"Metal Monster" refers to that contraption we got on loan from Valpip.

I can't think of anything to add to what Daryen has indicated.

Did we lose GeneralET/Gardakhan? Is that why we're merging?

Ah, the clockwork homunculus (added to Blornvid)
@GeneralET / Gardakhan was still active on the site a week ago but I have not seen him post here for longer. He may just be more passive or need to move to a less active group so I will send a PM if no response is forthcoming in the next day or two. The merge is to get all you rapid play people in one post thread so I don't have to juggle stories as much. It is fun but can be a bit hectic.

The only thing before we leave is Skeeve will say to Asa, Is it ok if we return at some later? If you say no, I won't come back. I can't promise no one else won't, but I will work to keep people away. If you say yes, if I get a chance, I will come back and see if I can help with you night issue. But I am not sure when I might be able to do it.

If Asa doesn't want us to return, he will tell Fiznik that and ask that he suppress this pattern and not mention it to others. Skeeve will do his best to honor Asa's wishes, but he can promise anything other than his own efforts as a small cog in a bigger world.

Oh, and with the homunculus, the idea was to stay safe within the shelter, but let it go outside and serve as a remote control drone. Hopefully it could let the controller see and hear things before it got destroyed so we'd know what was going on. Best case, it would be ignored as it is fundamentally inanimate and isn't alive.

But, we can pick up the idea some other time after we check out the manor.

You mayt return. We will bring a horn back and leave it in this cave. If you sound it on your way down we will know you are coming and be able to come and greet you. We will need to discuss things amongst ourselves and would appreciate if you would do this. It will allow those who are nervous or afraid time to hide or retreat. We always knew we could not stay isolated forever. I believe it is best to welcome those who show restraint and manners than to send all away until some refuse.

If you return then you may talk with out leaders. Till then, thank your for your courtesy and safe travels.

Stepping onto the Matrix tiles you arrange them into the proper pattern and activate the last charge of the rod. As the light and energies fade you are back in the cavern and a couple of guards are watching anxiously but calm upon recognizing you. They wave you over to a tent that has been set up nearby and one rushes ahead to announce your arrival.
