Cheshire Silvanshee |
Cheshire looks to Variel, "I believe you said something about providing light."
"Maybe the mechanism for the door is elsewhere." He points down the hall through the door.
Variel Nightstorm |
Variel smiles at the gnome, Indeed I did and you have it. I can only provide one source at a time though and it lasts for only 10 minutes. I am able to refresh it constantly if you need.
Variel has cast light since we got in here. If you want it in a specific location just assume Variel acquiesces.
Cheshire Silvanshee |
Cheshire sticks his head through the hatch looking on the opposite side for a control mechanism. "Flynn do you think there might be a way to open and close the doorway on this side."
Its actually the same square on the map he is already in just leaning forward and looking at either side of the door.
perception: 1d20 + 1 ⇒ (13) + 1 = 14
Cheshire Silvanshee |
Cheshire smirks, "Yeah like I figged. There is some sort of control over here. It looks broke though."
Variel Nightstorm |
Variel looks on getting a bit impatient. Do you wish me to enter first and have you follow? If so I will bring the light in and make sure the place is safe.
If Flynn or Cheshire don't step in then Variel will and move to the next door for Cheshire and Flynn to examine.
Cheshire Silvanshee |
Cheshire steps through and motions to Variel to follow, "Sorry."
Cheshire looks at the broken glass, and the rectangle closely.
knowledge Engineering: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (15) + 8 = 23
Cheshire Silvanshee |
Cheshire examined and probed the glass plate; but he has little confidence he can make it work, much less fix it.
Cheshire drones on uselessly, "Yeah just as I thought no fixing this."
Lilly Peregrine |
Lilly shrugs, not particularly interested in whether or not the contraption worked. Truth be told, the folks around this area put too much stock in gadgets and whirligigs. Things like that tended to break down on you, or fail. Or worse.
The warpriestess proceeds forth, near the front of the group, longsword drawn with a soft sound of metal on leather. "Let's move on. Even though our quarry is likely long dead, we must do our best to determine their fate."
DM-Camris |
There is a rattle of falling rubble as a shape rises up from the southern pile. A couple of lights shine forth like the eyes of a dragon on Cheshire, Flynn and Lily.
A medley of chirps and whistles erupted from the figure, which then turned into the barking of a human voice shouting something obviously threatening.
HALT! VANDALISM IS AGAINST THE LAW! YOU WILL BE DETAINED IN THE BRIG UNTIL YOUR PUNISHMENT IS DETERMINED AT THE CAPTAIN'S MAST!
HALT! VANDALISM IS AGAINST THE LAW! YOU WILL BE DETAINED IN THE BRIG UNTIL YOUR PUNISHMENT IS DETERMINED AT THE CAPTAIN'S MAST!
(repeats)
The thing stepped forward on three spindly legs, and you are able to see that it is much like the thing you fought at the foundry, that metal golem thing; only this one is not damaged.
DM-Camris |
Notorious Flynn Ryder |
"Oh shit, its one of . . . of . . . those things! This one isn't banged up. anyone know what the hell its saying?"
"Aw screw it. CHARGE!"
"Stab it in the metal string . . . gut stuff!"
1d20 + 5 ⇒ (18) + 5 = 23
1d20 + 5 ⇒ (19) + 5 = 24
2d6 + 2 ⇒ (6, 6) + 2 = 14
DM-Camris |
Flynn leapt forward, his assault punching holes in the torso of the golem and yielding a couple of sparks as something sizzled inside it.
Left free, the portal clicked and dropped down like a guillotine in front of Rhaym, Celest and Fuzzle's surprised faces; only to be stopped from closing entirely by the same block of rubble as before. Variel is almost bisected as only a chance step forward allows the door to strip his cloak from his back instead.
Variel's broke cloak pin *pings* as it hits the hard flooring here.
Celest Slysword |
If there's space: Celest drops prone and rolls under the door coming up with her knife on the other side. Coming up in front of Flynn (D6).
Variel Nightstorm |
Varied steps forward as well to the far side of Flynn (assuming Flynn is going to E,6) ending up in F,6. Once there he swiftly stabs with his rapier much like Flynn. Before he strikes though Variel sends a small portion of his power into his blade making it all the more deadly.
Move action to F,6
Swift action imbue weapon
Standard Rapier attack 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (10) + 4 = 14 for 1d6 + 4 ⇒ (3) + 4 = 7
Variel's attack was much less focused than Flynn's. Clearly Flynn having fought one of these before knew the nuances of its movements to get in such a precise blow. Variel would have to rectify that quickly if he was to not make a fool of himself down here.
Lilly Peregrine |
Seeing the robotic thing emerge and start clamoring about, Lilly's brow sets in determination as her legs start pumping, taking her within the creature's reach as she swings her newly purchased weapon at the mechanical monstrosity. Unfortunately, the clanging of the portcullis seriously distracts her, and she nearly trips over her own feet as she glances back to see what happened.
Longsword, Robot Slayer, Charge: 1d20 + 4 + 1 + 2 ⇒ (1) + 4 + 1 + 2 = 8
Cheshire Silvanshee |
Cheshire yells out, "Fuzzles"sick'em."
Cheshire moves swiftly a mad scramble of graceless but swift action. He goes at the robot bare handed swinging wildly. As he moves he lets out a very un-gnomelike sound some sort of guttural hissing rumble.
Move action Acrobatics move to G8 into flanking with Celest.

