Haveron also finds himself surprised by the behavior, although he has become accustomed to the behaviors by this time.  He doesn't lose his composure.  Instead, he looks at Gareth and asks simply "Why would you do that?  The danger has passed."

In reply to Haveron Stormwal (msg # 166):

"It was suggested that the runes could have activated the golems. I did not know what other dangers they could have activated, so I destroyed the runes. If you were unsure, why wait until I am finished before saying anything?"

"Better safe than sorry. Plus, we would have had to somehow bundle it back in good condition, find a buyer and on and on."

Berry's servant tugs on her slee e.
"Looks like the jigsaw man is nearly done with his legs "

In reply to Berry (msg # 168):

"That is what I thought. If you do not want me to do something, speak up. I thought everyone was clear on that. Now Jigsaw..."

The partially dismembered golem collects its head, and hobbles into the room with the ruined wallpaper and shredded stone golems.


OocGareth, some players were away for a while and couldn't respond.  From no onwe need to let other people get a word in edgewise.

In reply to Old servant (msg # 171):

Gareth watches it and waits...

[OOC: The thread does not move that fast, and while I do not want to stop others from responding, I cannot tell if they are absent or silent. Sorry if I seem to stop others posting...I just try to keep things active.]

Fine by me... the Adept has nothing to say.

In reply to Adept Yisslitheniss (msg # 173):

The headless automaton heads straight accross the burnt domed room and through the opposite archway.

In reply to Old servant (msg # 174):

Gareth follows it...carefully looking around.

In reply to Gareth (msg # 175):

The piecemeal butler descends a spiral staircase ahead of Gareth.

In reply to Old servant (msg # 176):

Who follows it, his Jo with a lit gem in hand incase light is needed. He tries to make sure he follows the Golems footsteps.

Berry will follow the golem as well. She's a bit lazy with her following, so Gareth (or whoever) can easily get in front of her or fall in behind her as desired. She does her best to copy the placement of her feet from how the golem walks.

In reply to Berry (msg # 178):

The golem reaches the bottom of thr staircase, and hobbles through an archway and toward the right hand side.

In reply to Old servant (msg # 179):

Carefully followed by Gareth with his lit Jo held high as he tries to take in as much of his surroundings as he can.

[Private to GM: Rolled 2 under perception]

In reply to Gareth (msg # 180):

You note a space on the floor that it stepped around.

It approaches  a doorwaywith some kind of lock on it, and quickly spins the dials. A door rolls open, and the golem steps into what appears to be a yard wide room, big enough for one, or two if intimate. As the door slides again, you realize that the room itself is the door, and is rotating closed, and the dial spins back into place.


Per-6 to have read the dial


****this is like a darkroom light-lock cylindrical door****

In reply to Narrator (msg # 181):

Gareth makes a note of the spot the golem stepped around, pointing it out to the others, but in doing so does not even see the golem work the dials.

Fine time for a critical fail...not even night vision 6 can help with that![Private to GM: Rolled 17, 3 over perception...Night vision 6 will not help I suspect...]

In reply to Gareth (msg # 182):

Gareth sneezes hard and sees spots before his eyes for the next few seconds.

Did anyone get the combo? I think I got it, but... If no one else volunteers Berry will report what she saw.

22:53, Today: Berry rolled 7 using 3d6.  per-6 folr dial. That's success by zero.

In reply to Berry (msg # 184):

"Combo? What combo?"

He blinks a few times to clear his eyes...

In reply to Berry (msg # 184):

Make a thaumatology roll. The three dial combo looks like it might be assembling a glyph when all three of the coincentric cirlmcles of the dial are arranged properly.

In reply to Narrator (msg # 186):

Me or Berry?

[Private to GM: Rolled 10 under Thaumatology if me...]

00:06, Today: Berry rolled 11 using 3d6.  Thaum-14.

In reply to Berry (msg # 188):

Berry. You couldn't see a damn thing.

It looks like the dials might be turned to make a glyph usually used to represent lightning magic.

Berry will explain her conclusions to the rest of the group. "Not entirely sure what to do with it, beyond just copying the servants glyph sequence though? I assume people want me to try first?"
