Round 2__________________
Cheshire Silvanshee______
Cheshire gives a command to Fuzzles who bounds the creature that has Lilly grappled.
The tiger's teeth ill suited for robot fighting do little.
Notorious Flynn Ryder______
"Alright here goes nothin!"
Flynn lets fly with the strange crossbow at the medical bot.
The launcher BLOOPS and bucks in Flynn’s hand. A fast moving rocket hissed out in a wobbling flight until it hit the medical bot and burst in a brilliant blue white glare, throwing intense light throughout the room and corridor.
Fort save DC12 or Dazzled.
"Its putting out the fire! This is harming it right?" It certainly adds to the fire, not putting it out. It is definitely harming the bot.
As you watch, it stopped spinning, vibrated sharply, then collapsed limply to the deck. The flares keep burning though.
Celest Slysword______
Celest wheels and ducks around to the robot's flank to strike at it while it is distracted.
dagger (feint-sneak attack, robot slayer, dazzled): 1d20 + 6 + 1 - 1 ⇒ (15) + 6 + 1 - 1 = 21 damage: 1d4 + 2 + 1d6 ⇒ (3) + 2 + (4) = 9
Cheshire Silvanshee______
Agonizing over choices, Cheshire dashed back to the door to the Medical Lab and hit the door opener with a keycard. After a pause it whooshed open vertically.
Doctor Rhaym______
Doctor Rhaym stepped forward, ready to heal if needed, but makes no offensive action.
(npc) Variel______
Variel cautiously fires another shot from his shortbow, but missed.
(npc)Lilly______
Lilly slams a dagger into the thing grappling her; you see a spark or two but no other effect.
ENEMIES________________
The flying bot attacked the grappled Lilly twice and backhanded Fuzzles.
Attack 1: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (14) + 5 = 19 Hit!
Attack 2: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (11) + 5 = 16 Hit!
CMB: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (9) + 5 = 14 Miss as Fuzzled dodged away.
At this point, you hear a gigantic WHOOOSH! Suddenly the Sick Bay is covered in a three foot mound of foam. You can see the flares flickering a dull red, but the glare and heat are gone.
Sick Bay is now Difficult Terrain.

Round 3_____________
Players take their turn in order of posting, enemies will go last.
TACTICAL OVERVIEW
Sick bay is Difficult Terrain due to waist deep fire suppressant foam now.
Cheshire Silvanshee |
Round 3
Cheshire runs back to the defeated med droid in the hopes of pulling off a useful rod or substantial piece.
Moving full speed.
Notorious Flynn Ryder |
"What the hell just happened?! Where did all the freaking whipped cream stuff come from?"
"Crap! Out of flame bolts for this thing . . . Ummmmmm. . . . Ah hell alright, here goes nothing!"
Flynn tries to bring down the flying drone by covering it with his bed roll.
Touch attack: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (13) + 4 = 17
DM-Camris |
Round 3_____________
Cheshire Silvanshee________
Cheshire runs back to the defeated med droid in the hopes of pulling off a useful rod or substantial piece. Moving full speed.
Ducking through the opening door, Cheshire grabs a leg armature close to the entranceway, then ran back out to where the party was gathered again.
Fuzzles jumped up out of the foam and onto a bed.
Notorious Flynn Ryder______
Flynn tries to bring down the flying drone by covering it with his bed roll.
But the flying bot deftly dodged the flung bedroll, and it fell into the foam.
(npc) Celest Slysword______
Celest backed out of the waist deep foam and onto a side desk.
(npc)Doctor Rhaym______
Doctor Rhaym was ready to heal if needed, but makes no offensive action.
(npc) Variel______
Variel fired another shot from his shortbow, and hit for moderate damage.
(npc)Lilly______
Lilly attacked with a dagger, but it bounced off the bots armor and she dropped it into the foam.
ENEMIES________________
The flying bot attacked the grappled Lilly twice and backhanded Fuzzles.
Attack 1: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (19) + 5 = 24 Hit! for 1d4 + 3 ⇒ (1) + 3 = 4
Attack 1: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (8) + 5 = 13 Miss.
CMB: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (9) + 5 = 14 Missed Fuzzles again.

Notorious Flynn Ryder |
"Well . . . That sucked."
Seeing himself in difficult terrain, Flynn launches his spear at the drone
"But, for my next trick---catch!"
1d20 + 5 ⇒ (14) + 5 = 19
1d6 + 1 ⇒ (6) + 1 = 7
Cheshire Silvanshee |
Cheshire looks about and at the metal in his hand. Seeing the mess on the floor he eclaims, "I leave for just a sec . . ."
He rushes forward and climbs up into the bed next to Fuzzles.
Between the foam and the climbing my guess is that is all I get this round.
Fuzzles again tries to aid Lilly.