Fuzzles roars and surges forth and moves in on the monstrosity trying to get next to Cheshire.
Not sure if there is room around the robot. Variel is at F6, Celest is at D6, Lily and Flynn are also around. I think there is still room at either F8, E8 & E7.

Round 1_____________
Notorious Flynn Ryder¬¬¬¬¬¬_____
"Aw screw it. CHARGE!"
Flynn leapt forward, his assault punching holes in the torso of the golem and yielding a couple of sparks as something sizzled inside it.
Left free, the portal clicked and dropped down like a guillotine in front of Rhaym, Celest and Fuzzle's surprised faces; only to be stopped from closing entirely by the same block of rubble as before. Variel is almost bisected as only a chance step forward allows the door to strip his cloak from his back instead.
Variel's broke cloak pin *pings* as it hits the hard flooring here.
Celest Slysword_____
If there's space… There is no space.
Variel Nightstorm¬¬¬¬¬_____
Varied steps forward as well to the far side of Flynn (assuming Flynn is going to E,6) ending up in F,6. Once there he swiftly stabs with his rapier much like Flynn. Before he strikes though Variel sends a small portion of his power into his blade making it all the more deadly.
But his blade skittered off the metallic shell of the construct.
Lilly Peregrine_____
Seeing the robotic thing emerge and start clamoring about, Lilly's brow sets in determination as her legs start pumping, taking her within the creature's reach as she swings her newly purchased weapon at the mechanical monstrosity.
Unfortunately, the clanging of the portcullis seriously distracts her, and she nearly trips over her own feet as she glances back to see what happened.
Cheshire Silvanshee_____
Cheshire yells out, "Fuzzles"sick'em."
Cheshire moves swiftly a mad scramble of graceless but swift action. He goes at the robot bare handed swinging wildly. As he moves he lets out a very un-gnomelike sound some sort of guttural hissing rumble.
Move action Acrobatics move to G8 into flanking with Celest.
One of the flailing appendiges swung at Cheshire as he moved.
AoO: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (2) + 6 = 8 [ooc]But it missed.
Once in position, Cheshire’s punch is true, but the metal shell seemed to absorb all the force he put into it.
Fuzzles roars and surges forth and moves in on the monstrosity trying to get next to Cheshire.
But all Fuzzles could do was scrabble at the door uselessly.
Doctor Rhaym____________
Doctor Rhaym, surprised by the door slamming down in his face, pounded at it nonsensically until he recovered his reason and reached down to pull it up. With some difficulty, the door raised up slowly.
Celest Slysword__________
When the door came up far enough…
…Celest drops prone and rolls under the door coming up with her knife on the other side. Coming up in front of Flynn (D6).
Cheshire______
When the door came up far enough…
Fuzzles squeezed under the door and moved up to the metal creature, but his claws and bite are unable to find purchase on its metal skin.
Enemies_________________
One of the appendages with a crescent wrench fist swung at Flynn.
Slam attack: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (2) + 6 = 8 for a possible 1d4 + 6 ⇒ (1) + 6 = 7 damage.
A bulbous tube popped up out of the torso and turned towards Celest. A grayish wad was spat out with a *Whumph*, expanding into a five foot by five foot grey and flexible mesh.
Entangle attack: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (11) + 4 = 15 Hit!
The mesh wrapped Celest around, Grappling her in place.
You see some of Flynn’s damage slowly close together.
Repair Drone: 33

