GM Niles Iron Gods (Inactive)

Game Master nilesr

Jarreck joins Omo in disabling the robots...kn:Engineering: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (9) + 8 = 17, asking Omo for pointers where needed and should a mannequin begin to move ready to scramble what brains it has with the adamantine dagger. Once they are done he will move to the next corner, black arrow, and if clear will move to the door on the left and listen for movement.

stealth: 1d20 + 15 ⇒ (3) + 15 = 18
perception: 1d20 + 14 ⇒ (5) + 14 = 19 +3 vs traps

Guaire hushes spike.

"Come."

Guaire tries to sneak past the bots, closely followed by Spike.
Stealth Guaire: 1d20 + 13 ⇒ (19) + 13 = 32
Stealth Spike: 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (15) + 10 = 25

Omo moves to each of the mannequins and scrambles their internal workings more thoroughly. They are now "stunned" for 10 minutes instead of just 1 minute

Area E8
A mess of intertwined tubes and pistons occupy the east and west walls of this chamber. Corridors exit the space to the north and south. A section of the west wall is made of a slightly recessed slab of polished metal that disrupts the regular pattern of smaller gray metal plates on the walls. Bright lights glow in the ceiling fifteen feet above.

Area E9
This twenty-foot-wide room has a towering pillar of glowing metal and flashing lights looming fifty feet up into the silo-like space above. The towering pillar periodically vents small puffs of steam, and the air within is cloyingly warm. Condensed water drips down the walls to pool on the floor.

Perception: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (14) + 9 = 23
Kn:Engineering: 1d20 + 16 ⇒ (5) + 16 = 21

Seventeen wanders through and fails to notice anything of importance...

Perception Guaire: 1d20 + 12 ⇒ (9) + 12 = 21
Perception Spike: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (20) + 9 = 29

As does Guaire, though Spike might be seeing odd things and scratches the surface.

Can he do this, Niles? Like a curious pet?

Sure, but he wouldn't be able to tell you its a door

Jarreck moves forward, his initial glance not revealing the slab is a door, as he reaches Seven's position he stares at the tall columns trying to discern their use. the knowledge check is beyond his ability

"Any idea what those are?" he ask Seven and then again Omo when he moves up, from his position he thinks he can spot an opening on the left side of the hallway.

Moving up he investigates

Stealth: 1d20 + 15 ⇒ (18) + 15 = 33
Perception: 1d20 + 14 ⇒ (8) + 14 = 22 +3 vs traps

"Hey guys, Spike's found something."

Guaire takes a second look where Spike is scratching the wall.

Assuming it's allowed..
Perception: 1d20 + 12 ⇒ (20) + 12 = 32

"A door. Jarreck, can you take a look at it."

Perception E8: 1d20 + 19 ⇒ (5) + 19 = 24
Perception E9: 1d20 + 19 ⇒ (2) + 19 = 21

Mort waits patiently on Jarreck's shoulder and notices nothing until Spike might have found something close by.

if Niles allows....
Jarreck stops his progress through the room when Guaire calls out to him. Coming over to inspect the huge piece of Glaucite he nods at Guaire's exclamation that this was a door. "Good eye master ranger, I missed this completely. Mort give me some room please incase this thing is trapped."

Settling down to inspect the door he looks for ways to bypass the locks and open this portal.

Disable Device: 1d20 + 20 ⇒ (18) + 20 = 38 +4 more if this is an electronic door that the green card can be used against, +5 more if this door is trapped, either or not both they are competence bonuses

"In this case, you should thank little Spike here. He found it."

(Spike looking up at mention of his name)

Seventeen watches the action in a detached way before remarking acerbically, "Interesting. Whatever is behind that was well hidden."

The large slab to the west is a massive glaucite door (hardness 15, hp 120, Break DC 36, Disable Device DC 35). It cannot be opened without force or dismantling from this side

As far as Jarreck can tell, the massive slab of Glaucite is sealed tight. Only bashing it down, or dismantling the entire door will bypass it.

"Given a couple hours I can probably dismantle it but in the meantime we'll have to deal with them." Pointing towards the mannequins behind them. " perhaps we should continue."

Niles, Jarreck posted rolls for stealth and perception above to move up and check the new opening at the top of the map. Here they are to save your searching.

Stealth: 1d20 + 15 ⇒ (18) + 15 = 33
Perception: 1d20 + 14 ⇒ (8) + 14 = 22 +3 vs traps

Jarreck moves North, and leading the heroes they survey the extent of the Geothermal Power facility. It is extensive.

The Geothermal Powered area leads to a door to the north. There is a flashing panel near the door that you surmise opens it.

