You go deeper into the tower coming across some sort of mechanized bipedal monster with some kind of wind-up key in it's back.

Arachne
The ninja examined the monster as she remained silent and hidden. 12 (Ef) in Thieving (Stealth) to remain out of sight.
9 in Intelligence potentially helped with Enhanced Vision 6 (See Auras and Magical Forces, See in Darkness, See into other dimensions) to figure out all I can about this thing.
Starting with, is it moving right now? It wasn't really clear in the description.

It's not moving yet, but it seems rigged to activate and start moving based on that key rigged to unlock and start spinning the second anything touches it.
It seems to be designed to destroy whatever tries to raid this room, and prevent whatever treasures are being in from being taken.
said treasures do not seem to be accessable or even visible without taking out the giant clockwork beast.

Arachne
The dark elf drew her rapier, which was specifically enchanted to destroy constructs such as what the machine seemed to be. She tried to sneak up to it without triggering it so she could try and destroy it in one blow. 16 (Ef) in Thieving (Stealth) +2 from the Shroud of the Many-Faced, into a 18 stones stealth attempt to get close to the machine. Please note her Darkstalker modifier typically forces creatures with supernatural/exceptional senses to overcome her stealth even if those senses would normally allow detection regardless of skill, in case it comes into play.

You sneak up right behind the machine.

Arachne
Now in a good position... Arachne went in for the kill! OOC: Rolled a 15 for a Critical Hit on my attack; got a 5; Critical Hit failed.
1 in PL for an action.
16 (Ef) in Thieving (Assassination) +2 from the Shroud, combined with...
16 (Ef) in Ninja (Agony, Fighting larger opponents, Using powers in combat) plus 6 from Agony, plus 13 from Sneak Attack into a 51 stones (3x damage VS Constructs/Undead) to destroy that thing.
9 (Ef) in Parkour into defense. (Total ph.defense: 20)

You stab the robot and in seconds he falls apart.

Arachne
"...Whew", she let out to herself as she sheathed her sword and began examining her surroundings to find the treasures that thing was guarded. 15 (Ef) in Thieving (Search room/area) to look for the treasure this thing was guarding.

Sure enough the walls lower revealing a dozen different treasure chests.

Arachne
Ever the careful one, Arachne proceeded to check the chests and their surroundings for traps or threats before she ever got to open them. 15 (Ef) in Thieving (Search area) to look for potential traps around the chests before I open the chests.
If they're not trapped, I'll proceed with opening them and checking out what's in them. If not, I'll work on disarming the traps next panel.

You open them finding many... many gold and jewels, along with high quality mythril weapons.

Arachne
The ninja elf proceeded to loot the entire treasure with the aid of her Bag of Holding. 8 in Agility to loot it all with my Bag of Holding to put it all away in its Hammerspace.

You clear out the chests when you fine something strange at the bottom of one of them.
a 5' bo staff with the six inches at each end ending in what seem to be a stack of gold coins fused together.

Arachne
"......"
The ninja/sorceress attempted to identify the staff's potential magical aura if any and figure out how it worked if it did have such powers. 12 (Ef) in General Knowledge (Occult lore) +6 from Enhanced Vision (See Auras and Magical Forces) to try and identify any magic on it.

You recgnize it as the Stick of Gelt. It has the power to transform any enemy it slays into a burst of coins.
Stick of Gelt: +5 melee weapon. Automatically deals 1/2 damage rounded up with attacks, but in return any enemy it kills is morphed into money.