Fast Heal 2
DM-Camris |
Variel Nightstorm |
Variel readies to attack after Fuzzles in case he is granted a flank.
Attack 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (20) + 4 = 24 +2 if flank for 1d6 + 4 ⇒ (1) + 4 = 5
Crit confirm 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (13) + 4 = 17 +2 if flank for 1d6 + 4 ⇒ (6) + 4 = 10
Variel finds a weak spot in the armored thing finding a purchase with his rapier. Hopefully he hit the small metal string things that Flynn mentioned.
Cheshire Silvanshee |
A look of frustration Cheshire changes tactics. He calls out, "Fuzzles close to me."
Handle animal: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (10) + 6 = 16
Trying to get Fuzzles to make room. A five foot step to let Celest in would be the goal.
After which Cheshire seeks an opportunity to frustrate the robot giving Flynn an opportunity to strike.
Cheshire uses Aid Another to give Flynn some help.
Aid Another (attack against AC 10): 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (10) + 5 = 15
Lilly Peregrine |
Not sure how I'm so far away from the creature, but if I can get close enough to attack, this is what I do.
Longsword: 1d20 + 4 + 1 ⇒ (3) + 4 + 1 = 8
Damage: 1d8 + 3 ⇒ (2) + 3 = 5
Lilly steps up behind Flynn, touching his shoulder lightly as she calls upon her matron. Iomedae's grace flows into the roguish fellow, and he seems to feel he understands the nature of the battle better, able to anticipate the attacks and defenses of the monstrosity they are facing with a higher degree of accuracy.
Use War Mind Blessing.
Notorious Flynn Ryder |
"This this is healing like a troll! Any ideas clockwork dude? Keep pressing it and Variel watch out for the spinning tentacle attack thing!"
Flynn dive and dodges before lunging in to strike.
1d20 + 3 + 2 ⇒ (14) + 3 + 2 = 19
1d6 + 1 ⇒ (4) + 1 = 5
Guessing it can be surprise striked or critted, but anyways.
1d6 ⇒ 4
"Lily, this is probably not the best thing to ask at this exact moment, but have you ever considered trying out a greatsword or a claymore? Longswords just aren't right for some people you know? and two hands might help with control making it easier to hit your target. Don't kill the messanger, just popped into my head, you know? Just sayin."
Cheshire Silvanshee |
It is flanked for you too Flynn.
Lilly Peregrine |
Keeping her tone neutral, Lilly responds to Flynn, "Aye, it seems I need a bit more practice with the longsword, tis true. But Iomedae favors the longsword. And if I used a two-handed weapon, I wouldn't have a shield to interpose between myself and my enemy."
Celest Slysword |
"I thought your god was your shield?" Celest says from the metal creature's coiled grip, being careful not to utter the goddess' name lest Iomedae take notice of her.
Celest Slysword |
Um, wiggle wiggle.
DM-Camris |
Round 2___________
Variel Nightstorm_____
Variel finds a weak spot in the armored thing finding a purchase with his rapier. Hopefully he hit the small metal string things that Flynn mentioned.
His rapier struck deep, and sparks flew from the wound.
Celest Slysword _____
Celest, finding herself unable to break out of the netting, realized that it had some flexibility and carefully wriggled herself out of the entangling fibers.
Cheshire Silvanshee_____
A look of frustration Cheshire changes tactics. He calls out, "Fuzzles close to me."
Fuzzles shifted closer to Cheshire.
Cheshire uses Aid Another to give Flynn some help.
He succeeds, giving Flynn a bonus to attack.
Lilly Peregrine_____
Lilly closes with the mechanical contraption, her brow furrowed in righteous fury. She had hated these kinds of things since she could remember, and they always seemed to reinforce why she hated them whenever she started to forget.
Her longsword skittered off the metallic shell of the creature.
Notorious Flynn Ryder_____
Flynn dive and dodges before lunging in to strike.
With difficulty, Flynn managed to dig through the outer skin to do some damage inside it.
Rhaym_____
Grunting with the effort, Rhaym slung the door up high enough for him to roll through, then reaching out and snatching his black bag through before the door came down like a guillotine.
Enemy__________
The creature’s skin slowly reformed over Flynn’s damage, leaving only a scar where it had been.
One of the appendages with a whirring tip approached Flynn’s face with an ear splitting screech.
Slam attack: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (10) + 6 = 16 for a possible 1d4 + 6 ⇒ (3) + 6 = 9 damage.
A bulbous tube popped up out of the torso and turned towards Variel. A grayish wad was spat out with a *Whumph*, expanding into a five foot by five foot grey and flexible mesh.
Entangle attack: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (11) + 4 = 15 Miss.
The mesh hit, but just missed wrapping Variel around, and he is able to spin free.

