Iron Gods:Log/Session 13

Session 13

Poing asks Joram Kyte to help Khonnir Baine's brain damage. Joram expressed concern and relief, and suggested that the tiny robots were misbehaving, which is troubling. Wilbur was vibing, and he stated that they were creatures he enjoyed being near and would follow.

The party descended back into the black cave and Thinghaver asked Wilbur if he wanted to come along. Wilbur said that he likes being close to the party, so he would be happy to. The party proceeded to the large dome, where they noted that the skeletal aliens were present. Wilbur said they only had one mind between them all, but that mind wasn't really present. They asked if it could see their mind, and he said you can't see minds, nor could he determine direction. When asked what the mind was thinking, he said, "I don't know these feelings."

The party tried to identify the emotion by feeling different things and asking Wilbur if they were similar. He suggested that it was anger, defensive, and somewhat violent. Hungry? Yes, very, but also no. Apathetic? No. Confused? Yes, a little. Thinghaver asked Wilbur "Can you influence how something is feeling?" Wilbur said he could make things feel "BLWEHGH" which Poing suggested was a useful emotion.

The party recollected that the skeletons are smart enough to set ambushes. "It is smart enough to set ambushes," Wilbur corrects.

Poing speculated that the undead are the result of some sort of cyclic magic which keeps them tied to the location, and that, if this is the case, removing them permanently would require removing whatever was tethering them here. The party decided to strike preemptively this time, but when they did, all the skeletons ran to the next door and disappeared into the small cavern that led to the rest of the chambers.