Aid: 1d20 ⇒ 10
Celest Slysword |
"Try and move it closer to me!"

Round 4________________________
Notorious Flynn Ryder
"Well . . . That sucked."
Seeing himself in difficult terrain, Flynn launches his spear at the drone
"But, for my next trick---catch!"
Flynn’s spear was well thrown and struck the ‘bot squarely; but he could only look on as the spear bounced away, unable to penetrate the armor.
Cheshire Silvanshee______
Cheshire looks about and at the metal in his hand. Seeing the mess on the floor he eclaims, "I leave for just a sec . . ."
He rushes forward and climbs up into the bed next to Fuzzles.
Fuzzles again tries to aid Lilly.
Fuzzles scrambling attacks distracted the ‘bot’s attention away from Lily for a moment.
Celest Slysword______
"Try and move it closer to me!" She called out.
She readies an action.
(npc)Doctor Rhaym______
Doctor Rhaym was ready to heal if needed, but makes no offensive action.
(npc) Variel______
Variel fired another shot from his shortbow, but the arrow glanced away from the ‘bot’s armor.
(npc)Lily______
Lily tried to escape the ‘bot’s grip, but failed.
ENEMIES________________
The flying ‘bot aimed an underslung rod at Lily, which then glowed red briefly before emitting an earsplitting shriek. Lilly flinched, then sagged in the bot’s arms, unconscious.
The ‘bot’s arms opened up, and Lily fell into the foam and disappeared.
It whirled around and tried to bat Fuzzles away.
Arm Attack vs Fuzzles: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (6) + 5 = 11 but Fuzzles ducked out of the way.
Collector Robot:15
DM-Camris |
Cheshire Silvanshee |
Cheshire calls out to Fuzzles "Get em." attempts to wedge the rod in the blades of the construct.
Move action activate Martial flexibility to get Catch Off Guard hoping this helps if not then we can talk about a better feat if necessary. My guess is this is a maneuver? If the Catch Off Guard does apply I won't have the -4 for improvised equipment.
Fuzzles Aid Cheshire: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (6) + 3 = 9
Jamming a stick in the spokes: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (12) + 3 = 15
Celest Slysword |
"Grrr!"
Celest attempts to leap to the chair then to the ground beside mechanical menace. Double move.
acrobatics to C6: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (18) + 9 = 27
acrobatics to D7: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (14) + 9 = 23
Cheshire Silvanshee |
"Hit harder or run. If we run we won't know what's in the pod thing."
Celest Slysword |
"Uh, none of our regular weapons seem to work, anyone got any ideas?"
Celest rolls her eyes. "Now you give up!"
Notorious Flynn Ryder |
Flynn quickdraws his short bow and takes a shot.
Short bow: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (13) + 4 = 17
Damage: 1d6 + 1 ⇒ (2) + 1 = 3
"Well if we can't down this thing we aren't going to find out what's in the pod if we are freakin dead either!"
Doctor Rhaym |
Doctor Rhaym nodded sharply.
"Yes, I think you're right."
He popped a catalyst into a red bottle and lobbed it carefully on top of the bot.
Bomb toss vs Touch AC: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (17) + 5 = 22 for 1d6 + 4 ⇒ (5) + 4 = 9 fire damage. Exempting Celest, Fuzzles, Lily and Cheshire's positions.

Round 5________________________
Cheshire Silvanshee______
Cheshire calls out to Fuzzles "Get em." attempts to wedge the rod in the blades of the construct.
Fuzzles distracted the thing just enough to allow Cheshire to jam the detatched limb into a lift fan (even then the thing was quick enough to almost dodge!), the fan exploded and the bot spun down to crash into the foam and the floor beneath.
Celest Slysword______
Celest attempts to leap to the chair then to the ground beside mechanical menace. Double move.
Celest easily bounced off the chair to land next to the grounded bot, waist deep in the foam.
Notorious Flynn Ryder______
Flynn quickdraws his short bow and takes a shot.
He hit, but didn’t have enough force to punch through the armor.
(npc) Variel______
Variel fired another shot from his shortbow, doing minor damage.
Doctor Rhaym______
He popped a catalyst into a red bottle and lobbed it carefully on top of the bot.
He dropped the bomb directly on top of the bot. It exploded, sending fire and sparks everywhere in ten feet around it except for the party members.
ENEMIES__________________
The bot spun wildly, firing it’s massive underslung beam weapon. It hit Variel and he collapsed without a sound. Then something inside it burst, it’s lights went out and it collapsed unmoving.
DM-Camris |
Both Lily and Variel have fallen into a comatose state and cannot be awoken, though they seem otherwise to have sustained little damage.
