Yvell and Muga move up to the last Rust-Risen. The paladin slashes at it with his curved blade, a shallower diagonal cut across its rib section, while the samurai's nodachi cuts deeply burning the rotten flesh in a horizontal slash. The undead's torso flops to the ground.
Battle is over.
"You all are monsters..." Whiskifiss says in wonder.
Phylla sends a confused whisper in your minds, excluding Whiskifiss. "Is that a compliment? Maybe this ratfolk wants to fight with you."
Aeron Woke |
Aeron moves to the fallen and begins rummaging around the defiled specimens to see if there was anything salvageable on them, though she was doubtful.
Yvell Endymion |
CSW: 3d8 + 4 ⇒ (7, 7, 7) + 4 = 25
Yvell uses the blessing of Sarenrae and glows a bit.
" We are.. are monsters of a different type. We arent killing you at least. "
He looks to Phylla and shrugs, " Its in amazement Phylla "
Valtyra Brightsong |
Yvell you can save that spell i have a wand of cure light that i can use. And dont forget the cure mod i did last round
Wand CLW: 4d8 + 4 ⇒ (5, 3, 1, 7) + 4 = 20
Val taps Yvell 4 times with a wand healing some of his wounds.
Yvell Endymion |
Ahh that is good to know Val; Yvell wasnt aware even though I knew.. I wasnt sure if she would use it. Also Lifelink is still o Yvell.. unless you turned it off.. those combines will heal him up enough Val would take 5 more HP.
Yvell's wounds heal further, the paladin giving Valtyra a warm smile.. for him at least.. at the assistance. " Lately it has seemed that the only reason I have stayed aloft has been with your help Valtyra ... I -I cannot be anymore thankful then. I wanted you to know that, your efforts do not go unrecognized. " Unfortunately for Val it is not truly what she may think, for he was still oblivious to her 'other' efforts.
Turning to Whiskifiss. " Assuming your astonishment is well and over, I will repeat that we are here to save you. We, The Pomegranate Dreamers, have been sent by your sibling to rescue you and simultaneously destroy the Smiler Scum. It would be a great help, if you could tell us about the Necromancer. How they stole you away. "
Diplomacy: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (20) + 9 = 29
Uriah Lewis |
Uriah smiles at Yvell It seems that for all his rage, he can still charm when necessary.
To the Ratfolk Uriah says Indeed, we mean you no harm.
Yvell Endymion |
Yvell wears the face of a military man, debriefing his soldiers, his smile from Valtyra had left as soon as he spoke to the ratfolk. Even then smiling appeared foreign to his facial structure.
" That also reminds me, if anyone else is injured it would be best to speak up now and be taken care of before we handle the leader here and re-purpose these facilities. "
Muga |
"Eh, sure. Yeah. I could use some healing if it's not a burden. 15 gold a pop fine? I'll take two." Muga began counting out pieces, after mulling for a second whether he wanted healing.
Yvell Endymion |
Yvell raised a brow and shrugged. " If you wish to do so that is fine, otherwise see to Valtyra.. this includes you as well ratfolk "
GM Demonmoose |
Whiskifiss scratches his whiskers. He does not seem to be ashamed of his nudity. He waves away any healing from Valtyra.
"I was going out to get a drink, some slosh from a local watering hole, when a bunch of smilers jumped me. Now, I was pretty exhausted from training our rust monsters, so naturally I was no match for the scum. Plus there were ten of them, and only one of me." He puffs up and inhales to hide some of his rat fat. They put me in here and told me the doctor would see me in a second. Doctor, plah! Marrow ain't no doctor. She's a butcher, or worse."
"Now that you've found me, I think it'd be best if you escorted me back home. Marrow is one crazy hobgoblin. Anyone that can lead a bunch of cannibal druggies has to be, right? RIGHT?"
