The battlemech leaned up and followed the group, presumably in pursuit of his yet unseen spheroid foes. The pilot within checked sensor readings and found no such enemy of note as the mech "followed" at a very slow (slightly faster than the party) pace. Unfortunately, the school did not survive the encounter.

The loudspeaker clicked on as the pilot looked at the ravine. "This is a summoner chassis! You think a ravine will stop me?" The mech backed up, practically vanishing out of sight before charging forwards at great speed. Shortly before the mech would plummet into the ravine, massive jump jets fired from the mech's rear torso, thrusting the unit up in the air and easily over the ravine. The mech landed, the impact causing a boom and earthquake, as well as the swift demise of a half dozen unfortunate trees. The mech stood, twisting slightly, as though nothing had ever happened.
