Story 13 (daw crap)

Jim exits the crevice, and heads out the door.  He heads into the grassy room.  The floor is slightly caved in.  He identifies it as carnivorous grass.  Using the anchor as a makeshift shovel, he harvests several patches of grass.  Jim then clears a path through the grass to the cave in.  The temperature rises as he gets closer.  Getting to the edge of the cave in, he sees what looks like a small workshop, and it is really hot inside.  Jim climbs down into the workshop, and finds that the source of the intense heat is a pipe that has ruptured, and lava is pouring out of it, and flowing into a crack in the floor.  There are several tables, and various equipment scattered around the workshop.  Most of the mechanical equipment is hooked into the wall with the same type of piping that the lava is pouring out of.  On closer examination, the piping seems to be made out of a metal, but there is only slight heat escaping the pipe sides.  One could rest their hand on the pipe, and it would not burn.  There are 3 2'x2' sheets of the metal around the workshop.  The metal is extraordinarily strong, and even the golem cannot bend it.  The carnivorousness plants do not make any sort of mark on the metal.  Going back into the workshop, Jim finds a piece of equipment meant to shape objects via bending them.  He takes a sheet of the metal, and bends it into a half pipe design.  He gives the golem the metal, who brings it over to the pipe, and fits it on.  The lava holds it in place, and melts around it creating a seal.  Most of the machines around the workshop cycle once, then turn themselves off.  Now that the room is safe to look around in, Jim looks around the shop.  There is a small set of tools made from the same metal that the pipes were made out of.  Examining the machines again, they seem to be made to create, maintain, and salvage other machines or items.  Each wall seems to be dedicated to the task of one of those.  The fourth wall is covered in machines built to refine materials into others.  The room is covered in a thick black hardened coating.

  5. You already did, dude. Its sealed over where the few cracks were. There doesn't appear to be any way to open it.
