The unicorn patiently watches the scene between Reed and IronMaiden play out before answering the artificer's question. Finally, it answers with a hollow, echoey voice that sounds a bit male - with a note of arrogance. "And what kind of information would a walking suit of armor be requiring?" He then looks down towards Reed, "The unicorn most definitely does not want to be there." and he shakes his head to accentuate the point.
IronMaiden straightens out and cocks their head to one side pondering something they hadn't thought about much before, "am... am I a lady?" Then louder directed toward the unicorn, "yes hello! Am I a lady? Also, are you powering the big demon killing laser? Also, if we were to get you out of there, firstly how would we do that? and secondly would the lack of a giant demon killing laser be a bad thing?... I have more questions but I am also trying to practice patience, thank you in advance for your answers."
“Definitely put there.” Virro says as they walk over, then the Unicorn answers, startling him. “Ah… hello there. What is your name? And how long have you been here, any idea? Perhaps we could… perhaps we could help each other, what do you say? My name is Virro Fallcloud. Thank you for protecting us from those dastardly hell wasps, if you can keep on zapping, that would be great. But, I imagine that you might like out of there, is that right?"

A wizard is never late, nor is he early, he arrives precisely when he means to.
The unicorn cocks his head a bit as the barrage of questions hit him. Taking his time to make sure he answers each one, he first addresses IronMaiden, "Yes, I believe I am powering this contraption, as well as luring those savage beasts. As for getting me out.. you'd have to take down this structure that holds me aloft. Though, I will warn you, some creature comes out if you attack this.. so there is that. And well, maybe, but how fair is it that I live out my days trapped in here!"
Turning to Virro, he bows his neck a bit, "The name is Mooncolor, nice to meet you all. How long? So long I don't remember a time that I was not here. Though I do know I have magical abilities and I can't use them here... I know that sounds odd, but I can just feel it. And just having them and not being able to use them, well, you can understand the frustration that would create! So yes.. yes I would very much like to get out of here."
Mooncolor smiles at Corlith, but it is almost a smirk, "Interesting question. But yes, I am physically here."
Corlith listens to Mooncolor and considers for a moment.
"What sort of creature? I assume that if people have come before and tried to free you and failed, the guardian is pretty formidable?", he enquires. He doesn't sound overly keen to try and fail, bearing in mind the consequences might be fatal.
Ironmaiden had a point as well, to remove the unicorn would mean more demons.
"you say you do not remember a time when you were not trapped here, that must be a very long time, surely the frustration you feel at your current predicament would help you remember who exactly did this to you?" IronMaiden considers. Whilst the unicorn replies, IM becomes fascinated by the structure itself, it contains some kind of creature but how, magical means, mechanical? They approach but do not touch the structure looking for any clues at all.
Mooncolor thinks a minute, "What sort of creature.. well it sat upon a swirling dust cloud that spun really fast, was all sparkly and seemed to be made of the very ground it came out of." he sighs, "That's probably not very helpful, but its what I remember from the last time that was very long ago. Frustration? At times yes, at times it just is what it is."
"hey!" IronMaiden straightens up from looking at the structure and turns back toward mooncolour, "you've been here a long time so it may be overwhelming to have so many questions all at once, but I would like to know, who exactly put you here?"
Mooncolor turns so that his entire body faces IronMaiden, "No need to get snippy. You aren't the one that is trapped in this sphere. It's been so long that I honestly don't even remember. Some devil I'm sure seeing that this contraption takes out demons. But which one? What difference does it make?"
IronMaiden raises a metal finger to interject a scathing response, but then hesitates, "your logic is sound, and I suppose it doesn't actually matter which devil put you there, apologies my inquisitive nature gets ahead of me sometimes... Speaking of such matters your structure here is simply made of rusted metal, no runes, no openings, no seam for a hatch. it's craftsmanship, however old and oast it's prime, is quite well made. I wonder about it's internal composition, if it is hollow, and if so what is inside" and with that IM turns their head to listen and raises a hand ready to knock on the structure.
Virro nods, listening to the ideas. "So, Mooncolor. To get out. Do you have any idea how to do that..exactly? Take down the structure?" Virro walks a little closer to it, examining it. He's looking at the structure, for any sign of weakness, any way to get it to collapse or break open.

Then he tilts his head as if he's listening to something, paused for a moment.

A wizard is never late, nor is he early, he arrives precisely when he means to.
As discussion turns to the structure that holds the unicorn a loft, Mooncolor simply watches them to see what the party is going to do. But at Corlith's words, he merely states, "If that was the case, this contraption would have blown it to bits."
When IronMaiden hits the metal with their fist, they can tell that it is very solid, but not all the way through. Like the walls are extremely thick, but they can feel the vibration through it as though it has room to travel within.
"If the structure was no longer here... I would no longer be held aloft, so that is definitely the right direction." he responds to Virro.
"hmmm, there are two ways of doing this, either we break the structure or learn more about how it is keeping mooncolour aloft, this bubble around you, it is arcane in nature but is it protective? Some kind of abjuration feature?" IronMaiden seems antsy and tries simplifying their line of questioning, "if I targeted you with a spell enhancing your ability to break out, would it reach you mooncolour?"
The unicorn takes a moment to decipher IM's questions, "In the past, the ones that have tried to help me before, and those that were trying to destroy me... anything fired at this bubble just ricocheted off. Beyond that, I don't know much about it. It holds me aloft, lets me breathe, I don't have to eat or sleep... definitely magical and it stops me from using any of my magic. This in particular is especially vexing."
"Of course. Demons and devils get me a bit muddled. If this structure and Mooncolor are here to destroy demons, then I would a devil to be involved" Corlith replies.
"This is indeed 'vexing' I concur. This brings us to the second option, attacking the structure directly. I have a plan but I'll need your assistance Mister Krell. The construction of this structure is primarily metal and it seems to have rusted which I believe may betray its vulnerability is less than that of a normal magically enchanted item. If I a Mable to supre heat this entire structure and you then cool it quickly with those ice blast you can do, I believe the resulting stress will crumble the outer structure and either destroy the structure entirely or provide us with a weak point at least. Everyone else should be on guard for this creature which may be summoned, does that sound acceptable?"
For a moment Corlith doesn't register Ironmaidne is talking to him. To him, his father is Mister Krell.
"You really want to risk our mission by summoning the guardian of this place?", he asks Ironmaiden. He looks up to Mooncolor, "If we were to free you, would you in turn help us?".

Corlith looks closely at the unicorn, and although there have been a lot of questionable, he feels compelled to ask one of his own.
"Are you even physically here? Or is it just your soul that is trapped?".

"Some form of earth creature? I would have expected a demon or the like", Corlith muses.

Since no one takes the initiative to stop IronMaiden their first comes down unhindered and they give the rusted metal structure a knock.
