabulary away, which failed. Then the one standing before this one asked for a summary of events. Thus, we come full circle.
Statement of regret: This one realizes that this ones summary lacks a certain depth, and is also missing certain information. This is because this one has omitted both superfluous details, and information that falls under the geas. This one apologizes for this fact.
Query: Is there anything else this one may have forgotten to mention that the one standing before this one wishes to know? This one is more than willing to divulge any information that is required of this one, barring the information that falls under the geas, regardless of the fact that the local constabulary is making its way over to kill this one as we speak."
Clunkers bows again, waiting for further instructions.
Upon finishing your statement, the being frowns, looks directly at your companions, through the celing and everything, and then at you. His eyes glow brilliant white, blinding you temporarily. Then, your Omega Brand begins to burn with an intense heat. you hear three different screams from upstairs simultaneously. This goes on for a short time that feels much longer before you feel an odd, sudden release.. Upon examining yourself, you see that the Omega Brand has become completely visible. It glows, in fact, though this appears to be fading.
The gaes of secrecy is broken. I see that which you serve. A new gaes I give you. You are now my emissaries to your masters. Complete your objective. Bring the idol, whole, to your masters. Call upon me at that time, that I might receive an account from those who sent you.And with that, the being turns, pulls the idol out of the wreckage, leaving behind a trail of embers and flame, and places it on top of the junk pile. A violent wind kicks up, tossing junk throughout the room. It leaves you untouched, but sends a good bit of debris past you toward the entrance. When the wind dies down the entity is gone.
Upstairs, All three of you stop at the same time and feel the same burning agony from your Omega marks, which begin to glow lightning bright. Fiddler falls to his knees and loses his breath, and finds it difficult to rise and function properly after this, and Solam sort of stops moving and stands, staring vacantly at the wall, eyes rolled up in his head. Ebony seems to recover from the pain pretty well, and can function normally.
