Rayya struggles under Mormont&#8217;s mind control as he debates to which faction he wants to sell out Miria. An unfortunate communication and a careless intruder cause danger to awaken on every side. Making escape seem increasingly more perilous by the second.

<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Combat Automaton</h2>



These robots are proficient with all manner of weapons. They are built to show off the Gorums&#8217; combat prowess, but in an emergency, can ramp up to a suppression mode to contain them instead.



Combat Automaton: HD: 3; AC: 4 [15]; Att: weapon or 2 electric fist (d6 plus stun); SV: 15; Special: shock; MV: 9; AL: Neutrality; CL/XP: 3/60



<ul class="wp-block-list">
<li>Shock: A creature hit by an electric fist attack must make a save or lose its action next round.</li>
</ul>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">The Map of Yanghu&#8217;s Gorum Showroom</h2>

<ol class="wp-block-list">
<li>Tech Room & Entrance: Alien Communications tech, window overlooking 3, high-tech medkit. Mormot has an encampment here. As is Miria&#8217;s gear and Olan&#8217;s sword.</li>



<li>Cryo Chamber: Each dot represents a cluster of 3 pods. There is a hole entrance in the bottom right corner. A total of 48 Gorum are kept here in stasis. Any damage to a pod will automatically cause the Gorum to be revived.</li>



<li>Demonstration Arena: Open, lots of drains on the floors.</li>



<li>Robot Room: Contains 3 Combat Automatons, swords, laser rifles, plasma pistols, and neural maces. I will use hacking rules derived from White Star: Swords & Wizardry in Space for any actions related to the robots.</li>



<li>Lounge: Doors locked; Mormont has never been in this room. Contains 5,000gp in pressed bars and a decanter of endless water (treasure rolled randomly.)</li>
</ol>



All doors in this dungeon are nanolaced titanium with crystal windows, they are hard to smash but their pistons are weak and can be broken. A character familiar with starship and space habitat systems can attempt to hack the door with a 2-in-6 chance of success.