Celest Slysword |
Thank Hanspur for a good initiative. Celest promptly delays. She's waiting for Flynn (or anyone else) to get out of the way and let a real rogue take a shot at the robot.
Variel Nightstorm |
Seeing Celest out of the fight Variel tries for a change of tactics. Flynn, once I attack I will step out of the way. Shift to my location so Celest can get in. We rotate back again so we can all attack.
Magic rapier attack 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (7) + 6 = 13 for 1d6 + 4 ⇒ (6) + 4 = 10
5ft up
Lilly Peregrine |
Brow knitting together as she grows steadily more frustrated, Lilly again attacks the hated abomination.
Longsword: 1d20 + 4 + 1 ⇒ (8) + 4 + 1 = 13
Damage: 1d8 + 3 + 1 ⇒ (7) + 3 + 1 = 11
Sheesh...Iomedae must be pissed.
Cheshire Silvanshee |
Fuzzles continues his attacks.
He is flanking with Variel/Celest
Claw 1: 1d20 + 2 + 2 ⇒ (15) + 2 + 2 = 19
Claw 2: 1d20 + 2 + 2 ⇒ (3) + 2 + 2 = 7
Bite: 1d20 + 2 + 2 ⇒ (2) + 2 + 2 = 6
Claw 1 Damage: 1d4 + 1 ⇒ (1) + 1 = 2
Poor Kitty Cheshire continues to aid Flynn.
Aid Another: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (12) + 5 = 17
Make it good Flynn.
Notorious Flynn Ryder |
"Dance, jive, step, whatever! Knit a codpiece for all I care, we've gotta connect with this thing! Why is it I seem to be the best fighter in this outfit?! Which is sad, because I was supposed to be the box man!"
Aid and flank: 1d20 + 3 + 2 + 2 ⇒ (15) + 3 + 2 + 2 = 22
Damage Rapier: 1d6 + 1 ⇒ (5) + 1 = 6
Flynn strikes and moves as suggested by Variel.
"I was in a good spot Celest, better make it count. Let's see how that dagger does for a frontline weapon."
"Lily, how about some divine intervention!"
The dice roller in this campaign have a great sense of humor.
Celest Slysword |
dagger (flanking, robot slayer): 1d20 + 5 + 2 + 1 ⇒ (9) + 5 + 2 + 1 = 17 damage (sneak attack): 1d4 + 2 + 1d6 ⇒ (2) + 2 + (5) = 9
"I'll put you in a box if you don't shut up!"
Celest Slysword |
So plants, undead, etc... are now fair game. Which is good considering you aren't using a good, solid dagger like some people I know.

Round 3___________
Celest Slysword_____
Celest promptly delays
Variel Nightstorm_____
Variel’s rapier skipped off the creatures metallic shell, then he stood back.
Lilly Peregrine_____
Brow knitting together as she grows steadily more frustrated, Lilly again attacks the hated abomination.
Lilly’s attack also skittered off the metallic hide of the creature.
Cheshire Silvanshee_____
Fuzzles continues his attacks.
One claw hit solidly, but the other claw and bite bounced off the creatures’ hide. Unfortunately, the metallic shell absorbed the entirety of the big cat’s hit.
Cheshire’s aiding of Flynn is rather more successful.
Notorious Flynn Ryder________
Flynn landed a solid hit, penetrating its metallic hide.
Celest Slysword_____
[ooc]Celest also put a decent hit on the creature.
Rhaym___________
Not seeing a safe place to attack from, Rhaym hoarded his potions and passed for now.
Enemies_________________
The creature’s skin slowly reforms over your, leaving only a scar where it had been.
One of the appendages with a blunt hammer tip approached Celest’s face with “whoosh”!
Slam attack: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (8) + 6 = 14 for a possible 1d4 + 6 ⇒ (1) + 6 = 7 damage.
A bulbous tube popped up out of the torso and turned towards Cheshire. A grayish wad was spat out with a *Whumph*, expanding into a five foot by five foot grey and flexible mesh.

The hammer's wake blows Celest hair back from her face. She ducks low and stabs with her knife before rolling back. Ends up in E5.
STAB! (with flank and robot slayer): 1d20 + 5 + 2 + 1 ⇒ (6) + 5 + 2 + 1 = 14 damage: 1d4 + 2 + 1d6 ⇒ (1) + 2 + (4) = 7
Cheshire Silvanshee |
Cheshire smiles wickedly seeing Flynn's strike doing more damage. He's not useless. Also Variel and the hysterical woman are working in tandem as well. This might be a proper clowder.
Cheshire continues to aid Flynn
Aid Another: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (10) + 5 = 15
claw 1: 1d20 + 2 + 2 ⇒ (8) + 2 + 2 = 12

Lilly Peregrine |
Lilly grimaces in frustration. Seeing that Celest and Flynn seem to be having better luck with this particular foe, she steps behind Flynn and calls upon a portion of Iomedae's grace, giving him keen insight into their foe.
War Mind on Flynn, for 10 rounds.
Variel Whitestorm |
Stepping up to where Celest just left Variel brings his rapier down hoping to damage the thing before it has a chance to heal itself too much.
+1 rapier attack 1d20 + 4 + 2 ⇒ (18) + 4 + 2 = 24 for 1d6 + 4 ⇒ (5) + 4 = 9
threat confirm 1d20 + 4 + 2 ⇒ (2) + 4 + 2 = 8 for 1d6 + 4 ⇒ (1) + 4 = 5
Variel is able to find a purchase but not as great as the prior successful hit. Still the attacks are mounting and soon ths thing must be destroyed. Anyone know how to keep this thing from healing itself or how to bypass its armor?
knowledge check to find its weakness?