Yvell Endymion |
Yvell nods in agreement, " That is true we are obligated to escort you. However it seems while we are here we can ensure no other of your kind.. or any other mind you.. need to suffer against her machinations. We've already killed Birdfood. I see no reason to stop with just one Smiler Leader. After which we shall give you the royal escort back to the safety of your Gang. "
Yvell places his arm over his chest as if it were a pledge. Yvell mentally hides his laughter at the ratfolk upselling himself.
Aeron Woke |
Aeron stows the battery away as she moves to the rest. She watches the exchange with some passing interest but quirks her head as Phylla informs them of the overgrown mutant mouse's bloating of the truth. She moves very close to "Whiskerfish", her nose almost touching his snout.
Ten? Why would it take ten to capture you?
She moves back her eyes pooping wide as she snaps her fingers loudly.
Before I forget! You look relatively in tact. Can you tell us what they did to you in here? You do not look similarly mutilated as these others do.
She then looks around the room again and moves to any available work station.
I wonder if there are any notes around here. The gnome always kept notes strewn about.
Her train of thought was like a hand full of glitter thrown up in the air. One could only peer at the whole of the spectacle rather than catching any one shimmer and following it down.
Yvell Endymion |
I believe you meant.. popping wide.. not pooping
Yvell looks at Aeron busying herself with the various activities. She was either not there or on a whole other topic, it was confusing to say the least. She also attached herself to Muga, he knew not why. " Well he was put into there.. and frozen we know that.. as well as not being turned into an undead. "
GM Demonmoose |
Whiskifiss checks his body, patting down all the usual places. "Nope, don't see anything changed. I guess I'm lucky. Probably Marrow didn't get to me yet. Unless I'm some kind of zombie and I don't know it. I mean, Marrow is a necromancer. Maybe I'm not really me..." The ratfolk's face is pale. He moves away from the eastern door, and takes a spot near the back of the group.
Open the eastern doors, or leave?
Uriah Lewis |
I'm like 100% sure that Yvell isn't ready to leave =). Let's open those doors.
I believe your fears are unfounded Whiskifiss. Uriah says and then to his new allies who he is beginning to understand a little better he quips We have a necromancer to see.
Yvell Endymion |
We havent expended many resources and have only a few more things to accomplish today so yeah onward.
" If you have your wits, then you are you. Besides, we have a definite way to tell if you were.. undead. Trust me when I say you are not. Phylla, he will be under your care, make sure he is safe. Everyone else stay close we arent sure what might be in there but its better to be prepared for the worst. "
Yvell pulls the door to the east open.
Shake it Off switched on
Valtyra Brightsong |
Val winks at Yvell listening to the ratfolks tale. By the look on her face its easy to tell that she doesnt believe him. But she shruggs. "I think we should clear this place of all of its monsters. I dont want anyone else falling victim to these smilers. I dont know that I have ever truely hated a group as much as I hate these smilers."
She looks around the room then heads for the door. Tapping herself with the wand as she does.
CLW: 1d8 + 1 ⇒ (3) + 1 = 4
Valtyra Brightsong |
Sorry Muga i missed your post.
Val looks at Muga and shakes her head, "No money for now. But when this one runs out we can all chip in for a new one." She tells him and she taps him with the want.
CLW: 2d8 + 2 ⇒ (7, 2) + 2 = 11
Aeron Woke |
While the others are preparing to move on Aeron looks up at their departure. She is just in time to watch Valtyra heal Muga, and Muga put his coin away. During the exodus, Aeron tugs on Valtyra's sleeve and not so subtly (though it is obvious she is trying to be) hands her a wand and whispers to her.
This should more than pay for any healing Muga, Urchin or I may need for the near future. You may not want payment, but it is best to contribute where we can and conserve when we must.
Aeron does not remember Uriah's name since she heard it while she was distracted, so it is Urchin until then.
Aeron hands Valtyra a wand of Cure Light Wounds (45 charges).
And yes, I meant popping. Stupid autocorrect.
