27/04/2021 - Construct Conversation, Marut Mayhem, and Near-death-Nervousness

## Catching Up

* Going to take watches in the fan room
* Bayul and Leo fall asleep on watch, but its okay because nothing happens
* Tamsin and Kunai appear during Azurial and Breena's watch
* Kunai glows for a minute to show off - then he and Tamsin manage to get past the fan trap
* Kunai and Azurial have a moment, as do Tamsin and Breena
* Tamsin and Kunai lie through their teeth about fighting all the other insects, and then take 3rd watch
* Azurial has a vision about the guy who got him kicked out of Celestia and Niendra; he is protected by Bahamut. Bahamut reassures him and flies him away to Fishguard. Throdin is talking to black hooded figures (looking for us?). Bahamut flies into the mountain and shows Azurial a large book in a vault, saying it's necessary to give it to Highbearer Tarig at the Platinum Temple (in Iysgarth) to defeat Niendra.
* Why does the guild want us to get the tablet?
* How to stop the guild getting the tablet – lie to them about finding it until we are sure about their intentions????
* Discussing Kunai and Tamsin's theory that Page is suspicious for wanting them to find it.
* Has anyone heard of the Ouroboric Temple? Asks Kunai. No one has
* Is the prison going to be successful? Killing her would be more substantial when it comes to Niendra, thinks Bayul
* Breena gets to keep the key

## Construct conversation

* Above the door: The Hall of the Inevitable
* Agreed that there's something construct like behind the door
* Breena spots a trap in the keyhole, if the wrong key is placed in. Luckily we have the right key.
* There's a huge construct (a Marut) on a raised section in the centre of a rectangular room. One massive eye, gold plate chest, super tanked, punchy fists.
* Stares at us to see what we'll do. Breena holds up the necklace and nothing happens.
* Start to move and it moves forward.
* Breena says that we're here to check the vault for Sariel and that Primus gave us permission to pass.
* Azurial tries to converse with the construct, tries to convince it that we're not a threat and it can go back it its creator. It says "that is incorrect" in Celestial.
* Its primary purpose is to fulfil its contract. It does not recognise Bahamut's authority or Jazirian's. We try to appeal via Primus but it ignores us instead.
* Azurial attempts to get closer to read what's on its chest but it threatens him so he doesn't.
* Lysandre knows that contracts forged on Mechanus are hard-core and cannot be easily changed, especially one sanctioned by Primus. Would probably have to be on Mechanus to change it.
* It steps towards us and comes down off the plinth. It points at the door.

## Inevitable Fight

* Kunai gets to use his kunai again
* Bayul has a level in Barbarian now
* Azurial, Kunai and Bayul are Hasted (by Tamsin and Lysandre). Leo is Hasted and Enlarged (by Breena).
* Leo tries to Banish it but it passes
* Bayul headbutts the Marut and crits and hits in the crotch
* Tamsin gets the original killing blow with a Fireball! But the Marut re-animates immediately, but with less armour.
* The Marut can now do crazy teleportation shenanigans.
* She somehow manages to avoid the teleportation as does Belgaer
* Sigils appear in every corner of the room
* Leo gets knocked out and Azurial gets him back up, but he loses all his teeth
* Breena is hit by the teleport mayhem, is incapacitated, and teleported into a lightning cage
* Azurial is teleported into a Reverse Gravity circle
* Bayul ends up teleported in a fire circle
* The Maurt lets out a radiant blast that knocks nearly the entire party unconscious. It then slam attacks Bauyl and Azurial, taking both nervously close to perma-death.
* Kunai has too many d6s
* Everyone is still down, and worryingly near-death
* Kunai is in teleported to a cold circle, but crossbows it in the face and takes it down, this time permanently

## After the fight

* Everyone is got back up one by one and we take a short rest
* Tamsin investigates and finds a key in the centre of the body
* Wiring is high grade gold and platinum - Leo harvests it
* 1000gp worth of gold; 500gp worth of platinum
* Leo makes Thieves' Tools for Kunai
* Kunai pulls the wall down
