Kinnik stares at the disc (and I think with that failed roll I have to treat it as a momentary resurgence of his attraction to shiny things). He tries to grab at the shiny. Dex 21 if Olen tries to stop him.
Copper deflects one of the swipes, the other cuts across his arm though he doesn't seem to notice the wound at all, instead just lashing out again with his axe
This post has potentially manipulated dice roll results.
Kinnik takes 1 lightning damage from touching the cog as it punishes him with a zap. Shroud's arrows simply hit the cog, but nothing else seems to happen. The thing doesn't seem to want to budge.
Meanwhile, Cap deals a decisive blow to the "Warforged"... or so he thought. It was about to crumble to the ground, but a pulse of electricity seemed to offer the machine a second chance to maim. It reached toward Cap - its eyes glowing blue, its ghurla flashing wild colors at him, for a moment, it looked as though Cap may find his end against this creature-!
But Copper's axe cut through the "Warforged" once and for all. All it's pieces fall to the ground unceremoniously.
With the final, real death of the machine, the cog suddenly lands with a thud onto the table. A tentative poke from anyone reveals it will no longer zap you.

Now that the battle fever has died down, everyone notices there is, in fact, a chest in one of the corners of the room...

For a brief moment, between the time Cap opens the chest and Vasha announces his tomfoolery, Cap is ready to meet his doom. Of course, don't these flesh bags usually trap their ancient loot? He winces - but then -
Nothing happens.
Relieved, he reaches into the chest and pulls out an old scroll case. Copper senses an abjuration aura on this object. Looking inside and pulling out the scroll - they appear to be blueprints of some kind. They look as though they were written up just yesterday.

Shroud finds 20 gold coins with similar markings to the other coinage they found. These are definitely not from the current year.
He also spots, under the tables, two strange spheres. The sphere is five inches in diameter and clear, allowing anyone to peer inside. Cogs and machinery click away inside, though the source of power cannot be determined. There seems to be a button near the top of the spheres.

The sphere clicks and clacks as you see the cogs and machinery start to rearrange themselves. The clear plating darkens with different colors. Soon, the sphere opens up and reshapes itself into the form of a 5-inch human soldier holding a non-pointy saber. There is a button on it's back that you suppose would turn it back into a sphere. Its arms and legs seem posable. It looks like it could be a child's toy.

Vasha shrugs as she wanders about the room, inspecting the ancient relics without knowing really what to make of them, "Suppose it's for the best. Boss'll want this thing back sooner than later. Still, this junk has to be worth something!" She grabs a piece of scrap from an animated automaton, "Step right up, Gents! This magical.....beauty will keep you safe from harm, bring goos luck and fortune, and even do wonders with the missus!"

Copper has been standing over the mechanical corpse for some moments, simply staring at his reflection in the blade. At Olen's question he snaps back to reality. "Yeah, let's grab what we can and high-tail it outta here." he'll do just that, helping to carry any of the loot they've found on their way back to Boss.

"Well that was interesting."
Olen looks at the schema with curiosity.
"I didn't know they could create magical 'items' on their own. I thought it would take the magic mumbo-jumbo of an artificer, to make them work."
"Should we wrap it in a bed roll, in case it comes alive again? I certainly wouldn't want it zapping me if it came alive in my pocket."
Olen looks around at his friends,
"Who wants to carry it?"

Kinnik has the schema squirreled away into his bag before Olen finishes talking.
"Hey, fish gotta swim, right?" he says with a sheepish grin.

GASP loot yes.
Cap runs over to the chest and attempts to open it.
"Ignorance is bliss, and you look absolutely miserable."
Olen smiles at Kinnik,
"Keep it safe, Boss is going to want it in one piece."
As Cap goes over and crouches down in front of the chest, Olen notices and comes over.
"What have we got here Cap?"

"Those look interesting, we should show them to Boss. Whoever is after the schema, might pay handsomely for them as well."
"We should have a look around, see if there is anything else we can find of value, to take with us."
Olen starts to search the room for anything of value.

"Anyone got any idea what these are?"
Olen holds out one of the two spheres, for the others to examine.
"Hmm, there are buttons on top..."
Olen presses the button on the sphere he is holding, the other he has already tucked into his pack.

"Oh, What did I do! Dam buttons and their irresistible allure! At least it didn't attack us."
Olen lets out a sigh,
"These are interesting, we should be able to get some nice coin form them as well."
Olen looks around at his friends,
"So, do we want to go back and get the wine from the other room, and then head back out?"
