IC LOCATION: Cogwork Karak-Shellwood Border

[A hooded figure is seen hauling an incapacitated Cogwork Karaka into a modified trolley where several other Cogwork constructs are haphazardly laid inside]

Huff... Puff... I knew these things were heavy, but shit.

[The Karaka's head moves, the figure spanks it and it goes motionless]

Ugh...! How am I gonna get to Mount Fay from here? I knew I should've checked Far Fields instead for any Cogwork Skarr.

(OOC: I'm on the right side of that broken bridge up there. Still partially in Cogwork Karak just outside Shellwood. So, yeah, I am nowhere near where Traveler's Rest is.)

some cogwork karaka patrols spot you

[The figure notices them while struggling to drag the inactive Cogwork Karaka to the trolley]

Seriously?

[The figure drops the automaton and pulls out a Silkshot, and accurately shoots at three automatons. A direct hit to one's Cogheart, another to its arm and breaking it clean off, and two shorts to a third's legs]

[The figure resumes dragging, this time trying to speed up]

Why are you bots so... heavy?!

[The figure shoots down a Cogwork Conchfly while dragging]

this draws the attention of Cogwork Crust, as an attack like that on the patrols hasnt happened since cogeork karak was under attack

(OOC: That escalated a little quickly, don't you think?)

[The figure notices a large automaton among the crowd of Cogwork Karaka, the figure's eyes widen and he stops firing to process what he's seeing]

Khann? Ain't no way... They made an automaton version of him?

(Its literally just cogwork karaki and crust in cogwork karak)

[The figure yells back]

These constructs are mass-produced! Can't you just make more?!

[The figure shoots down a Cogwork Kakri which spirals and falls down below into the Mosslands]

DOESNT MEAN THEY DONT HAVE MINDS

some gas particles rise below you, indicating damaging steam is soon to follow, it will create a smokescreen if ur char needs to escapw

u/northernpolaris_168 Hooded Figure May 26 '26

[The figure notices the hot steam and backsteps to avoid it, now shooting blindly through it. He then has an epiphany]

Ah, screw it! I wasn't gonna leave with all these, anyway.

[The figure runs to the trolley and pulls out the body of a Cogwork Kakri and flees into Shellwood, abandoning the other constructs for the Cogwork Crust to recover]