GM Demonmoose |
Yvell slides the door open and sees a small hall and another set of doors. He moves over and opens the next set of double doors.
This large chamber contains several metal tables adorned with tangles of strange devices sporting metallic, articulated arms, many of which end in blades, needles, saws, or other implements of surgery. The whole area reeks of blood and old guts, and telltale rusty brown stains besmirch the floor and walls. Lighting is provided by several burning skulls sitting here and there throughout the room.
Behind two operating tables and near a wooden dresser is a hobgoblin dressed in what looks to be a surgeon's uniform. A glowing wand is in one hand, while a dagger is in the other.
On the tables are four humans wearing leather, with stitched up wounds on the sides of their heads. Beside each one is a greatclub. Finally, on the northern and southern walls stand four (two each) of the Rust Risen.
"It seems you've entered the wrong room," Marrow says. "But you came at the right time. I was running out of snacks." She knocks on the wall to the east. "Assistance please."
Yvell Endymion |
Yvell gives out a shout, that erupts into a roar " We are the Pomegranate Dreamers! And know the only thing you shall taste is Steel and the cold lament of your death! "
Yvell released his raging song to bolster the group, ready to fight.
How far is she from us? And I assume Init will be rolled soonish. Though I guess neither side is caught unawares.
Uriah Lewis |
Map is edited based on Demonmoose's description. Undead things are triangles, humans with scars on head are smiley faces, marrow is circle with an M
Yvell Endymion |
Not sure if they are movable or not. Some might be enemies some might not. The humans are on the tables at least.
GM Demonmoose |
The bodies on the metal tables begin to stir, as do the Rust-Risen on the sides of the room.
Aeron’s Initiative: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (2) + 4 = 6
Muga’s Initiative: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (14) + 2 = 16
Uriah’s Initiative: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (11) + 2 = 13
Valtyra's Initiative: 1d20 + 1 ⇒ (20) + 1 = 21
Yvell's Initiative: 1d20 + 0 ⇒ (9) + 0 = 9
Phylla’s Initiative: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (10) + 4 = 14
Enemy Initiative: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (2) + 3 = 5
1. Everyone
2. Enemies
Marrow is 30 feet away from you, past two 3-foot tall metal tables, on which are prone human “experiments.” There are also two Rust Risen on the north wall and two Rust Risen on the south wall blocking the path. Use Uriah's map if that doesn't make sense.
Yvell Endymion |
Yvell gave a shout as his rage continued, " Valtyra handle the Undead, I'm counting on you! The rest focus on the Necromancer before she can do anything! Cut down anything in your path! Muga I want you on her first! Phylla anything get within your reach you whip it, just protect the Ratfolk. " Yvell would them move up and around his 20ft and pick up one of the Human experiment's weapons and then toss it behind him before they could utilize it. He menacingly stood over them, ready to strike down one of them if they should rise.
Raging song 4/9 rounds remaining
Uriah Lewis |
Uriah moves forward and stares at Marrow focusing his mind and imposing his will onto her. Moving 20' forward and casting Oppressive Boredom DC 19 Will save or Marrow does nothing.
Valtyra Brightsong |
Val moves into the room by one of the tables, throwing a dirty look to Yvells back. Then says a prayer and sends holy warmth at the undead.
Channel to Harm: 3d6 ⇒ (2, 1, 5) = 8
Dice why you hate me?!? Dc 18 will for half.
Also is there any knowledge we can do on the ones on the table or are they just mutilated people?
GM Demonmoose |
Will Save, DC 18: 1d20 + 1 ⇒ (18) + 1 = 19
Will Save, DC 18: 1d20 + 1 ⇒ (8) + 1 = 9
Will Save, DC 18: 1d20 + 1 ⇒ (14) + 1 = 15
Will Save, DC 18: 1d20 + 1 ⇒ (11) + 1 = 12
Valtyra's magic doesn't seem to affect the bodies on the table.
