Allansia Wildlands Campaign.

Shalana sat at a table in the corner of the room by itself, the flicking candlelight dancing across it's metal framework. It had placed both robotic hands palm down on the table as it focused on the minute vibrations the Ascended One sends out, penetrating the very fabric of reality.

Shalana's chants, barely audible and contained little more than a one or a zero. The mechanical contraption stopped. The eyes flickered back to life with the red eerie glow as it scanned the room, fixating on Banzo and Brocc.

"Flesh requires subsistence. Shalana will wait," it spoke with mechanical precision and clarity as it began to scan the room again, noticing most people are having breakfast and not wanting to stand out, moves to the counter. "One pork sausage, Barkeep."

Shalana:

The rather rough looking dwarven woman fixed him with one eye, " Coming up.  Wasn't sure you ate? "

" Your not the first crafted person I've seen.  Back home, we had a Quartz Statue that was blessed by Kerrellim who began speaking and conducting services one day." 

" You looking at the heroes? Saved the town from Dark Elves they did, must of been a hundred strong down there in the dark...."

Is probably somewhere sharing breakfast with Leewinnette, but probably easy enough to find

(sorry for going awol for a week!)

"One must not unnerve the Flesh for they are fickle like the wind," it pauses, "Shalana has met enlightened constructs before, where is the Quartz Statue located?" it asks as it begins to sit at a barstool and swivels to look at the two at the table. "Divine intervention has given oneself a chance to encounter." Shalana's circuitry buzzes with excitement at the news about the heroes.

Brocc nods to Banzo. "Looks like it is just us now." He says, glancing around the room, then to the pile of items on the table. "Do you want any of this, or should we sell it, maybe back in the city?" His spider is lowered down behind his chair, resting on its large central body.

Shalana looks at the cooked sausage and mashes it to his face. "That was sufficiently acceptable, Barkeep. Flesh seems to be not scared of me," it looks over to Banzo locking iris to eye. "Damn it."

Quote from Brian_Avery >>

"Let's finish eating and I can use a ritual to find out if any of it is magical, perchance."

After eating Banzo will ritual cast Detect magic to see if any of the items are magical in nature.

Then looking around, "Looks like something is drawing more attention than us for once." Banzo nods toward the metal construct at the bar.

( The items are magical as detailed in each of their links)

(sorry for going awol for a week!)

 Leewinnette finishes her breakfast of fruit and pancakes and gives Hatch a kiss on the forehead, "" I have to go to work....."

She reaches up her gnomish hand and touches his left horn, " These really do come in useful....I think your friends are probably downstairs, you should get dressed first though."

She shrugged on her overalls and shot out the door, " If your in town again look me up, who knew having a fiendish heritage had so many hidden extras to it."

As your all having breakfast, an elven man wanders inside. He's tall, for an elf, but very slenderly built, he moves with a casual grace with a near constant smile on his face. he wears brightly colored clothing with a dagger and rapier on his hips, but carries a lute at the ready, frequently strumming a gentle tune as he moves. As he circles the room, he starts singing the tale of how the brave warriors faced down and defeated not only a hundred dark elves, but even banished their demonic overlord (I don't really know what you've done so far, but that's not important, he's going to embellish it anyway). He finishes his song by asking the gods what they have in store for their mighty heroes next.

Performance: 8

After he finishes, he takes a seat next to them and smiles brightly, "Greetings heroes of the land! My name is Zeltheris, a simple bard traveling the world. I've decided to accompany you to compile a first hand account of your exploits so that I can create a great masterpiece in your honor that will still be sung for generations, isn't that great! So, where are we headed next?"

 The crowd is so won over by the performance they push handfuls of silver into the bards hands ( 25 gp worth), and place another pouch of gold ( 50 gp) onto the companions breakfast table.

Zeltheris gratefully accepts the coin, and as the crowd places the pouch on the table he beams at the others, "See? Having me around is already paying off. As for your question," he turns to peer at the figure at the bar, "Ah, a created man! Yes, that would be a perfect addition to my tale-I mean, to your group of heroes. Hello there! Why don't you come join us?"

"It is how the Ascended One ordained. Praise the Iris," it exclaims as it wipes the mushed sausage off its faceplate and clanks over to the table. "Greetings Flesh. Would you all be interested in the teachings of the Iris and achieve enlightenment?" asks the janky robot man.

Shalana clanks into a chair and sits. The rust is a little noticeable and some of the bearings are worn at close up.

"Banzo added to memory. Preference edited. Hello Banzo," it spoke looking at or rather scanning the Tortle. "I am designated Shalana. My objective is to walk the path of the Ascended One and achieve enlightenment. Shalana has made zero progress. This is not efficient. You are heroes, the teachings speak of this being one of many paths to achieving my goal," it rattles off, giving the impression that Shalana has done the same speech a thousand times before. "Shalana will join you to blend in with Flesh."

 Waves goodbye as she shoots out the door and finishes up his last pancake before heading out and finding his companions at the tavern. He nods his head at them in greeting as he takes a seat.

"So, shall we decide on our next grand adventure today lads?" He is feeling chipper today.

Brocc would have cast identify on the items that were magical, while the turtle-man detected magic on them.

As the bard, and the construct, joined them, Brocc would seem far less-impressed with the bard than the construct.

"This flesh you can call Brocc." Brocc introduces himself. "What does this path of enlightenment consist of?" He is clearly looking over the body of the construct, intent on learning as much as possible of how it works.

"Brocc added to memory. Preference edited. The path of enlightenment requires absolute devotion of mind, body and soul to achieve harmony with the fabric of reality, only then you can Ascend," Shalana rambles on. It takes a brief pause before a little ding is heard from within the metal body and the irises flicker off. A few moments go by before the irises switch back on. "Do you have any oil?" It looks to the rest of the group, obviously in need of it.

Zeltheris smiles again and greets the new arrival, "Ah, another intrepid member of this heroic group, yes, plan your next quest! The more glorious the better!"

 The dwarven woman making her rounds shoves her head into the conversation, " We've cooking oil....and theres oil they use for the crushers over at the smelter."

Brocc, Banzo and Hatch get to know the two newcomers as they eat.

The rest of the crowd mostly filters out to work for the day leaving the five of them mostly alone apart from some people chatting at the bar.

"Praise the Iris. Shalana will go to the smelter for oil. Would new friends help me on this quest to ease the rusting joints?"
