The Dwoids We Were Looking For - March 3, 2017

- Exhaustion Level 1 for CMT
- Poor Wyatt
- Banana phone
- Gluten-free pretzels
- ABC birthday book!
- Why are boys fascinated by poop? Can someone answer me this?

- Skillz Challenge to get up the road, past the guardians, and into the city of Meuhlehorn
- T uses religion and radiant energy to create a reflective bubble around the trio distracting the mechanical sentries (Success!)
- F scouts ahead and helps lead the S & T around the next sentry (Stealth - Success!)
- S tries to lead along a gully, but steps on a rock and it rolls down the hill. There's a cranking sound and then the whirring noise starts to get louder. (Survival - Fail)
- T heals her twisted ankle (Medicine - Success!)
- F takes a quick look around and realizes there's one behind them and one coming in from their right (Perception - Success!)
- S sends F & T off while she runs toward the one on the right, then when it starts to chase her teleport with Misty Step to her friends (Arcana - Success!)
- The girls dash to the city wall, and there's all this rubble, and T tries to parkour around and over a series of large boulders, but slips and splats against the side getting the wind knocked out of her (Acrobatics - Fail)
- F dashes over to another area to make a loud noise to distract the mechanical swarm they can hear nearby, then Stealths back to her companions (Stealth - Sucess!)

Win!

FST are now backs to the wall hidden behind a bit of rubble next to the closed gate. The city is built half into the side of a cliff on a mountain such that the walls arch out of the cliff and come to this obvious gate. The wall isn't pristine, but it does look maintained and all the construction and patches look like a consistent construction type. The gate has no obvious hinges or seams.

F throws a rope with a grapple so that it catches the top of the gate, then they all take turns trying to climb the rope. Unsuccessfully and hilarious. Finally, while S is trying to climb she accidentally starts swinging and bonks bonks bonks against the door.

A person-sized portion in the middle of the gate lowers into the ground and a 6-foot tall mechanical man wearing a metal top hat steps out and looks at FST. He is Porter Unit 4.

T says they just want to see the library. F Persuades him that they need to access library for a vital mission involving Lellzutho.

PU4 bring thing another mechanical looking man who is about 4-feet with a metal beard and six cylinders, three silver & three brown, that spin intermittently. He is Beinier, the Assistant Record Keeper. He leads them to the library. There are recognizable books, manuscripts, and scrolls, but also crystalline structures and many of the brown cylinders stacked.

Ulfgrim is the Record Keeper. He looks much like Beinier and is very surprised to see visitors as it has been 274 years since the last one.

Storytime with Ulfgrim:
- Showdown with Lellzutho creature. It was a dwarven sorcerer who summoned him in the first place.
- The plague that killed the kobolds is what killed all the dwarves when they brought the Lellzutho sword back to the castle as a trophy after his defeat.
- When the disease set in, the extremely mechanically magic minded dwarves built mechanical dwarves and recorded their brains into these Dwarven Androids. Dwoids if you will.
- His catalog log is damaged and T Mends it so that he can remember where the Lellzutho information is stored

- Ulfgrim says there is another Dwoid who was damaged by falling rocks after a minor quake, and wonders if her spell could maybe help fix her. T agrees to try.

- 3,100 XP ea. for 79, 890 XO total ea.