Muga and Aeron's turn. Rust Risen A(4), Rust Risen B(8),Rust Risen C(8),Rust Risen D(8), Lobotomite A(0),Lobotomite B(0),Lobotomite C(0), Lobotomite D(0), Marrow (0).
Aeron Woke |
Aeron surveys the room ahead with a grim-like expression. The tables brought back some disturbing memories of her first moments of contentiousness. She set her jaw as the images flashed through her mind when she gets a jarring jolt akin to a scream in her mind resounding from Oblivion. Her mind refocuses quickly as she throws herself into spell casting. A transparent purple field shimmers to life before her oscillating around her her body upon the spells completion before she moves into the room, moving past Uriah, and onto the table before him standing atop it almost as if trying to pull the rooms attention.
Aeron casts Shield on herself, then moves into the room and up onto the tables just infront of Uriah.
Uriah Lewis |
I think there are monsters on top of that table?
Aeron Woke |
yes, there are. But it looks like there is enough room to stand, they have not acted yet, are prone, and you are squishy. Soooo, all in all, i think it was the right move. Oh, and high ground.
Muga |
"I will charge at her as soon as your song grants me the ability to fly or phase through tables. In the mean time, I cut my way there the slow way."
Slashy Slashy The Rust Risen: 1d20 + 11 ⇒ (7) + 11 = 18
Damage: 1d10 + 1d6 + 14 ⇒ (9) + (3) + 14 = 26
AC -2 from charging and whatever penalty the song gives me.
GM Demonmoose |
Muga's blade cuts into the Rust Risen as he charges at the southern group. It doesn't have a chance to stir awake.
The creatures atop the tables stand atop the tables and attack Aeron and Yvell. Aeron and Yvell can make opportunity attacks. The other two humans move off the table and file towards the north and south walls behind the Rust Risen.
Aeron dodges the greatclub attack from the Lobotomite. The other human touches Yvell's armor but he shakes away from the creature. The paladin lifts his leg and knocks aside the other arm drill with his blade. Muga feels the other Rust Risen bite into his shoulder, its metal jaws clamp tightly and rip out a small amount of flesh.
Rust Risen A(4), Rust Risen B(8),Rust Risen D(8), Lobotomite A(0),Lobotomite B(0),Lobotomite C(12), Lobotomite D(0), Marrow (0).
The Rust Risen move, chattering their metal jaws together and move at Yvell atop the table and Muga.
Marrow fires a bolt of lightning from her hand, striking through one of the lobotomites on the table, Aeron and Uriah. Aeron and Uriah can make a Reflex Save DC 15 to halve damage.
Greatclub vs Aeron: 1d20 - 2 ⇒ (13) - 2 = 111d10 + 1 ⇒ (10) + 1 = 11
Grapple Yvell: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (13) + 2 = 15
Arm Drill vs Yvell: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (3) + 5 = 81d6 + 3 ⇒ (2) + 3 = 5
Metal Jaw vs Muga: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (14) + 5 = 191d6 + 3 ⇒ (4) + 3 = 7
Arm Drill vs Yvell: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (13) + 5 = 181d6 + 3 ⇒ (2) + 3 = 5
Lightning Bolt: 6d6 ⇒ (4, 6, 3, 4, 5, 2) = 24
Lobotomite Reflex, if it's alive: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (13) + 3 = 16
Summary: 7 damage to Muga. Aeron and Yvell can make opportunity attacks against the humans on the table. Aeron and Uriah may make Reflex saves DC 15, taking 24 or 12 electric damage.
Everyone's turn. Phylla is guarding the naked ratfolk, Whiskifiss, in the other room.
Uriah Lewis |
Reflex: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (4) + 4 = 8
Uriah drops to the ground, dying. Stability Dc 10: 1d20 ⇒ 6
@-1HP
Uriah Lewis |
Editing map as best I can. GM, Muga charged the Northern group.
