Automatons, Attack!

It doesn't take long for the robots to notice the group. Gourd charges out to attack and goes into a rage. Abe accidentally hits Gourd missing it's target. Gourd then uses him (Abe) as weapon and swings him around like a log. He then grabs Sura and uses her as a great spear towards a larger enemy near the river bulkhead. After the attack, Gourd charges the big robot again and disappears into the oil/blood river. 

MoPuck instructs the group on how to navigate through the remaining buildings to get towards the ruins of his old tower. They rescue Gourd, and his now broken/ severed horn. They go through the painting portal.

They find that the Tinker Gnome "Sprock" in there. He reveals that these bots were all his invention!

Their next stop is in the Ethereal plane where they meet the "ghost" of Alexander Darkwood's protégé "Artimus".

They follow further breadcrumbs through the planes and wind up in Sigil. After some issues at the local pub, (Gourd threw a Centaur through a window), they make a "barter" for the tapestry on the wall of dead dragon", then head over to an abandoned warehouse that Abe knew of as a safehouse.

A storm comes through and a Ogre Mage plows through the door seeking refuge. His name is Gil and they all make friends and ride out the storm. Then a Mercykiller arrives with a warrant for Rasa's bounty from Diamond bed City. The combat is swift and executed perfectly. The Mercykiller never had a chance to get a hit off. The group asks if Gil wants to follow along with them on their journey and he agrees. 

Wurm creates a zombie out of the Mercykiller who still wields his Greens-steel full plate armor (with no smell!).

Strange bells ring in the streets of Sigil, but no immediate horrible things happen after the bells ring....
