The party faced down some robots and defeated them pretty handily (although Poing was stunned by on). Cithreal treated Khonnir's wounds - he appeared to have been injured especially around his legs. "Need go home" was one of the few articulate things Khonnir could manage to get out. "My daughter... Val... is my daughter." They brought Wilbur to diagnose Khonnir, and Wilbur suggested that his head was filled with robots. Khonnir tried to rise, but seemed largely incapable of doing so. The party exhorted him to not continue after it became clear he was at serious risk of injury. The party asked Khonnir about his condition, but he could only say, "No, they did something..." After they discussed this for a bit, it was suggested that, perhaps, they could "shoot him in the head" with the lightning gun. The reasoning being that lightning kills robots, but were stopped by the articulation of the additional detail, "Lightning kills wizards, too."

At 6:31 the party helped Khonnir obtain his gear and make their way out, arriving at the edge of the water at about 6:45. After some finagling, the party left the cave, recovering Parda's body on the way out. The party spoke to Sef about Wilbur, warning her not to confront it. Sef agreed reluctantly, and insisted that she and her tribe needed to relocate to a new cave or give up on caves entirely, because this one was nothing but trouble.

Upon getting out and being greeted by two enthusiastic town guards, Thinghaver started to explain that Khonnir's head was full of tiny robots, and Elleigh interrupted to clarify that Khonnir was just exhausted by the trials and tribulations he faced in the cavern. The party did, however, add that "A few of our party members are infested with parasites." The party was reminded that Mylan Radli, cleric of Phraasma, was still in town, but that Joram Kyte had left town. They returned Khonnir home and Val was extremely grateful to have him back.

Upon getting back to the tavern, Val was overjoyed to see her father, and rushed out to meet the party and express her deep gratitude. After they explained the situation, she asked her father, "How do we handle the robots in your head?"
"I... don't remember..." Khonnir replied.

The party suggested electricity and Khonnir suggested they speak with Sanvil, officially a seller of scrap metal (but known by at least two of the party to also be something of a technophile who made a brisk trade of contraband). The party visited Sanvil's shop, where he informed them he was just closing up, but that he had a few minutes for them. The party went inside and explained the situation to Sanvil. He assisted in identifying the lightning gun as a not-killing gun. He also identified all the grenades as well as a radiation sensor and the nutrient paste. There was some discussion of making trades with him, but the party stated they would shelve this until they dealt with the current crisis.

The party brought Khonnir somewhere safely away from technology and detonated an EMP grenade they obtained from Sanvil close enough to clear out any local robots. Khonnir immediately appeared to recover somewaht, stating wearily, "Well that's a little bit better."
