Guard A |

Leaving the unconscious guards underneath some bushes, the party catches up with the main squad, which stops short outside of a clearing. | |||
Captain |
Alright, leave the boxes here, and then we can get out. | ||
Guards |

Captain |
This forest gives me the creeps. | ||

 Constructs |
*Whirr... Whirr....* | ||
Several golem-like creatures emerge from the other side of the clearing and begin moving the goods. | |||
| Are those... Golems? | |||
| These are functional Constructs! How did they manage to repair them? But... Hmm... These don't seem decrepit like the ones we saw in the ruins. | |||
| Something's leaking out of one of the boxes! | |||
 Savage Wolf |
Grrrooowwwll... | ||
Construct |

 Lizardman |
SNARL!!! | ||
| Whoa, whoa. This is crazy. Monsters versus Constructs? What's in the box? | |||
| That liquid contains a high amount of Alchemia particles! | |||
| Wait... They were transporting the same substances as the ones we found in the ruins? | |||
| Highly probable and possible, yes. | |||
Construct |
*Whirr... Bzzzzz...* | ||

Savage Wolf |
Growl... | ||
| Looks like we're caught up in the crossfire. | |||
| Let's split up. Hopefully we can get them to attack each other instead. | |||
Later... | |||

*Whiirrrr...* | ||
| The Constructs don't seem to have taken much damage, but how do we stop them? | |||
Construct |
*Beep... Beep... Whirr...* | ||
| ... | |||
The Constructs retrieve the boxes and leave the area in an orderly fashion, ignoring Siegfried and the party entirely. | |||
| Hey, they just... left us alone. | |||
| You're telling me they're not ALL killer robots? That's new. Now if only they could install Pacifist Mode in all of the Constructs... | |||
| Well, now. That was quite a spectacle... Based on what we've just observed, I believe we can conclude two points thusly: One, the Constructs are powered with a more consistent source than the ones we have faced prior. And two, they appear to be operating under a sophisticated set of directives. It would explain why they left us in peace. Their main objective was to safeguard those supplies. | |||
| That makes a lot of sense. | |||
| We should follow them. I have a feeling they'll lead us where we want to go. | |||
