Seira methodically checks what's behind each door, even as she responds, Are we supposed to go up or down, actually?

The door to the north connects to a short hallway with several old boxes to the side, and beyond those is a door further north. What looks to be scrap metal can be glimpsed within.

The door to the east leads to a chamber full of stone statues, intact despite the heat. Thousands and thousands of them surely, all life sized gargoyle statues.

The door to the west leads to a room full of great, mountainous heaps of ruined scrap metal. Much of it rusted, iron all about this room, piles of it dozens of feet high to the ceiling.

<IronDragoon> I mean, why not?

Donald, what did our friend say, should we head up or down to reach our target?
<Steph> I might have made a terrible mistake

Anastasia

Up as much as we can. There's a lot of storage here, but the point is to head up.

Nodding, Seira takes a look at the room of gargoyle statues to see if it looks like they're just sleeping or there's a whole lot of art hidden here.

A look over the room suggests it's a lot of gargoyle statues. It's entirely possible there's things lost or hidden behind or within those great heaps of statues, admittedly. You'd have to move them to be sure.

Seira decides to clean this room out as well!

Statue after statue after statue moves.  AS they begin to, your sharp senses hear something. Namely, a moan from deep within one of the piles of them.

Letting her magic work on its own, Seira makes her way to the pile in question to take a closer look!

You peer in carefully. Within you can see a figure - one of gold and gears, of clockwork. It looks pinned beneath several statues, utterly unable to move.

Who are you? Seira asks the Inevitable.

A soft whirl of gears.

'I am...Marchos 231.'

What is your purpose, Marchos 231? What are you doing here?

'I was to investigate Imix. I failed. I am uncertain how long I have been trapped here. I am badly damaged, unable to recover or restore myself.'

I'll free you and see about restoring the worst of the damage. What were you investigating?
