Roger turns his head to his companions and asks, "Could someone, err, light a torch? It's too dark." Roger then uses his nose (Heightened Smell) to try and determine if anything living is inside (or lairs there). (OOC: Can Radiated Eyes light a fire a la Superman?) Well the description doesn't show what sort of Radiation, so I think its fair to assume this is whacky B-Movie style radiation, and anything the average person thinks you can do with radiation can be done. I'm going to say yes, but anyone within ten feet is going to have to resist as per the table.
12. Radiated Eyes: The power to focus radiation through the lens of the eyes to emit a damaging blast of radiation with an intensity of 10 on the radiation chart This power is limited to once every 4 melee turns and has an effective range of 10 yards.

"Hey! Watch it with them things!" Poke jumps back, and looks around the side of the building to see if there is any other way in.

OOC: OK, I will retro-post then. Please imagine this occurs prior to Thorswulf's reaction. IC: Roger, frustrated at the darkness and not being able to tell by smell whether there's anyone inside, focuses his eyes on the ground about six feet inside the roundhouse and the surface begins to smolder. He tries to start a small fire, but if nothing catches, he will throw something flammable in.

Ok, so just to put it all together, Poke is going to go around the side (near the shattered shed?), and we'll assume he's taking Octavia with him, meat is standing outside the window, and Roger is trying to create some sort of fire in the middle of the kitchen to see get some sort of light into the room?
If that's all good then here we go, roger is able to set the remains of a kitchen table ablaze, the fire isn't very large yet, but burns brightly enough to fill the upper half of the room with smoke, you can see just under the smoke-line that the shelves on the opposite side of the room seem closed, and may contain something. After a few minutes of the building fire you see an eery blue light blink on the roof and a large klaxon sounding loudly, followed by a voice "Fire, Fire, Move to safety, Emergency services are en rout."

"Oh!" remarks Roger. He lumbers inside, looking for loot. "Will someone please smother the fire?"

Meat will do what he can to extinguish the blaze, providing he can gain entry. He might not fit through the window.

Meat is pretty meaty, but not somuch as to not fit inside a standard roundhouse window.
meat begins beating out the flames using branches from the larger tree's outside the roundhouse, slowly but surely beating out the fire, and also slowly beating out the light casting you in darkness. Rodger continues to rifle through the canisters, finding most full of decayed old foodstuffs (inedible) but one is full of some sort of cracker that seems to have weathered the ages of disuse (something akin to hard tack).
Poke and Octavia are working their way around the building. Unless you post otherwise.

The klaxons and recording continue to play anyways, demanding the attention of a "Fire Service" whatever that may be. Also you hear some noise originating from the doorway into the room. There appears to be something in the next room.

Are there any embers or wood handy? Meat would try to fashion some sort of torch, if he can do so without burning himself, and examine the next room. If he hears anything moving toward the door of this room, he'll camouflage, in a corner if possible.
[ETA - I guess he has some tree branches]

Poke mumbles, "Now what?" And continues around to investigate the shed.

Poke and Octavia arrive at the shed, as described before the doors are bashed in, and there is a practically destroyed robot of some sort, festooned with old gardening tools. Various pellets and composts have fallen from the tubes which once fed the robot with new supplies, and cover the ground around the base of the machine. The shed is on the reverse side of the roundhouse with relation to the front door, and the window is about half way between the two.
Inside the house Meat has successfully beaten the fire down to a small pile of flickering coals, and has managed to fashion a crude torch from the branches, although without any sort of oil or fabric it won't stay burning for long, and it emits thick purple smoke as it burns, but you don't mind the smoke, in fact the smoke smells kinda nice.....
Rodger makes his way to the pantry and finds shelves of unopened cans, the contents of some cans rattle, while others make sloshing sounds, and the heaviest cans make no sounds at all. There is no built-in way to pop open those cans.
The sounds from the other room intensify, its as if something is struggling against a great weight, and eventually succumbing to it as the weight falls back into place, only to repeat again. You can also see that, in addition to the lights from the alarm there is another set of multicolored lights coming through the doorway.

Poke looks around for something that can be used as a weapon, even if he has to wrench it off of the robot.

Meat carries the torch to the doorway to see what can be seen in the next room from that vantage point, using the side of the doorway as cover as best as possible.

Roger begins carrying armloads of artifacts outside. If there's anything he can use as a basket, he will.
OOC: Sorry, I'm not getting alerts of new posts.

Octavia stands guard as Poke attempts to wretch some blades from the Gardening robot, one is oddly shaped. Poke is able to wrench both the strangely stirrup shaped blade, and a good length of the bar its attached to, with a little sharpening it might make a handy pole-arm, and there is also a small trowel which could be rigged into a crude blade.
Roger grabs the mouldering table cloth (a segment that doesn't fall apart eventually revealing itself) and is able to gather about a dozen cans which seem both weighty and intact, as well as a few bits of cutlery, and makes his way to the window as Meat takes his place at the door.
Meat looks into the room and finds quite an odd sight, a mechanical man (like the ones from the clearing), its apparently trapped under a fallen chunk of roofing, the resulting hole visible through the ceiling providing adequate light in the room.
"assistance required, Assistance required, Robotic support services non-responsive, Please correct or deactivate the unit!"

Poke looks for something to sharpen the weapon with, and hands Octavia the trowel. "Paydirt. Let's see what the others have found."

Roger says, "I have salvaged items. I shall retreat from the structure."
Laboriously, he does just as he said.

Meat goes to where the others are, shows them what he found and looks over their goodies. "Anything else?"

Meat goes to where the others are, shows them what he found and looks over their goodies. "Anything else?" Yes, he does. Although after that, he'd be interested in checking out the room with the malfunctioning metal man. Perhaps it can be salvaged.

"Well it sounds harmless enough. Let's check it out. I feel better now that I have something to fight with." Poke smiles and hefts the improvised pole arm. "Much beter.....", he mumbles to himself.

Roger looks up, slightly alarmed. "Going back in? 'Ware that smoke, there was something...strange about it. Here, I will stay. Should you fall, I will attempt to retrieve you. Take extreme caution."

sorry its been a bit, just started a Trig Class, I'll post tomorrow night. Also we may be getting a new player, so I'll probably be getting rid of Octavia (likely by having her stay behind somewhere significant.)

Poke re-enters the Roundhouse through the broken window. The kitchen is still full of smoke, although now its fairly thin, simply blurring your vision rather than obstructing it. As you near the door you can see the flashing lights of the mechanical man in the other room. The metal being continues to wail and thrash, but is clearly trapped beneath a table, the rest of the room is thrashed, with both those pieces of furniture who's purpose you understand, and those pieces you do not comprehend bashed about the room. "Please assist the unit, Please assist the unit" Though the voice is evenly metered its immediacy is apparent.

Roger peers in, holding his breath, ready to assist if Poke should succumb. He ducks back to breathe, then returns to his vigil. His hands roam aimlessly with his agitation.

Meat climbs in and tries to free the mechanical man. If he feels odd or has difficulty breathing, he'll retreat.

There is the occasional cough, but no real difficulty in being in the room, although the beams of light emanating from points on the mechanical man do occasionally flash into your eyes and give you an ever-so slight nauseating feeling from the strobe, still nothing unbearable. Your not able to lift the large table on your own however, you'll need some help.
