Nope, not doing this. Go back, put the grate in the vent and close it. If they're robots, any attack is probably going to be an auto-fail because of my meaty, boneless tentacles, giant octopus or not.
Try to listen to any sounds coming from the grate hallway. Do I hear breathing? walking? If noises are coming in my direction, use my natural camo and hide before they try to enter.
(1) You clamber back into the vent and scuttle backward. the sounds outside become a confused garble, then a concerted conversation. It sounds like furniture is being pushed around for a minute, and then a head pokes into the vent and a light blinds you. You make yourself look like a piece of the wall ... completely obstructing the vent. They seem to recognize that you are not a part of the normal structure in there. Something like a large fishhook is passed up to the person at the vent. THey take a moment to shuffle it around into the vent.
Look for some kind of weakness in the new hostile a while ordering Freddie to rescue Spaz’s character
(4) joints, maybe? They look pretty heavy, and probably can't fly? You tell Freddie to rescue Vladen, but ... hey, where is Vladen? Does Freddie even know?
Try and find a way to get out before healing self
You drag yourself out of the vat and fall onto a metal walkway, your skin sloughing off and drizzling through the grating to sizzle on something below. (2) You look around, but find nothing in eyesight to eat to restore yourself.
((Sorry I've been so slow with replying, RL stuff is making me somewhat busy.))
Gak decides to try the old 'logical fallacy to overload the circuits' trick.
"Hey thickness and chrome! The statement I will next make is false. However, the statement I previously made is true!"
Apply elementary school logic loops to the guardians. See if they explode or just ignore it and start tying to punch me.
They ignore the logic. (5) they also ignore you, more or less. Well, tehy aren't punching anything yet.
What am I looking at exactly? There's some guardians and a door or a gateway.. what precisely is present?
You peek your head around the wagon. There are four Constructs, each the size of a small bus. Each wields some kind of rather large weapon - except one which wields a half dozen rather normal sized weapons - small in it's grasps. All three carts are present, so the hallway is a tad crowded. the inspectors are hauling hteir immobile companion out of one cart and drawing back slowly, eyes on the Guardians. You passed a window into a smaller cavern with fungi and giant insectoid legs extending from the ceiling. Kongor is there, and he seems to be urging you to go find Vladen. Gak is there, and he seems to be babbling at the guardians. The Vault door at teh end of the hallway encompasses the whole of the end of the hallway. This is the final destination for whatever typically comes down this hall.