A search of the desks against the north wall uncovers several interesting technological devices (which will require some time to identify), as well as the personal equipment of a Wizard—
Combat Gear
potions of cure light wounds (2),
scroll of detect radiationTG,
scroll of technomancyTG,
scroll of unseen servant,
wand of magic missile (CL 3rd, 44 charges),
acid (2);
Other Gear
mwk dagger,
amulet of natural armor +1,
antitoxin,
everburning torch,
bedroll,
cold-weather outfit,
flint and steel,
mwk backpack, rations (5 days), traveler’s outfit, waterskin, winter blanket,
52 gp, 4 sp, 3 cp
The muffled screams for help coming from inside the stasis pod are from none other than Khonnir Baine! You can see him pounding the inside of the transparent casing. Unfortunately, it seems locked somehow.
Cheshire Silvanshee |
Cheshire heads to the pod. First looking for a card lock. Then tries to find a trigger.
knowledge engineering: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (3) + 9 = 12
Cheshire Silvanshee |
"Heya box guy. I think this thingy has a lock. We don't have a card that opens it."
Celest Slysword |
"Shove. We ain't got time for this." Celest shoves Flynn to the side.
disable device: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (18) + 8 = 26
Celest is calling dibs on an acid, and a potion of cure light wounds. As far as the rest goes--in order--she would like: 1) the amulet, 2) the backpack, (if she got the back pack she could take the cold weather gear), 3) the torch, and 4) the dagger to add to her collection.
Notorious Flynn Ryder |
Disable Device: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (19) + 9 = 28
"Over here, this little thingymajiggy hooks on this whoseywhatsit and locks the chingus."
"I think you got it!"
DM-Camris |
Most are nonfunctional, but you notice seven that might be still workable with some study.
Between Celest and Flynn, the pod cracks open releasing a puff of white vapor. Then it opens smoothly and out spills the naked body of Master Khonnir Bane!
There is something wrong with him though. He seems to be unable to walk; many small incision have been inflicted on his legs. His grip seems strong enough, but vastly clumsy and tremor filled.
He clearly recognizes you as friends, as he stops screaming for help, but he struggles to control his face, and can barely speak one word at a time.
"Thank... You..." Is all he can speak.
Doctor Rhaym |
"Master Bane!" He cried out.
Hustling forward Doctor Rhaym bent down to examine him.
Heal: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (15) + 6 = 21
"Something is badly wrong with him. Nothing I have is healing him, and the same thing is affecting Lily and Variel!"
Notorious Flynn Ryder |
"Crap! What the hell did they do to your legs?! Do you know where the rest of your party is? Wait? Is this your stuff?"
Flynn asks as he and Celest are caught rifling through it.
Cheshire Silvanshee |
"How go our resources? I think we need to get these wounded out."
Celest Slysword |
"Master Bane!" He cried out.
Hustling forward Doctor Rhaym bent down to examine him."Something is badly wrong with him. Nothing I have is healing him, and the same thing is affecting Lily and Variel!"
"Uh... koff, koff."
bluff: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (17) + 6 = 23
"There won't be enough of us to get them, and their gear out. Tell you what, I think I'm well enough that if you guy can get them out I can stand guard over their gear and the stuff we found."
Notorious Flynn Ryder |
"No, no, we are going to load them back into their eggs. They are like healing pods of something. Let's check around here real quick maybe we can find another way out or some way to cart them back across the desert. I don't want to split up."
Cheshire Silvanshee |
Cheshire nods, "Hopefully they can stay safe in these."
Cheshire looks over the fallen constructs for any interesting bits.
Perception: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (14) + 4 = 18
Knowledge Engineering: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (14) + 9 = 23
Valuable salvage, any ray weapons, or weapons that are skymetals would be huge.
Now that we shot off 2 the shells from our launcher are there any tell tale differences that might help us identify if the third is another flare or fire extinguisher or something different.
DM-Camris |
The case had three of the little thermos/tube launcher things. You've fired two of them; chances are good the last one is the same kind. It's got all the same markings after all.
The bots are basically trash, though you can take the parts back to the lab back in town for salvage or possible raw materials for other things. Along with Knonnir Bane's equipment, you find six interesting tech devices/unknown equipment that you feel certain you can use if they are identified/fixed up.
Doctor Rhaym |
Doctor Rhaym nodded slowly.
"All right; I can agree with putting them in these 'Stasis Tube' things. But they won't get any better in them. We need to get them back into town at the earliest opportunity."
DM-Camris |
Notorious Flynn Ryder |
"Lets try this door." [ooc]at O4 on the map.[ooc]
"We should at least check a few more rooms, maybe we can find something that will help us. I feel safer in here than trying to cross the desert in our current state of affairs. Heck, maybe we'll find a horseless carriage or some other fangled way of moving their bodies."
"Now lets see, traps, buttons or wires?"
Perception: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (2) + 6 = 8
"Finially, a normal freaking door! Everyone ready?"
