Toryn, Pabsit, and Oskar:
The wooden door opens with ease, swinging inwards to reveal a simple, if not slightly small, room. You can see a window directly opposite the door that overlooks the 'city', with a small, chair-less desk in front of it. You cannot see anything that would be on the desk, as its placed up at a very high level.
But in front of the desk and blocking a clear view of the window is an...object. It is very large, explaining why the desk is set so high up, with a blocky, very vageuly humanoid construction. At the joints of its pyramid shaped 'arms' you can see small golden gears and other clockwork within. It has no legs, instead with its torso tappering off into another inverted pyramid which floats a few inches above the ground. You do notice that, while its not actually touching the floor, it seems to be pressing a slight weight on the floorboards and creating the lines that were seen all over.
It does not say anything, if its actually even capable of speaking, as the disk-shaped head had no 'mouth' or even eyes, a nose, or ears. Though it doesn't speak, you all feel an odd sense of surprise that permeates through the entire room before the thing looks down to all of you eyelessly and looks ready to charge.
((Going to jump to Initiative order here. Oskar 21. Toryn 10. Pabsit 22. 'Construct' 18. Puts the order at: Pabsit, Oskar, 'Construct', then Toryn.
Actions? (Oh, and I know that deadestdai's not around for the moment, so if it takes waiting too long, I'll NPC Pabsit this round.))

Seeing the Construct, Pabsit spits on the floor and hops back behind Oskar, storing Widow's Tongue in his quiver and drawing out Sender instead. Making sure that he was both safe behind and had a clear shot through (or around) the stout dwarf, the Grippli draws an arrow and get's ready to let fly.

"This is ridiculous," Ruslan says finally, and waves everyone out of the way. Pointing at the door, a ray of green light reaches out and attempt to vaporize it into ash.
OOC - disinitigrating the door, because he can and it makes a great entrance!

Ruslan, Baril, and Lou:
The soft green light slides out from Ruslan's extended finger and striaght for the door. When it hits, the green engulfs the entire door, and in an odd moment, the door vanishes, with only a small pile of ash lining the place where it had stood.
Through the door, you see yet another room...this one looks empty, and disturbingly clean. The walls are not of stone, but of a sleek, metallic like surface that shines in a soft light of which you can't see the source. Though the room is devoid of anything, you do see two...well, they're probably doors. Both are of the same sleek metal, but have no handle. The only indication that they could possibly be a door is that they're set slightly into the wall, and there is a small slit at about eye level.
One 'door' sits exactly opposite the disintigrated one, and the other on the left wall.
Toryn, Pabsit, and Oskar:
The 'construct' does not attack, but you do see a blueish glow extend out from it for a short moment. After it fades, you notice that the limbs of the thing are moving much faster, as its all of its joints. While it doesn't go after you, you all hear a sharp, inhuman voice echo through your minds.
"You are not permitted in this location! Leave immediately or measures will be taken to see that you do!"

Pabsit spat a large glod of saliva onto the floor. I'm not one to trrreble at thrrreats. The Grippli looked about, more a gesture to let "whoever" was watching know that he meant the words for their benefit alone. An' rrrunning isn't my thing eitherrrr. He tapped the dwarf on his shoulder. Smash it.
The Grippli reached into his pack and pulled out, then drank a potion of Blur. Once the lightness of his new state filled him, he once again notched an arrow and aimed at the construct, ready let fly once his dwarven friends charged.

Not liking the way Pabsit ordered him around, Oskar only partially listens. He runs into the room to take a swing at the construct and backs away after his attack.
(OOC - Spring attack on the construct with his adamantine waraxe, moving back as close to original position as possible, +28, 1d10+15, 19-20x3)