Muga |
Slashy Slashy at person who hurt me: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (1) + 9 = 10
Nope.
Muga finds it difficult to swing his massive blade, especially with his shoulder being nommed on.
Valtyra Brightsong |
Hearing Uriah cry out Val says a prayer to Serenrae and send a wave of healing over the group.
Channel to heal: 3d6 ⇒ (2, 2, 6) = 10 Exclude bad guys
Aeron Woke |
Aeron does a long sweep of her sword attempting to strike both creatures as they begin to rise.
AoO on lobotomite A: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (5) + 9 = 14
If Hit: 1d6 + 5 ⇒ (4) + 5 = 9
AoO on lobotomite B: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (11) + 9 = 20
If Hit: 1d6 + 5 ⇒ (1) + 5 = 6
Her attention is then caught by the casting of the spell and Aeron tries to leap straight up to try to avoid the bold..
Reflex for half vs Lightning Bolt: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (13) + 5 = 18
Aeron lands back down in a crouch after having dodged the brunt of the attack. She offers Marrow a quick glance before returning her attention to the rising creatures sending out a slash to the one that was not in the line of the lightning strike.
Attack on lobotomite not struck by lightning: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (4) + 9 = 13
If Hit: 1d6 + 5 ⇒ (4) + 5 = 9
Aeron Woke |
I did not realize the lobotomite Muga attacked was the same one on my table. I had not referenced the map before my post. Ignore one of the AoO's if it is already down.
Aeron Woke |
AERON! BEHIND YOU!
Aeron spun thinking another attacker was coming for her back when she saw the now unconscious Uriah laying on the ground. She took a quick survey of the area trying to find a way to help him without putting herself or others in harm themselves. She then focused her attention on Marrow with great intent. She sent out a mental cry and hoped Phylla was still listening.
Phylla! Keep Wiskerfish out of the way, but help Urchin down there. He is badly wounded!
Yvell Endymion |
Do note As SOON as Uriah hit the ground he woke back up and never had to stabilize. When someone goes unconscious they automatically accept raging song which means he would gain his HD in HP and be at 3HP a conscious. Valtyras init comes before Uriah and so when she channels he goes to 13.. on his round he can choose to not accept the rage and act normally and thus his HP will be at 9 and he will have his entire turn. Raging song is super helpful. Now to settle this AoO
Yvell in righteous Anger slices down at the man who wished to grab at him. He aimed for the chest.
AoO Raging Powerful Blade Slash: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (18) + 6 = 241d10 + 8 ⇒ (8) + 8 = 16
Yvell cuts at the one south of him that tried to grapple
Confirm AoO Raging Powerful Blade Slash: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (15) + 6 = 211d10 + 8 ⇒ (7) + 8 = 15
Need to know if that dropped him.. because that caster needs to get handled; Aeron should try and drop the one that had a lightning strike on it because its still up.
Yvell Endymion |
Y'know now that I think about it.. it doest really matter it'll be one less AoO on him if he does. Someone has to get on that caster or they are gunna be raining hell down on us. Uriah don't forget to take your turn.
After the grievous strike he dealt to the man, Yvell roared out seeing that the fodder was just to keep the Necromancer in the back safe from harm. Yvell rushed past all the enemies surrounding him and marched up to Marrow. Provokes from two Rust Risen and the Northern Lobotomites, only one of the Lobotomites if Yvells attack incapacitated the other
As he did so his avatar burst vividly from his back, Five Flaming wings. Calling down a righteous judgement upon her.
" You shall pay for your crimes against humanity! And your despicable gang! " Yvell swiped down with hate along her wand arm.
Champions Raging Powerful Blade Slash: 1d20 + 11 ⇒ (14) + 11 = 251d10 + 9 ⇒ (8) + 9 = 17
Swift action Weal's Champion on Marrow. If hit allies gain a +2 to hit and +1 on damage rolls against her.. not that it matters.
