Jack sweated buckets as he pondered who to support. He could support the guys or he could support the girls. However, the guys consist of a newbie and an NPC. On the other hand, the other two were veterans. Jack sighed as he made up his mind and then he turned to the girls and said “I’m for the Attic”

“Perfect, Emily sneered and then she deployed her three shenfields and started running, following the line that pointed toward the attic. Spencer and Joshua could only give Jack looks for anger but they followed behind Emily. “We should follow the veteran, she knows what she is doing” Abigail tried to consul Jack but he ignored her and started running.

Finally after a while in the dark red hallway they came across a ladder that led upwards. “Spencer you’re first” Emily ordered and Spencer started to complain: “Why do I have to go first; I’m already following your choice so one of you three should go.” Emily gave him a death glare and then explained to him in a slow tone “You have yet to prove yourself to the team, if you want our support in other movies then go. Up. The. Ladder. Got it?”

Spencer opened and closed his mouth looking for something to retaliate but he just let out a groan and gripped the ladder tightly before climbing up. After a few seconds his head appeared from the hole in the ceiling and gave the all-clear signal. Emily released her shenfields and they flew up through the hole that Spencer had made before climbing up herself. Joshua and Abigail also climbed up. Jack took one look behind him before going up the ladder.

Once he was up the room became illuminated. All around were tables upon tables of blueprints and designs. Multiple statues stood tall around the room, rotating on a pedestal and observing the area as if keeping watch.

Welcome players to Daedalus’ Workshop:

Commencing the final trial: Survive and escape

After the message had finished flashing the nearest statue started to move. The humanoid statue creaked and stepped down from the pedestal, grabbing a pike from a nearby table and started to advance forward. “Spencer grab the blueprints and run” Emily said and she aimed her sniper at the automaton. The bullet passed through the automaton and the figure charged forward. Jack focused his mind and sent a force outward propelling the automaton backwards.

“Tsk, Greek monsters and their immunities toward common metals” Emily scoffed and looked around to find something. “Aren’t these automatons made from metals or wood? Why should the bullet not connect?” Abigail exclaimed and her Serpent went forward and attempted to crush the automaton but it was too weak.

“What we need is magical metals, however we don’t have a smith to craft them into bullets” Emily said “How about a sword?” Jack asked and scanned the workshop. The automaton that was knocked down slowly got up and further away more and more automatons were starting to activate.

Spencer rushed over his hands full of objects and dumped them onto a table nearby. “Guys I found some weapons, and blueprints.” On the table was a multitude of axes and awls. Each of them glowed a golden color despite being bronze.

Jack took an axe as did Spencer and Joshua. The awls went toward the girls and Emily attempted to take one apart and fit the shank into her sniper rifle. “Testing, clear” Emily exclaimed and fired the shank toward one of the automatons. A large spark and the automaton fell backwards going haywire before disintegrating into essence. “Abigail you protect me as I reload, Spencer and Joshua shall clear a way. If this is Daedalus’ Workshop, then to escape we need to find wings.”

The group grabbed their designated items and started to advance further into the workshop. The automatons creeping from all directions.
