A scream is heard from the wall as a slot opens up and the Engineer slides out, hitting the floor with a "oof!" The small little bot says "ahhhhh! There you are! Now we can truly begin. Well, I don't mean to say you are neccesary, engineer. But it would be less fun without the whole party." The slot that the engineer fell out of slides closed, and the bot goes on "So, Here's the drill. This maze is two miles thick around a clearing about, oh, a mile in diameter. If you reach the middle, and meet my demends, you can go home. Sounds simple, right? Well, there are catches involved. Much like this one!" A blood-curdling roar is heard from around a corner, and a huge hulking humanoid beast that towers over even Stern lumbers toward them from the shadows. "I'll let you all decide if you want to be eaten or not. But if you just die this would have all been for nothing! Remember you're entertaining me, that should do nicely to motivate you." He laughs maniacally as the bot morphs into a tiny robotic spider no bigger than a golf ball and crawls up the wall.
