IC-Ep 3-The Man of Steel(Everyone else)
Duc's Palace, Workshop - Vyones, Auvergne, France
9:20 PM - Monday, April 20, 1517
The automaton moved with lightning speed, its arms outstretched to grab Jean Luc...
Diego leapt out from behind the door to the hall shouting "Stop!" with his drawn sword in his hand.
Story ran toward the automaton, shouting "Leonardo! Tell him 'Down boy!' or something, quick!"
The door to the secret passage sprang open, and Elizabeth leapt out from her hiding place, shouting “Stop, they are friends!” She ran toward the automaton and put her hands up.

OOC: phew! Hard success! |
Re: IC-Ep 3-The Man of Steel(Everyone else)
Jean Luc raised his arms and deflected the automaton's attempt to grab him, so he remained free.
Diego rushed forward and interposed himself between the automaton and Jean Luc. "Stand down, he is no threat!" he called.

Re: IC-Ep 3-The Man of Steel(Everyone else)
JeanLuc dives back from the automaton, u sheathing his short short, eyes wide still in the shock at the sudden attack of the automaton. " YES! YES! I AM YOUR FRIEND!!" He shouts holding the sword up defensively, the puzzle box still in his other hand.
Re: IC-Ep 3-The Man of Steel(Everyone else)
Story, moving to stand next to him and guide him, but mostly keeping eyes on the Automation:
"JeanLuc, just place the box back on the table..."
"JeanLuc, just place the box back on the table..."

Confused Jean Luc looks at Story and nods towards the automaton. "Ok mon ami, I'm putting your little game on the table." as he slowly reaches his arm out and carefully places the puzzle box on the table.
Re: IC-Ep 3-The Man of Steel(Everyone else)
Elizabeth comes to a stop, breathless, hoping that dropping the box will avert disaster. She wonders why Jean Luc picked up the box in the first place, however.
Re: IC-Ep 3-The Man of Steel(Everyone else)
Putting the box down did not seem to mollify the automaton, and it began to try to circle around Diego to get at Jean Luc. Finally, Leonardo called: "Automaton, stop! Leave him alone!"
This finally produced results, and the automaton stopped. "I was doing what you said, Father," it said. "You said to seize and hold whoever stole the box."
"Yes, yes, I did, but he wasn't really stealing it. A thief wouldn't just take it in front of everyone, but would come in secret when nobody was around. He just wanted to look at it, I'm sure."

Re: IC-Ep 3-The Man of Steel(Everyone else)
" Yes! Yes! That is all! I was just curious! I've never seen anything quite like it!! I wasn't going to steal it!!" Jean Luc hurriedly says as he backs away from the table....and box.
Re: IC-Ep 3-The Man of Steel(Everyone else)
Jacques sheathes his sword again. "Has anyone made further discovery as to why Master Suit of Armour is alive and talking and threatening light-fingered idiots?"
Re: IC-Ep 3-The Man of Steel(Everyone else)
Elizabeth, relieved, says, "Strange as it may seem, I think that someone's soul has been trapped in the automaton, possibly by accident." She looks at Jean Luc,
"Why exactly did you pick the box up?"

Re: IC-Ep 3-The Man of Steel(Everyone else)
Casting a glance at Jacques "Light fingered yes, idiot....no." He says with a slight tilt of his head. Turning to face Elizabeth stroking his beard, "Why? Simply because i was curious, something about it was oddly compelling, i just had to have a closer look. I did not expect our metal friend to have such an adverse response. You'd have thought i was stealing its child!! What is so special about the box anyway?"
Re: IC-Ep 3-The Man of Steel(Everyone else)
Diego put his sword away too.
"Yes, I was thinking along the same lines," said Leonardo to Elizabeth. "The soul must have been contained in the crystal. But whose soul is it, and why does my...son not remember?" He nodded to Jean Luc. "The puzzle box is just a curiosity I created. I used it to contain the crystal, but it is empty now. It was bait for a trap, and it seems that you sprung it, Monsieur. Feel free to try to solve the box and open it if you like."

Re: IC-Ep 3-The Man of Steel(Everyone else)
Nervously Jean Luc picks up the box, one eye on the automaton, and half heartedly attempts to open the box before placing it quickly back down on the table in defeat, wary in case of another attack."The alure of the box has..er...somewhat wained...." He says shurugging his shoulders dismissively.
Re: IC-Ep 3-The Man of Steel(Everyone else)
“Maybe let Story have a go? She’s quite good with strange devices.” Elizabeth says with a small smile.
Re: IC-Ep 3-The Man of Steel(Everyone else)
"Of course," said Leonardo. "You're all welcome to try."

Re: IC-Ep 3-The Man of Steel(Everyone else)
Jean Luc hears bothing, still shaken from previous few moments.
Re: IC-Ep 3-The Man of Steel(Everyone else)
Jacques is busy frowning at Jean Luc and is not otherwise paying attention.
Re: IC-Ep 3-The Man of Steel(Everyone else)
Elizabeth catches Diego’s eye, blushes and is too distracted to hear anything.
Re: IC-Ep 3-The Man of Steel(Everyone else)
Story, starting to relax a little, smiles wryly at Elizabeth and begins to reach casually for the box...but her hand pauses, hovering a few inches above it as she cocks her head slightly to the left - her ears picking something up...
If she gets the chance to finger the box...
