Hunting the Arch Magus pt. 4 Report

General Summary

The Scions fought through more of Orren Wren's twisted creations and eventually found their way to his secret lab. Wren offered a tantalizing piece of information: he knows the whereabouts of the necromancer the party is looking for, but wants Bonesaw in exchange for information. When the party refuses, Orren Wren and his killer robots attack.
In the middle of the fight the stone given to Rayuuv by Chandrilla glows, he holds it aloft and sets off an anti-magic bomb. This paralyzes Wren and his creations, and gives the party enough time to destroy Wren's twisted combat armor. He ejects from the armor, bloodied and burning, but his life is saved by Mork.
Rayuuv realizes he can use the soul transfer equipment to power up one piece of gear, or use Angus to overload the equipment and destroy it. The party asks Angus what he'd like, and he volunteers to sacrifice himself for the greater good. After saying goodbye to his friends, he activates himself in the transfer machine, overloading the equipment and destroying himself in the process.
Orren Wren taunts the party for their morals, and dares them to show their moral superiority by tempting them to loot his vault. The party obliges - finding quite a bit of treasture - and now has to decide Orren Wren's fate. Should they turn him over to Chandrilla, Dralin, or maybe Bonesaw? They'll have to decide.
