Eventually, a large manor could be seen in the distance. As the group approached it, the drone spotted something. "Ah, there's Turner!" The drone flew over to a large robot lying on the ground. There were vines growing around him, bringing his metal body into the earth where he belonged. "It looks like he was struck by lightning," the drone said, analyzing a peculiar burn mark on the robot's shell. The drone began cutting away at some vines with some small saws attached to it. "Would someone please help me get him up?"

Gyx walked to the metal man, and tried picking him up. It moved a little bit, but not much at all. The crab stopped waving a knife at Meritursas, crawled down Gyx's leg, and held the whole thing up with it's claws. Crab was hidden from the others view, and so it looked like Gyx was the one lifting it.

"Ah, thank you!" The drone said as Turner was raised to his feet. It did a little bit of tinkering with some electrical parts and suddenly the robot puffed out steam and started working. The drone lodged into a slot made for it in Turner's back, for it was simply a maintenance drone and Turner was the more capable one.

"SYSTEMS REBOOTING..." The drone transferred all its knowledge of what's going on to Turner. "Ah, so it appears as if we have some visitors to Lord Lyle Ashby's estate! You all must be exhausted from your days at sea. Please, come inside and I shall assist you with food and lodgings, eh?" The AI on Turner was almost human-like and he had a very proper voice, although distorted.

Turner led everybody to the manor, a large nice place to simply put it. As everyone entered, it was noticeably dusty and none of the lights were on. Turner flipped a light switch on and off but to no avail. Instead, he went around lighting candles with a lighter attachment built into him. "Would anyone like some tea or coffee? How about some dry clothes? I'm sure Lord Lyle Ashby won't mind giving away some things for now."

 

Spoiler

Imagine his voice being like the main singer dude in this video.

Also, inspired by Zeklo, I made a crappy pixel drawing of Turner.

Meritursas flops off Gyx's shoulder and onto the floor, splattering it with saltwater.  He looks around; he has never been in a place like this.

@MenaAthena, @Youknowwho: Kate, Kade and Noctimus.

(I'm not very proud of this one, I tried to make her clothes seem baggy but it just made the proportions look off.)

(*thumbs up*)

At first Kate had been more curious of the metal heep, observing from a distance as it was moved; then it turned on, spewing steam and clanking and grinding and speaking in a weird, distorted voice. She spent the trip up to the mansion cowering behind Kade, who seemed more impassive, yet still protective. When inside the mansion she continued to stand fearfully behind her brother and just watched the huge clanking robot.

"Any particular brew sir?" Turner asked the yelling coffee man. The robot acknowledged Famen's request and started preparing his French Vanilla Coffee. "We also have alcohol, if you prefer not to be awake the rest of the night and get some sleep instead." 

Wiffleball wandered around the room, looking from wall to wall as he took in the sights. It had been a while since he'd been in a house, and even though this one was much fancier, it felt a whole lot less lively than what he was used to. Hollow, even. He walked over to Noctimus, then began to pet the tiny shadow, hoping to reassure it. When Noctimus had calmed down enough to stop trembling, Wiffleball gently picked it up, then placed it into the hood of his coat before returning to the group.

(Just carry Wheke?)

"Thanks, but I don't drink." Famen said, accepting the coffee cup and taking a sip. Ah, bliss. "So, Turner was it? How long has this mansion been around? Seems a bit...strange to build in the middle of a deserted island."
