The session was great! Nova enjoyed it a lot (and despite being a bit tedious) it was an overall fun session lasting 5 hours! Here are the puzzles:

Soulbound: a steam pipe path, another room with the path, but the room with the path is slightly smaller so it’s hard to walk the path correctly to translate.

Password Cracking: Straight up fallout hacking

Lock-picking: Game of Mastermind (roll 4 d6 for the code, # instead of colours, 10 tries) 

5 switches (No. 5 needs to be up, all the rest need to drop) one separated on the right that drops all the other switches. Only opens when all other puzzles are complete.

A room filled with armour with quality dropped to 0 (unusable) from age. There is a bronze pedestal in the centre of the room, with a plaque saying “The hand of the victor opens the door”. On either side of the pedestal are 2 rings of light (5sq diameter) and in the centre of these rings are stationary clockwork display “arms” holding gauntlets engraved with a thin red gem. It’s glowing. Upon entering one of the circles, the display arms present the gauntlets to the bug, getting more and more aggressive until they put it on. Once a gauntlet is placed on, more clockwork arms erupt from behind the infinite armour racks, entrapping the bug in unmoving armour (at least it’s high quality though!) until the other bug bears the other gauntlet. The same thing happens to the other, but they are freed. Suddenly, armours from the walls come “alive” and step out. Now one must be a victor, of any kind, in any combat or game.

Aptonoth are large, herbivorous, scarab-like creatures somewhat related to the Stags used for urban transit. They can be found in most environments, save for volcanic areas, areas with extreme cold, and near the ocean.

They have two dual-pronged horns on their heads, and large elytron that cover their soft shell. Despite having the hard yet brittle forewings, Aptonoth are flightless, and their wings have evolved into a fan of sorts used solely by herd leaders in courtship and aggression displays.

This monster is typically timid, running away from threats rather than becoming aggressive. In remote and rural areas, Aptonoth are commonly seen bugs of burden.

Descended from a lesser Wyrm, Lynians are a diverse genus that are a staple of hunting culture. Their sapience and high intelligence set them apart from other small monsters, and Lynians can become high-ranking leaders in the Hunter's Guild, or legendary hunters/handlers. They are often grouped into two categories- Beastbugs and Felynes.
