Titles: [Construct], [Order-Keeper] - #bc8dbf

The machine’s attention was temporarily drawn to what looked like to be ancient drawings of a forgotten time. [color=bc8dbf]“These seem to be organic representations of a people’s history.”[/color] The crimson lenses sparkled under the torchlight. If there was any interest in the drawings and markings by Von Mackenstein, its mechanical face allowed for no expression of it. It wondered how dirty would its breathing-filters be at the end of this incursion. [color=bc8dbf]“Unidentified language logged for further study.”[/color] It remarked, looking at the writings on the door, committing it to memory as it performed a brief analysis of it. [b][Action 1][/b]

[color=bc8dbf]“Enter-Risk-Curse?”[/color] It repeated the words first pronounced by [b]AnoYi[/b], considering something for a moment. [color=bc8dbf]“If the statues are renegades ready to strike us, we could launch a probing attack from where we stand. However, we would risk losing the element of surprise if we are wrong.”[/color] It shook his head at the very own considerations that had been weighted by its processor. [color=bc8dbf]“For now, there is value in remaining covert.”[/color]

It slowly turned its attention to [b]Alaerin[/b], assessing what was being proposed. [color=bc8dbf]“That would allow us to ‘test the waters’ and see if there is any ambush prepared up-ahead. Deviants often time engage in guerrilla tactics, the cowards.”[/color] It clicked its non-existent tongue, finally nodding. [color=bc8dbf]“Very well, four of my units, moving in pairs, will accompany you, giving you cover from a few paces of distance. If anything is amiss, they will engage immediately.”[/color] Turning towards the Line Fusiliers, it gave the orders quickly, in analog, that they should advance taking over against the statues, while following the human swordsman. [Action 2]

Then pointing, at the one holding the torch, it pointed at itself. The order was simple: Von Mackstein was also going to advance, and the torch-holding construct was supposed to follow it. [Action 3]

Actions:
1 - Appraisal F on the ancient writings of the door
2 - Order the four armed Line Fusiliers to follow behind Alaerin, taking cover and also providing cover for him
3 - Order the torch-holding Line Fusilier to keep close to Von Mackstein
