I Am Not a Robot

The party goes to the Guccimane pride to fix Sprocket. The truth about Sprocket and Dikarus is revealed.

## Major Plot Points

* The party went to Oreskos, the leonin pridelands, to fix Sprocket.
* Juxxtina went to the Cat's Nips for a drink. She bumped into Olipur Greymane at the tavern. He drunkenly boasted about beating her in the Iroan Games and how he slept with her crush that night. The two exchanged bad insults.
* Sprocket "Ballsy" Gnoman III wandered off by himself to Catastrophe. He evaded a leonin who tried to kidnap him and made his way to the weapons dealer. He was soon kicked out for not having enough gold. Dikarus Bottombane realized Sprocket was missing and went to find him. They put their gold together to buy a fur lining for Sprocket's armor, making it cold resistant.
* Holy Lady Labya, Sybil Ringwell, Aryan Grande, and Muchomucho M Amor went to Furses. They bought Cats Eye Goggles for Sybil, Boots of Pouncing for Labya, and a Silencer Collar for Mucho.
* They regrouped at Speaker Brimaz's tent. The leonin ambassador examined Sprocket and told them to go to the Forge of the World. Mucho recruited a crow to safely show them the way.
* At the door to the forge, Mucho correctly answered the riddle, "What can you swallow but can also swallow you?" by saying, "Pride."
* The group then had to cross a large river of lava inside the mountain.
* Upon finding three identical doors, Sprocket's Klothys Contacts revealed the third led to an elevator and the second was a mimic. Sybil's detect evil and good found undead behind the first door.
* The party used the elevator to go 100 feet down into the earth. They were greeted by a construct named Unabot when they reached the forge. Despite being mostly out of commission, Sprocket jumped in to help Unabot who was clearly falling apart. Unabot said he was being phased out due to newer constructs being forged.
* Sybil and Sprocket convinced Unabot that he should fight to live and that they could be friends. Unabot was touched by their kindness and agreed to take them around the forge.
* Unabot brought them to a mage's laboratory where a leonin mage was failing to control a pair of burning hands he brought to life. The hands unleashed waves of fire at the party and killed Unabot. His last words were, "Unabot died a friend."
* Dikarus and Juxxtina snuffed out the burning hands. Upset over Unabot's death, Sprocket unleashed a thunder wave that killed the leonin mage and injured his comrades. Juxxtina's prayer of healing helped the group recover.
* The group discovered a leonin blacksmith stealing some ores and precious gems. He told the group his pitch to build Battle Thots was denied so he's leaving. After some back and forth, the party let him go his way with his stolen goods.
* The party then met with High Priestess Simbrax. She examined Sprocket and revealed he was an anvilwrought, a creature forged by Purphoros himself. She thanked them for bringing him home and offered 1,000 gold for the gnome. The party declined and got into a fight with her and her guard. Muchomucho's acidic chromatic orb melted her face off. Aryan then scared off her guard by intimidating him with a thrown sock.
* The group went to find Oracle Rorza but first had to deal with a ram sentinel. It unleashed a fire breath on the party and slammed its horns against them. Aryan's giant slayer crossbow struck it down.
* Rorza greeted the party, revealing herself to be an anvilwrought forged by Purphoros as well. She didn't want to be Guccimane's oracle but was gifted to them by the god of the forge. The lionfolk wouldn't let her leave.
* She repaired Sprocket and the party helped her escape. Since they took their oracle, the leonin wouldn't help in the war against Queen Nekros. Rorza brought some leonin folk with her and promised to forge more warriors and weapons.
* Sprocket thanked his friends for all of their help and apologized for not being himself.
* Feeling guilty, Dikarus confessed to being the one who destroyed Sprocket In Your Pocket. He said his mother is the Silver Queen and she ordered him to steal the reanimator from the gnome's shop. He burned the shop down to cover up the crime.
* When Dikarus gave the reanimator to his mother, he warned her about The Returned. His mother said war was good for profits and whoever was left after the dead were defeated would be easier to control. This angered Dikarus so he quit being the Spellfire Club's Mercury Knight and joined the party.
* Sprocket told the party his reanimator was an invention that he hoped would make him a real humanoid. He forgave Dikarus for his crimes.
* Labya asked Dikarus if he knew Vulveeta since he knew criminals. He said no but his mother met her once. She's Emma Diamondfrost, the former spymaster of the Zhentarim, and now Silver Queen of the Spellfire Club.
* Rorrza gifted Muchomucho a rainbow genie's pipe for his birthday.
* When Sybil asked Rorza if she knew a way to silence the voices in her head, Rorza said she'd bring the party to the Moon's Mirror. It's a mystical lake with potent divination magic. It may have answers for her.
