Mardigan sighs and sadly looses his flail. He walks forward towards the machines Well...Thisi s bad news. Times like these a man wishes he had adamantine weaponry. Khuther, do you have any idea how warforged work? How do we make sure these guys never activate? I also think we should destroy the machines....put the spirits of these warforged to rest.

'My knowledge of the machines is very limited, but i know how to "heal one" maybe theres a slim chanse that these forged can be healed into animation and make them friendly towards us, but thats a loong shot'

'I tend also to destroy them all, maybe the book shelfs has the necesarry information to destroy them or activate them and control them somehow' 'shelf like that many times has traps on them' 'can anyone rule that out before i start looking into the books?'

"Do they remain living, free willed beings? If they are, we should try to save them. If they are more like the animated remains of such, equivalent to zombies, I suppose destroying them is the best we can do."
Kenn steps into the room, crossbow never wavering from the immobile warforged.
"I'm not sure they ever qualified as living or free-willed to begin with. Wasn't some wizard working on that particular problem?"
He takes another step towards the shelves, crossbow still trained on the warforged.
"Tourant, or Douring, or some name like that?"
The warforged remain still, other than the ... pieces... crawling over the thrumming machine.
Rio does not recall enough about possession to easily identify how to purge these things if they are possessed. It is beyond his ken. However, he knows a simple protection ritual will ward one of possession temporarily. [protection from evil will suppress possession for its duration] Unfortunately, all of this knowledge applies to "normal" living things; it is unclear what happens in the case of destroyed warforged.
Kenn does not see anything on the shelves that would suggest traps to his trained eye. It should be safe enough to sift though, though it'd take some time.

"Didn't he find a solution? Something to do with a briefcase, I think?"
Gathering up the papers, Kuther tries to piece together what is going on while the others look nervously at the machine and dormant warforged. It takes him a while to put it all together, but what he finds is disturbing.

Read about similar cases when the Seventh Legion attempted undead revivication on not quite dead subjects, but that should not be the case here. These things were never alive...

OOC: There are some sketchy details on the construction that folks need to try to make heads or tail of. Can I have some Arcana, Religion, and Disable Device checks?

Mardigan takes a hard look at the papers Leave it to Karnath to screw up the world. First they are the aggressors of a war that cost me a homeland and know undead warforged. It makes me sick. I still have no idea how any of what they described functions.

Looking over the notes, Rio nods.
"See, this is my point exactly. People get hung up on the form life takes, and don't give it the respect that it is due. Warforged are alive. If the original spirit that animated them, whatever its source, is still in there, we ought to try and save it if we can find a way."
Kenn's nose twitches violently.
"I'm embarrassingly ignorant about the mechanics of this, but I can at least read."
He points at Khuther's handful of papers.
"That machine is clearly doing something sick and wrong to warforged, even by my undemanding standards. I suggest we shut it down with a blast disc and a few dozen vials of alchemist's fire. Failing that, it sounds like it's fuelled by a strange creepy rock: removing it should take the fuel out of the forge."
He looks around. "I quite understand if nobody wanted to mention they were carrying a blast disc: no harm done and we won't ask any questions."
'Seems to me this is a wicked place and constructs' 'to much people is mad' Khuther roll the papers and stuff them into his case 'Im afraid im not near to comprehend how these things work' 'or how we can release the forged that is trapped in there' ' suggestions?'

Kenn sidesteps towards the strange machine, one eye and his crossbow trained on the glass door.
"Kuther, do you have a spell that seals doors? I'd be much happier if those things couldn't casually come out to play."
Khuhter sighs and look at Kenn 'Well not precisely that' 'when i was at school i wanted to learn that but i concentrated on other matters of magic' he lifts his sleeves and shows his dragonmarks 'but i can put a ward on the door to set of a alarm' 'not that it will prevent anyone to cross...''should i?'
