Take a shower and freshen up. Afterwords, get dressed and then head to the kitchen. If Grey is still there, ask him how if he knows how everything works. If he does, ask him to explain, follow his instructions, and thank him politely. If he doesn’t (or if he isn’t there), then ask the kitchen itself. If that doesn’t work, than experiment. Regardless, obtain and eat a meal.
Name: The Speaker.
Description: a small man with black hair that is speckled with gray and a small gray goatee.
Nature: All-Tounge
Status: Well, it looks like everyone has what they need. Time to go wash off this slime.
HP: 10
Inventory: A purple robe with a large red eye embroidered on the back, a pair of white gloves with a similar eye on the palm, and what appears to be a 4 foot long sewing needle made of black iron. The needle’s sides are blunt but its tip is deadly sharp, and the “eye” has knurling around it so that it can be used as a handle.

Speaker gets cleaned up , dons his newly aquired uniform, and then heads to the kitchen. He talks with Gray for a few minutes and learns the way the food conduit works, or at least Gray's interpretation of it. With that knowledge he makes himself his first, and hopefully not last, meal.
Await instructions from the orange voice in the walls. Make Amyclys get her items from the box, then steal the items from her.
"So, I have some good news and some bad news. The good news is, am still dry and there is no poop on my hands. The bad news is this place hates fun."
Oh! No!
I’ll just assume that The Speaker doesn’t see any of this because he’s already headed to the rooms, but he’s not going to be pleased when he finds out Creation has been bullying Amyclas.
Also, I have a bad feeling about that book. It might be the nail that we end up failing our mission for want of…
Feel free to make an IC fuss about it, lol. I don't mind, even if my character dies for it.
Edit: post ended up borked because Ozarck forgot a tag. Took a while to fix things…
oops.

Creation and Amy get into a slap fight and both end up falling into the deposit tank. They get booted back out a moment later, as before.
When finished enjoying the cranberry juice and whatever's left of the meal, Grey disposes of the leftover dishes. Then, chronology abiding, Grey gives a short summary of the ring's functions to the speaker.
Grey then heads to the training room and stabs one of the dummies a few times to observe the results.

Gray Finishes his meal and gives a quick explaination about how the whole setup works before heading off to the training room. [6] He gives a training dummy a good solid stab with his needle.[6] Despite the seemingly awkward shape and design of the weapon it actually turns out to be surprisingly effective for stabbing at least.
The weapon penetrates the wood exactly as you'd expect a big sharp metal thing to do, but the next part is a bit odd. There's no visial indication of anything odd happening but, as long as gray leaves the needle stabbed into the dummy, the dummy doesn't reset.
Well, let’s start off with some magic practice.
Go up to a WOOD TRAINING DUMMY and rearrange the letters into “ODD RING” and “WOMAM”, with MUITY left over.

Robe
Needle
Gloves

[5] (Womam is not a word)
Luta places her hands on one of the training dummies. Her hands seem to press down into it in a shimmer of purplish light and she fiddles with its essence. She withdraws her hands a moment later and the entire dummy glows purple before vanishing in a shimmer. In its place is a ring, the sort that a person would wear on their finger. The ring is made of wood and has a small carved image of the dummy's head poking out of it.
Grab my robe, gloves, and big ass needle, then put on the clothing and go grab all the different kinds of silverware, a plate and cup from the canteen, then I don't know eat a bunch of food or something.

Inventory:
purple robe
white gloves
big ass needle

Debby gets dressed and then attacks the kitchen with gusto.
Youare tries to find an introductory text on golems, and again quickly glean some information. He takes his book over to the food area and takes something from every ring, absently eating as he reads.
It is worth noting that he is still wearing nothing but a thick layer of slime.

[3] You manage to find a small text about golems, but doing so takes the entire turn. You don't even have time to read it!
I made a map for easy reference. Everyone likes maps, right?
(Not to scale)
(Will add it to the OP.)
The entire cavern suddenly howls and shivers. There is a great sucking noise and the normally dead calm air of the cavern begins to move, flowing towards the teleporter room. Creation and Amy, who are right next to the teleporter room, poke their heads out to see that the metal arch is now filled with a strange blackness. Its not totally black though: the edges of the portal are an oilslick shimmer of colors and multicolored pinpoints of light swim in the darkness like otherworldly stars. The previously blank plaque next to the portal now shows the following:
A magical beast has attacked a settlement of mundanes. Uphold the Covenant of Protection and destroy the beast. This is our will.
