Initial Text
You come across a new Midgard drone. It seems almost custom built for this task, endlessly carrying rocks from the pit back towards to the rim.
It moves a bit slower than a human, but it certainly isn't a slouch when it comes to breaking down rocks.
Summary of Choices
- Help it out - gain 4 XP in Perception and Strength, enhanced with mining weapon
- Attack it - fight Burrowing Drone
- Topple rocks on it - gain 4 XP in Perception and Strength, slows down mining
- Leave it to digging - Walk away
Choice Text and Results
Help it out
You follow it, grabbing chunks of rubble as it reduces them into pieces small enough to carry.
You've earned 4 XP in Perception
You've earned 4 XP in Strength
Or with mining pick:
You help out, following it around and laying into things with your pick. You're not quite as fast as the drone at breaking things up but, together, you're making good time.
You've earned 6 XP in Strength
Or with digging arm:
You help out, learning the ins and outs of your new digging arm. You're not as good with it as the drone but, together, you're making good time.
You've earned 6 XP in Perception
Attack it
The drone seems confused, reorienting its head several times as you approach it, but eventually starts striking back with its digging arm.
(Fight: Burrowing Drone)
Topple rocks on it
You dislodge a pile of rubbler higher in the dig, burying the drone from sight. Well, even if you didn't crush it, it should take a while for it to burrow its way back out.
You've earned 4 XP in Perception
You've earned 4 XP in Strength
Leave it to digging
Yeah, it's doing a fine job by itself, no reason to get in its way.
