Adventure Guide
Machine Speakers maintain the Stonevault, a facility adjacent to their Hall of Awakening. Their former leader, Void Speaker Eirich, was recently deposed after becoming infected with Void corruption. While Machinists labor and loyalists patrol, Eirich hides behind his most fanatic and corrupted followers. Sequestered behind titan tunnels, he has undergone a terrifying transformation. To ensure he never ascends to power again, your swift intervention is required.
Encounters
Narrative
- Earthguard Approach
Upon entering the Stonevault:
- Dagran Thaurissan II says: So here we are. High Speaker Eirich... or is it just Eirich now?
- Dagran Thaurissan II says: He's fled from the Hall of Awakening into the Stonevault.
- Dagran Thaurissan II says: He's probably running like a frightened mouse. Wee, sleekit, cowering, timorous beastie!
The party can see earthen skardyn fighting against golems and robots.
- Central Processing
Upon clearing all the skardyn, golems, and robots from central processing:
- Dagran Thaurissan II says: What's this? Is that golem fused with something else?
- Dagran Thaurissan II says: Titanic earthen technology enhanced with magical augments... brilliant!
- E.D.N.A yells: Intruders approaching. Systems on.
E.D.N.A's description:
Defense protocols engaged! Earthen Defense and Neutralization Automaton is active. Informal nomenclature: E.D.N.A. This golem has contingencies for any potential intruder. Killing skardyn is its primary directive, but any unauthorized intruder is sufficient for a lethal response.
Encounter overview:
The Earthen Defense and Neutralization Automaton periodically targets players with its Refracting Beam, that inflicts damage to players and destroys Volatile Spikes within the effect.
Upon start of combat:
- E.D.N.A yells: Activating defense protocols.
During combat:
- E.D.N.A yells: Seismic protocol activated.
- E.D.N.A yells: Offensive measures engaged.
- E.D.N.A yells: Dominant intruder identified.
Upon defeat:
- E.D.N.A yells: All systems... shutting down...
- Dagran Thaurissan II says: Looks like the main door is locked. Either one of these paths should lead us to an access console.
The party can choose to go either to the Earthblood Crucible or the Singing Forge next.
- Earthblood Crucible
Upon entering the Earthblood Crucible the party can see Skarmorak.
- Dagran Thaurissan II says: A golem fused with skardyn corruption? Fascinating!
Skarmorak description:
The High Speaker spent countless years attempting to restore the Awakening Machine. One failed attempt resulted in a new horror: a golem infused with skardyn corruption. Crystals augment its elemental configuration. Though it barely communicates its alien mindset, its hatred for all creation is undeniable.
Encounter overview:
Skarmorak assaults players with Crystalline Smash forming 
[Crystal Shards]. Occasionally, Skarmorak unleashes Unstable Crash sending Unstable Fragments hurtling towards players. Upon depleting its energy, Skarmorak bolsters itself with Fortified Shell.
Upon start of combat:
- Skarmorak yells: Not us. Must kill.
During combat:
- Skarmorak yells: Fortify!
- Skarmorak yells: Lay waste!
- Singing Forge
Upon encountering Speaker Dorlita and Speaker Brokk in the Singing Forge:
- Dagran Thaurissan II says: Machine Speakers! In the Stonevault! Fanatically loyal, no doubt.
Master Machinists description:
Master Machinists focus on complex work at prestigious worksites. Brokk and Dorlita have worked as a team for as long as anyone can remember. Granted, Brokk's productivity is slipping, but both are authorized to defend their site with direct and efficient displays of violence.
Encounter overview:
Speakers Brokk and Dorlita unleash a calculated assault of metal and flame, using abilities like Molten Metal and Lava Cannon and even activating Exhaust Vents to fill the area with Flaming Scrap.
Brokk periodically uses Scrap Song to conjure and launch a Scrap Cube, which Dorlita then locks onto for an explosive Blazing Crescendo.
Upon start of combat:
- Speaker Brokk yells: Intruders detected! Defense protocols activated!
During combat:
- Speaker Brokk yells: Countermeasures on!
- Speaker Dorlita yells: Ignite!
- Speaker Brokk yells: Build it up!
- Speaker Dorlita yells: Incinerate!
Upon defeat:
- Speaker Dorlita yells: So much... left unbuilt...
- Speaker Brokk yells: I'm going to need... some personal time...
- Dagran Thaurissan II says: Look for another mine cart. If it's here, we might as well use it.
- Dagran Thaurissan II says: Unless you'd rather walk...
- Whispering Hall
The way to the Whispering Hall is now open. Upon seeing Void Speaker Eirich:
- Dagran Thaurissan II says: There he is. Look at him. Beyond saving.
- Dagran Thaurissan II says: That seems like poetic justice, but... let's finish this.
- Void Speaker Eirich yells: Mind... crystalline... infinite... Void!
- Void Speaker Eirich yells: Perfection... vision... overwhelm.
Void Speaker Eirich description:
Eirich has been deposed, his authority seized! Overwhelmed, he fled to the innermost sanctum of the Stonevault. Yet in his machinations, he succumbed to transformation: Void energy from a malfunctioning artifact corrupts his living stone! Mystical revelations now shatter his sanity.
Encounter overview:
Void Speaker Eirich begins the encounter by tearing open 2 Void Rift. Periodically, the Void Speaker will afflict players with 
[Void Corruption] which can only be removed by moving close to an active Void Rift.
Upon start of combat:
- Void Speaker Eirich yells: I am... You obey...
During combat:
- Void Speaker Eirich yells: Apotheosis!
- Void Speaker Eirich yells: Corruption consumes.
- Void Speaker Eirich yells: Entropy binds.
- Void Speaker Eirich yells: Feel disorder.
Upon defeat:
- Void Speaker Eirich yells: The mighty... have fallen...
- Dagran Thaurissan II says: The former High Speaker has been laid low. This is what justice feels like.
- Dagran Thaurissan II says: I can't wait to write about your discoveries. Well done, my friends.
