Um, excuse me but, that's bot the wall, and that's not the proper way to listen for something.

“No, no, let him figure it out.” Alessandra says to Grianne with a smirk.

ILLOGICAL. ILLOGICAL. INCORRECT AUDITORY RECEPTACLE PLACEMENT.

OU812 ambles over to the double doors and presses his ear sensor against the door- Perception 16

Grianne mumbles to herself in elvish city people are so weird.

OU812, as you press your audio receptacle to the double door, all is quiet, and the door is easily opened.

Raiik, you can hear the gentle thumping slowly increasing in tempo. It's amazing how soft this door is.

Azrael lets Lythril enjoy this, its not often someone does that to her. Though he did chuckle a bit. Azrael wasn't sure how useful Grianne was going to be to the group if the sight of his perfectly normal nude form caused her such terror... how would she fare against anything more dangerous than a squirrel? but he had been wrong about people before..... so for now he kept his opinions to himself.

As everyone else seems to be listening for everything, Azrael would check the door for traps.

INV: 8

PER: Passive 14

The door has no traps.

Danitriel scowled at the head of the statue. "I've had it with these val'danir snakes under this val'danir city."

“Onwards.” Alessandra says and opens the double doors, making her way through the entrance, not really waiting for anyone else to follow behind.

OU812 stands there in stunned silence, as Alessandra passes him and walks through the double doors.

SUBROUTINE SURPRISE 1.3

”Civilians. Harrumph.”

You pass the double doors, and enter more hallways. These hallways are surprisingly very square - they are both 10' high and 10' wide. What you also notice is that the halls are VERY clean, and free of debris, as if..something is keeping this place clean.

You can veer right and head south, or press on forward and head east.

(My gamer sense is telling me going further east on the northern path that leads to a door is the 'way we're supposed to go' which means we should go that way last :x)

Azrael still somewhat shamed from his last attempt to help, allows the group to choose which way they'll go. Still holding fire bolt ready in case of enemies.

"It's so... Clean." She commented, hearing her voice slightly echo down the halls. She extended her arm with the torch forward, towards the east path, then turned to the south path, squinting her eyes. "Seems to be a split down this way..." Alessandra walked down the southern path to stop right in the middle of the crossing, then turned to the group. "Do you all want to see what's down either of these paths, or go back up east?"

She then waited a literal second and went west.

Following Azrael's gamer sense, and Alessandra's lead - the group heads south, and veers west as indicated on the map. The hall is brightly lit by flickering tallow candles that float in shallow niches along the walls. The candles produce heat but no smoke. The corridor is conspicuously free of dust and debris.

You can hear the rhythmic thumping of something large and metallic walking in the hallway about 60' down the hallway.

Using his night vision (Darkvision, 60 feet), OU812 peers down the tunnel, attempting to see what is making the noise.

Your visual sensors are detecting a magical construct wearing a full suit of plate mail lumbering towards you all slowly. He looks like Nim on steroids. You recommend going to RED ALERT, activating either your defensive or offensive subroutines.

The shield guardian sees OU812 and says : HOSTILES DETECTED. ENGAGING.

"Oh my, yes I'm quite well. Is this some sort of Half-Orc friendship ritual?" Lythril gently sticks her finger into his other ear, then firmly pushes him away *smirk*

She wonders at the cleanliness of the dungeon floors. They must have a fantastic maid service...

"Sorry Az, I need the light..." She picks out a ball bearing and pinches it, giving it a bright green-white light]. Then tosses it down the hallway to bright Light to the darkness.

"Uh, OU812? Is that a friend?" Alessandra questioned the warforged, peeking over his larger frame. Upon hearing the robotic enemy speak, her eyes widened. "Nope, not a friend, not at all. Ready yourselves!"

Initiative: 15

 Azrael stiffened up at the sight of the creature, but let his breathing slow. Initiative: 11

Az was ready to fight if the thing became Hostile towards them. Azrael began preparing to cast Lightning Bolt if it did.

As Azrael waits the situation out, he tries to recall anything he can remember about such a being

Hist 3    or   Arcana 4

But can't recall shit.

OU812 let's out a noticeable growl (he's barbarian raging), hunches down, and begins to run towards the oncoming shield guardian (speed = 40, so I assume it'll take me over a round to reach the beast?), while yelling "Raiik, Paladin of the Helm, WITH ME!"

Initiative: 4

While running and raging, he'll use his bonus action (Frenzy Attack) and hurl a javelin at the oncoming guardian:

Attack: 17 Damage: 6
