Moment of truth.  Jack uses immobilization on the sentry, and Mordred tackles him.  Mordred should try to stab him with the knife (or at least press it against the guy), and clamp a hand over his mouth.  Those are more important than avoiding the sword, as a single sword wound can be healed, but we'd probably lose a fight against the entire camp.  Oh, and if Comrade appears, his action takes precedence over mine.

If the knife successfully contacts the sentry, it doesn't even use its affinity skill.  It just starts screaming louder than the sentry, in an effort to completely take control of them.


((Hopefully, the knife can use the sentry as its new host, so that I can stop puppeting Mordred.  I dislike how this has degraded to the point that I've essentially stolen a character.))

Check the corpses (excluding our living-impaired comrade) to see if they're dead. If they aren't, make them so by breaking necks and other such violent acts. Check to see if any have any of the following:
-clues to our mission: journals, reports, orders, maps, etc
-anything magical
-anything mechanical
-anything valueable

Double check the vine beast. Also, be wary of enemy reinforcements.

...I WOULD SUGGEST THAT YOU SUPPRESS YOUR MURDEROUS INSTINCTS, MY METAL CHUM. SURVIVORS COULD BE USEFUL.

Try again! If they're dead start looting, try and fine something to go with my gloves and armor, preferably some leggings or boots
the vergetation still clings to you, but in a minute of shalshindg yo umanage to get free, and stomp off to kick the sorcerer in the stomach. "This one's dead!" You shout, and yank off his boots. they are too large for you, and don't match anything you are wearing.

THAT WAS EASY.

Begin examining bodies. Check each one to make sure they're truly dead, and recover as many darts as I can.
You check the grey and the troll, then gather darts from your victims.  You come up short two darts. "These are dead."

The battle seems to be over now. Be as alive as a zombie can be.
You are covered in blue pain that you don't feel, and your body is thrashing about on its's own. your chest is caved in and you have no control over your limbs. "I'M NOT DEAD YET!" You shout. "I THINK I'M GETTING BETTER!" ... "I FEEL  HAPPY!" "Shut up you! You're not fooling anyone, you know!" shout's Terrance, looting the troll next to you. Anyway, you will suffer for tempdeadness, but are still undead, and could possibly be put into working order again for the rest of the mission, maybe.

Yep. the vine thingy is not dead. it is immobilized. as for loot. Hmm, I should think these things out sometimes.

the troll has a big heavy club and a nasty loincloth. Enjoy your prize.
The grey has a hardbound case containing several vials of unknown liquids, carefully secured, along with some compartments containing different spices, and a few needles, some small brushes, and a couple magnifying lenses. The grey's body is already starting to decompose, and is growing crystals on it's surface and beginning to twitch. Gross, but, according to your analysis, not a threat, except to hygiene.

The sorcerer has a rope ladder for some reason, a pair of silver pearl dice in a pouch, a spyglass, and a sack containing bread and cheese.

Between them, you loot ten silver and two hundred copper pieces. Must have been payday recently.

I am assuming that since everyone is looting, these are not all in Clunkers' possession. Arileht gets to the sorcerer first, Terrance to the grey, Clunkers to the troll and vine thingy.

Jack attempts to immobilize the sentry, but the attempt fails and the sentry becomes immediately alert to your presence. But, Mordred acts quicker than the sentry does and manages to tackle him to the ground, stabbing the knife into his side. Takeover action not implemented this turn - too many things had to happen all at once. But at least he didn't shout out.

You hear movement along the ridge.

Take the sorcerer's stuff all of it, and maybe strip a bit of vine off the vine beast and tie it around my ankle

Try to see if I can lift the troll club easily, just for curiositys sake.

Then walk over to the vine beast, but keep some distance. Try to search my data banks from my time with my former master for data of similar creatures to it, and attempt to establish some kind of communication, like I did with the goblins.

Jack casts immobilization again, and if he still has time, invisibly checks what's happening on the ridge.

Mordred leaves the knife embedded in the merc, and clamping a hand over his mouth, and the other over his sword hand.

Knife dominates the man.

Try to discern the purpose of the oils via Farseeing. Use my 2 rearmost tentacles to heft the trunk onto my back.

looks like no one objects, so they are yours

The club is a bit cumbersome, but you could wield it.
You wait a moment for thevinestone guy to respond, but it remains immobile. Perhaps you need to loosen the immobility a touch for it to communicate.

the vials and some of the other stuff reveals itself to be ingredients. You get a sense that it is for hostile enchantments generally. Thereseem no objections, so the case is yours.

After a bit of thrashing and noise, the knife manages to shut the guy down, and Mordred drags him under cover. Jack floats up to the ridge and follows another sentry, who continues on his route without alarm.

 put on wizard's clothing over armor. Pocket the rest of his stuff. Stab at the vineguy a bit and try and see what the wizard guy had on him. Then go move down the path those guys (the mercs) came from
(can we have an update on our inventories and status?))
