On the Trial Series 5/9

Along their journey, the party was witness to many unusual things, one of them being the unsettling machine-like person sleeping in a wooden crate. When they opened the box it immediately asked them if they would like to donate blood. No one in the party was interested and when they made to leave, the automaton followed them. It asked for their age, their weight, their blood type, and if they were registered organ donors.

Eventually, Myrl and her dog, Roxy, bravely lured the mechanical man into a narrow canyon. The other members of the party then rolled a massive bolder from a great height and pinned the unsettling robot to the canyon floor.

That night no one slept, for in the distance they could hear the automaton continuing to ask if they wanted to donate blood.
