"I'm all for following the conveyors and checking out the guts of this place!", says Emerald Blade.

The Seeker accepts the wine gladly, then gathers up his belongings (carefully donning the leather armor) and follows P. Ecstasy quietly.

P. Ectasy: "Quickly, join me in these crawlspaces. There are three -we can take any more guards from ambush!" Do you mean the conveyor belt shafts? |

Tas: "Better to just take a passage away from here, if we can. There's no telling where those crawlspaces will take us, and I would not want to become trapped in such a confined place."

Nodu assists The Seeker in gathering his belongings and moving with the party into the conveyor belt passages.

Iszak considers the unopened hatch opposite the prison cell block for a moment, but then follows after the others to crawl down one of the conveyors -- preferably an inoperable one.

"Oh, what the hells." Tas doesn't want to be left behind, so he'll also follow down the conveyor belts.

(OOC: Sorry about the delay. School started today and I got a little wrapped up in things.)
After saying their greetings to The Seeker, out travelers rush quickly gather their possessions and rush out of the room. Turning left at the fork, Tas leads the group back to the machine factory.
Meanwhile, the siren is still whining in the background. [1d6=4]
In the machine factory, two of the conveyor belts are still going and the equipment still pumping out body plates and legs. The third conveyor belt is no longer functioning, stalled by the explosion.
Which one do you enter? does the group go as a single until or split up into smaller squads?

Tas: "We should follow the broken conveyor line. We're less likely to be stomped or stamped by giant machines that way. And we should stick together, if at all possible."
Unless, of course, the broken conveyor is on fire or obviously dangerous in some way.

Unless, of course, the broken conveyor is on fire or obviously dangerous in some way. It doesn't appear to be terribly dangerous unless you are flanked inside the tunnel. |

P. Ecstasy leads the way down the tunnel, stopping and peeking to the right where it turns.

Wanting to investigate the turn, P. Ecstasy enters first, followed by Tas, Nodu, and The Seeker. Delectable and The Emerald Blade of All Challenges are the last to squeeze them into the tiny space. The tunnel being only four feet high and and four feet wide, it is cramped an crowded with 7 bodies squeezed inside.
P. Ecstasy looks to the right, although there is little light at the back of the tunnel, he can make out that the three conveyor belts converge and drop their payloads a single, massive belt heading away from the machine shop.
[1d6=5] Four of the treaded machines with the torsos and heads of men enter from the hallway from which you have just come. The machines head over to the sight of the explosion. In the tongue of the ancient space aliens, the following conversation takes place.
"R-1428, they must have come this way," says the first to another.
The machine known as R-1428 responds, "Search room while I request assistance. The Metallic Duke will want to here about this. I will report and return. Copy?"
"Copy, R-1428."
"What are our orders should be come across the contamination? Exterminate or add them to the stock pile?"
"Capture and add to the stocks"
The machine known as R-1428 begins to roll towards doorway.
They don't appear to have seen you. Do you pull our trigger, Emerald Blade, and release your arrow, Delectable or do you continue along the tunnel.

Emerald Blade raises the launcher to prevent the second speaker from warning The Metallic Duke, but holds at Tas's whisper. If Delectable's arrow is released, so too will an acid grenade be launched at the 'bot mentioned above.

R-1428 must not escape to sound the general alarm. Delectable's arrow will make sure of it!

Tas curses and gets his bow out, in case any of the metal men come down the conveyor towards the party.

P. Ecstasy draws his hand axe and advances to the rear, toward the junction where the the three conveyor belts meet.

Iszak crawls deeper along the conveyor belt... is there a "light at the end of the tunnel"? It would be most unfortunately to get trapped in such a tight confine...

After squeezing their away to the end of the group--which is no meager feat--P. Ecstasy and Iszak try to follow the conveyor belt they are standing to where is meets their others. The sound in the tunnel is nearly deafening as they approach. In the distance, maybe 50 or more feet off, there is a light at the end of the tunnel.
Meanwhile, Delectable lets her obsidian tipped arrow fly [1d20+4=6], and fly it does--right into the back wall.
Seeing detectable's arrow fly, The Emerald Blade releases the trigger and with a bang a metal sphere flies across the room towards R-1428. [1d20+4=18] The grenade explodes and sends corrosive, sticky acid in all directions. [1d10=8;3d10=17 Both The Emerald Blade and R-1428 fall to the ground--The Emerald Blade from the recoil and R-1428 from being rendered inert.
The other four machines haven't even turn to see their superior fall.
Your intentions for the following round?

If any of the contraptions come to investigate the conveyor passage, Tas will lose an arrow at them.

Poop, do I have any more grenades? If not, I'll have to swap out my two-handed sword after dropping the launcher and be ready for anything. ~ Emerald Blade of All Challenges

"Zis is worse zan I thought," mutters Iszak to himself.
If there is no moving machinery visible along the conveyor, Isak continues on toward the light. Otherwise he will not risk traversing the tight tunnel, and will advise the others to head back so that he too can get out of the tunnel.
