Message: <blockquote data-quote="Andrew Moreton" data-source="post: 7842091" data-attributes="member: 6920268">With the railwy challange succesfully completed the team are summoned by the Bruse to hear the results, they are fairly confident that barring massive bribery or mind control they have beaten the Ob. So they start trying to work out how he Ob will snatch tinker. For some reason they think that printing out a map of the throne room indicates there will be trouble there, they settle on a strike team coming out of the Bleak gate  but are not sure about the logistics issues of getting the Iron rings or Lanterns in place. Nevla is concerned they may pull the Daedelus option and kill Tinker so he can't make a Collossus for Risur. They then debate if he could as it seems the steelshaper and mindmaker played a large part, this briefly diverts to working out who the other X-Men are.They turn up at the Throne room ready for a battle, and sit through the Bruse announcing the winner and being dissapointed they were mostly boring although he admits to finding Lya's failure to start a war as amusing, agains demonstrating he is well informed if rather lazy as a ruler. El Kevin points out that this is gurther evidence he is a pupper ruler for his Kobold Intelligence chief and the secret dragons behind him. The others point out this is silly but El Kevin knows the truth. They also notice Kenna not eating and don't think it signifigant, instead watching Lya and her people. They have also come to the conclusion that in a fight they should not kill Lya as she is by far the most senior Ob member they have met who they beleive to be a genuinely well intentioned person and so someone they could turn.As Tinker arrives they are expecting the Ob to make their move instead Lya and her team graciously wait in the waiting room (Ob Wizards have prepared to intercept the teleport and pull the constables and Tinker into an ambush). They speak briefly with TInker ,Manuel and El Kevin discuss mad science and can just about follow TInker and conclude he realy is a Genius and worth recruiting,Then they hear shellfire incoming.Manuel and El Kevin react faster than Tinker. Manuel triggers his steam suit and steps to hold his shield over the Bruse and Tinker, El Kevin shouts a warning.  The agony gas shell hits and the only person in the room effected is the Bruse as the constables are shielded by Ulvaar's magic, they do find the lack of visibility annoying. Then Tinker pulls out a bomb and the team comes to the conclusion that he is a construct and is in charge of the attack. Manuel curse going first as he is now standing next to a bomb. Nevla runs up and grabs the bomb from Tinker , with Padme as a bodyguard , then the five elite guard/terminators attack  2 go for Manuel, 1 for El Kevin and 2 for Nevla inflicting wounds, Kenna starts trying to Kill the Bruse and is making good progress, then going last Ulvaar uses his TK to throw the bomb out of Nevla's hands and into the maze.To be continued</blockquote>
