"Aye, let's go and start smashing some giants, or drow, or whatever else ya've been huntin' out here" Dori says excitedly, his hands already reaching down to his weapon.

As the group assembles together once again, with the two newcomers, they notice once they near the lift that the shaft is empty.

The lift has left.
 


Even the keen eyes of the beast cannot see far enough in the dark shaft to determine where the lift went.

The trip up took some time, and you realize that you aren't exactly close to the ground anymore, but from all appearances, you aren't anywhere close to the top of the building either.

As the others gather around and ponder where exactly the lift went, you hear a whirring noise and then see Domoris recoil from the edge of the shaft as the lift appears from above, empty, and stops at your floor.

Its voice booms out something as it stops.

[sblock=Giant]
You called? booms out the lifts voice.

"Well, if by perceive, you mean being able to read peoples minds when they stand at any of the entrances to my lift-shaft, then yes, I perceive the same as you do. But I can't really know how little folks such as yourself perceive things."

"As to where I went, well, I just came back from the 38th floor, where I dropped some folks off who figure they can break into the arcane laboratory."

"I figure they'll be ready for me to take them back downstairs shortly. No one has been able to enter there since my creators left."

Dreadnought perks up at that, and looks at the others hopefully.

"This could be an opportunity to get some answers," he mentions.

Then he faces the door again and booms in the Giant tongue:

[sblock=Giant]"These others you took. Have you told them of us? What did they look like? Did they just arrive, or have they been in the tower for long?"[/sblock]
 

[sblock=Giant]
"Why yes, they were the curious sort as well -- asking 'where I was', 'what was I doing'"

"You small folk are all quite nosy, if you ask me."

"As for their appearance, they were smallfolk such as yourselves, although none of them looked like you mechanical creatures."

"As I said before, I just dropped them off, so they haven't been here long."

Dori stares at the others talking in the language of his hated foes incredulously, but decides to say nothing, after all they saved him, but the dwarf now kept his guard up around them.
 

Hudder, HP 85/85, AC 25, DR 5/magic, saves F+12/R+8/W+4

Hudders eyes cross for a moment as stairs at the empty lift. "Did I get meself konked on the head, or is Dreadnaught talkin to an elavator?"
