So... we had *part* of a session of the GURPS game over at Lazar's, then I annoyed Sandy and she threw us out.
The party had decided to sleep in the giant robot, and after John passed out from his wounds there, they got to it. Don stayed up a little trying to figure out how the controls worked (there didn't seem to be any buttons or anything) but with no luck.
Kitten dreamed about losing his cat in a storm, and eventually got captured (in his dream) and absorbed by a giant thunderbird, which seemed to be controlling the weather. He cast a lot of spells in his dream...
John dreamed about being a bunny who wanted to be human, so that he'd stop having to hide it from his family. He decided to go find Charlie, and of course the first place to look was Hell. He didn't find him there, but did get a job torturing damned souls.
Don dreamed about being a weaponsmith in Hell, and being invited by Mr. Albion to come to heaven for better working conditions. Heaven sounded too low-tech, though, so he decided to stay in Hell (besides, all his friends were there).
In the morning, Kitten discovered that he'd actually been wildly casting spells in his sleep, as he found himself teleporting randomly all over the place, once a minute. Don discovered that he'd modified one of the control panels in his sleep so that it *did* have buttons and dials and stuff... although he was afraid to actually touch them. John looked out the window, and discovered that the robot was on the move again... chasing Kitten, of course.
Then, it fell off a cliff, back into the ravine where the weather totems were. The glass dome shattered, and while John and Don managed to mostly brace themselves for impact, they still got tossed around, and John fell unconscious again... then Don grabbed him and dragged him across the broken glass to get away from the slowly collapsing robot.
One of the robot's feet fell in the lake, and the entire lake instantly froze solid. Another smashed open against a cliff wall, and it started snowing. Then, the robot's body started glowing orange... and Don decided that dragging John even *farther* away would be a good idea, even if it meant tearing up his back more as he was dragged across the sharp frozen waves of the lake. He found a building on the other side that wasn't full of anything obviously deadly, and hid there with John, who'd somehow survived this ordeal.
Don spent some time healing John, and examining the harp-strings that seemed to play strange tunes by the wind inside the building. Experimentation revealed that touching the strings changed the tune, which changed the wind, which changed the tune more...
Meanwhile, Kitten was teleporting all over the place. Once, he even managed to teleport back near the party, although he bamfed again before he could actually see them. He stole some chicken eggs from an unknown building, frightened some small children, and then flew up into the air to get a closer look at the storm that always seemed to be on the horizon...

...and then we had to leave. Which was okay, because it wasn't really going so well anyway. }:/
