"Are you afraid to leave the forest, Sierra?" Alta glanced over at the scarred elf sitting in the chair across from her.
Sierra glanced up, biting her lip. "I...see no reason to leave. I am happy here."
"But you could be happy somewhere else, too. Why not try it?"
"I did," Sierra admitted softly. "Long before your grandparents were born, over three hundred years ago, I left the High Forest to travel. It was...wonderful. I met so many people, and I met...them." A soft smile appeared on her face. "Their name was Rionavar. When I first met them, they were an elf being attacked by a fey'ri, and I saved their life...or so I thought." She laughed lightly. "I found out they were never truly in danger the next day. We were ambushed, surrounded by the same fiends that we'd fought off the day before. There was a blur of silver and cold, and suddenly I was surrounded by icy statues and a great silver dragon." She gave a soft sigh. "We traveled together for years. Decades. We went everywhere we could, and that was almost anywhere. I was happy, truly."
Alta bit her lip, suspecting she knew the answer. "What happened?"
"Tragedy."
"And now you're afraid to leave the forest."
"...Yes," Sierra admitted, tracing a hand over her scarred face. "Perhaps now I am afraid to leave the forest."
Alta pulls her blade from her back. "I'm not afraid of you," she growls to the air, glaring at the temple and the statue as she re-enters the chamber the others are in from the chapel.
**** yes, backstory! Excellent. Crispy digs that shit.
Those peeking down the hall are at the check mark. You see something at the X. About 70' away down the hall, something is moving. You catch a glimpse of it. It's a round metal container that's holding a beating heart in some sort of liquid. It's moving by two metal chicken legs, and it's the size of a work out ball you'd see in the gym. It looks like a metal beholder with the heart as it's central eye with no eyestalks on top, or a mouth. It's clearly a construct powered by this heart. The heart swims in some sort of fluid, beating at a high pace. It appears to be on patrol.
You have never seen something like this before. It appears to be some sort of patrol device, like it's looking for something. Most likely intruders. How it's powered by a beating heart, you have no clue. But Dalavash's detect magic is beeping like crazy. It hasn't noticed you all yet, and it's slowly trotting towards you down the hall.
Just before any battle is joined, Dalavash pulls out one of his scrolls of Bless, casting on Alta, Kitsune and Seldor. (They get +1d4 to attacks and ST for 1minute).

Kitsune's first attacks completely shatters and wrecks the Thessalheart construct, spilling organic fluid and a beating heart on to the stone floor in a huge puddle The unit shouts in some sort of broken arcane voice "ALERT! ALERT! INTRUDERS! INTRUDERS!" before the heart stops beating and the constructs stops functioning. It is very likely that whatever it was, it has alerted something, or someone.
It is very clear that someone or something made this scouting device, and it's not very powerful at all, yet powered in a strange way you've never seen before. Lucas perks up. "Alright! Enough standing around! You fools have a job to do. Let's go! Where to next?"
"Would you wait for a moment? Finding magical time stones is dangerous work and now every monster in this dungeon knows we're here. Do you have a date that you need to rush to?" Seldor thinks for a moment about where he wants to go next, as well as the fact that the dickbag robot does not help Sir Ursas' case in his eyes. "Zone 27."

"Be still, my heart." Hamdel mutters. "Shall we kill this thing?"
"We'll probably have to."

How it's powered by a beating heart, you have no clue. But Dalavash's detect magic is beeping like crazy. It hasn't noticed you all yet, and it's slowly trotting towards you down the hall.
Kitsune will cast Hunter's Mark silently on the oncoming device, marking it for the inevitable oncoming battle.

Alta scowls down at the yuckiness. "He's right. Let's go." The barbarian will hesitantly lead the way to the next zone.
