A pair of the automatons open the doors at the far end of the hall, revealing a tiered rose garden, the stone benches dotted here and there ringing a large central clearing.

"Anda is still over there, I think," Tyche says, gesturing in the relevant direction. "Though I should warn you they are very leery of anything resembling surgical procedures. Anyway. I'll leave you to your organizing, if you wish."
