Lord Flash stood over the body of the robot, still twitching from time to time and coving parts of the floor with sparks. Using the blade of his rune axe to snap the last of the wires connected to it's brain the anti-paladin sighed as the light in it's eye finally flickered and disappeared.

"Sorry X015.” he said solemnly.

"Sorry Skydracgrrl, this is all my fault I really hadn't wanted things to progress this far. I was hoping if we got the sword and returned it to Lord Muro no blood would have to be spilt.” Lord Flash knelt down by shades body, "It was naive of me to trust in there benevolence. Anything created by Lord Muro can do nothing but kill and destroy. I can't help you three, I don't trust myself anymore but I can at least help you."

Rising to his feet the anti-paladin crossed his rune axes over his chest, causing them to glow faintly, as the glow increased so did the aura of magical energy in the room. Finally there was a flash of white light as a bolt of energy was released from the apex of the axes, striking directly at the heart of Shade.

Coughing slightly, but otherwise fine the elven assassin sat up slowly, accustoming himself with being alive again. The anti-paladin let his rune axes drop to the floor, instantly shattering into dust as they hit, the magic that created them having been depleted.

Satisfied that his work here was done the black clad knight set his mid upon his next, and final, task. Lord Muro.

Kivan and his friends storm into the room, expecting fierce foes to come charging at them, but instead they see some of their friends from the Bar, they stop their charge into the room and Kivan asks, "Uhhh... What happened here?"

OOC: Just got back. I had been in W. VA attending a funeral. You remember that great uncle I went to visit in Cali. a few weeks ago? He passed away last weekend, and they buried him today. He was buried next to his mother and father. Sad thing it is. Well, I will try not to let my loss affect myself or anyone else from continuing on with the bar.

OOC: Well, the paint in the room where my computer is has dired and stopped smelling profusely, so I'm back.

IC: Encard, Plague, and the vampires continue on down the corridor, still having encountered nothing alive. They pass several doors on either side that apparently lead to empty rooms or storage rooms filled with various useless objects (it seems that the thing Encard found was a key to all the building's rooms), and they keep walking. However, as they come up to what looks like a flight of stairs, a tube suddenly extends from one of the walls and emits red light at them. It passes over all of them, some lights blink, and a metallic voice says, "Data files not found. Intruders detected. Please prepare to be neutralized. have a nice day." large pats of the wall begin flip and become giant laser cannons, rocket launchers, and things of that nature. The group looks at them in horror. Right when that begins, they hear a noise from behind them, and after using a quick spell, Encard groans, and tells the group that they have apparently been followed by the robot with artillery shells. The robot approaches at the same approximate time as the walls finish turning into giant weapons. However, the guns and things don't fire, as the tube protrudes again, scans the robot, and says, "Data files not found. Intruders detected. Please prepare to be neutralized. Have a nice day." The guns suddenly turn on the new robot and one of them shoots. Angry at being fired at, the giant tank-of-death-bot points its own giant artillery-shell launcher at one of the walls and fires, smashing that wall. The other guns on the walls begin firing at it, and the robot continues killing the walls. However, after having destroyed just three sections o the wall, the robot explodes into flames and dies from the massive amount of hits it has taken. The guns turn to point at Encard and his companions...

OOC: I'm still thinking of a way to get them out of this... http://www.ironworksforum.com/ubb/no...iles/smile.gif

hmmm - I'd envisaged the tank-bot as too big for these corridors - oh well

There is a ftz noise and the tank bot starts to vibrate. The hum of its engines peters out and dies

3 misty clouds come out of the machine and reform into humanoid figures. The vampires like the ones that aren't airtight http://www.ironworksforum.com/ubb/no...es/biggrin.gifhttp://www.ironworksforum.com/ubb/no...es/biggrin.gif

OOC: What is up with the sudden stock of guns? Have we grown weary of our swords and shields?

OOC: Eh... Nanobyte, there have kind of been laser-using robots here for the whole of the thread... I just stuck in a few guns for the various other people to use. *shrug*

IC: Encard thanks the vampires, and they climb the stairs, finding no one at the top. However, as the last of the vampires climbs through, they hear footsteps coming from an adjoining corridor.