Map updated

Niles I'm guessing the original disable device check of 38 wasn't good enough to bypass the door before. Just noticed you listed a 35 on your DD check in your post.

Jarreck moves forward and inspects the control panel. kn:Engineering: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (16) + 8 = 24

Yeah, that's the DC for opening the door from the other side. This side is sheer door with nothing to "pick"

Jarreck checks the door and finds no traps. The panel is similar to the ones encountered under Torch those were used to open doors.

Having a variety of access cards to choose from, Jarreck tries them starting with the green one then white, grey, and brown.

If those fail barring an alarm ringing out , he'll attempt to bypass them with the green e-pick.

disable device (electronic lock): 1d20 + 20 + 5 ⇒ (14) + 20 + 5 = 39

Jarreck touches the pad, and the door whisks open with a soft huffing sound.
Area E10
This twenty-foot square room is empty, save for an array of blinking lights and glowing consoles built into the northern wall. To the west, a large metal panel interrupts the regular pattern of smaller metal plates adorning the walls.

Isuma suggests The controls?

Does the Technomancy spell work for deciphering the controls?

Kn:Engineering: 1d20 + 16 ⇒ (11) + 16 = 27

Yes

Seven flicks a few buttons on the panel and the entire places goes Dark.

Just an FYI, some robots have darkvision(or other ways of "seeing")...very few of you guys do.

That's the side effect of being human.

"Hey...well, that was the wrong button.
Press it again, before something jumps onto our necks."

I didn't spell it out in ooc but Seventeen cast a light spell on Jarreck's blades, so we can see.

Isuma remarks Whatever controls this place almost certainly knows what's been done. And they will be sending their minions here...we should prepare. Or flee. Or do something.

With the lights blinking on and off within the complex Jarreck eases down the hallway with Mort on his shoulder once more if the druid chooses. "Going to check ahead, might want to figure out how to blow this up quickly if need be Seven. I'd rather be blown to bits than have my brain sucked out with a straw." He ends with a quip, hoping to see what lies ahead before it reaches them.

Stealth: 1d20 + 15 ⇒ (5) + 15 = 20
Perception: 1d20 + 14 ⇒ (7) + 14 = 21

Niles moving down the hallway towards the open area, missed the new section of the map being opened up.

Jarreck, you have a source of light on you and the entire complex is pitch black now. It'll be really hard to be stealthy...like -20 hard.

Jarreck turns the corner and spots a strange looking robot The metallic menace immediately spots Jarreck and "says"

Who dares Trespass on the realm of the Emperor Binox! Bow before your metal overlord! in Androffan

Wasn't sure if Seven had turned the lights back on or not, guess not :)

As his light highlights the contours of the metal creature in front of him, who promptly challenges the rogue, Jarreck begins back peddling around the corner. " Guys we have company coming."

Jarreck backs around the corner and waits for the big thing to get there. Knife readied "Mort, might want to back up a bit this is liable to get ugly. God's I hope Seven's spell works better this time."

+1 keen Adman dagger: 1d20 + 12 ⇒ (2) + 12 = 14 <sigh>
damage: 1d4 + 4 ⇒ (4) + 4 = 8

Hearing the approach of an enemy robot, Seventeen clicks her fingers and whistles. Suddenly the huge bulk of a ferocious dinosaur appears down the corridor! "Defend us!" she commands it.

Seventeen used 5 arcane reservoir points to cast Summon Monster V and an Ankylosaurus appeared. It hangs around for 9 minutes at her level. It has +4 str and con from Augment Summoning

"Kraa! Kraa KraKra!"
Mort replies to Jarreck and flies off his shoulder towards the ceiling.

The robot continues on, when Seven summons a massive dinosaur the robot booms.
Who dares summon primitive organic life in the realm of the Emperor Binox! Submit yourselves to the will of Binox and explain your trespass!

"This hunk of junk has a good number of appendages to attack with, it would seem."

Guaire takes position east of Mort on the map.

Omo moves forwards and throws a bomb.

Bombs Away (RT): 1d20 + 11 + 2 ⇒ (11) + 11 + 2 = 24
Damage: 5d6 + 8 ⇒ (3, 2, 5, 4, 4) + 8 = 26*1.5=39

"And should we not explain our trespass as you call it? This land has no emperor unless an empire has been reduced to the size of a cave in a run down back water cavern in the desert. What is he emperor of?"

Jarreck walks forward to join the ankylosaurs thinking to slip behind the guard creature as the two fight.

acrobatics: 1d20 + 15 ⇒ (17) + 15 = 32

Niles let me know if you need more acrobatics rolls

Well, there goes any attempt at Diplomacy...Also @Seven just fyi the Ankylosaurus is a HUGE creature and so couldn't fit in this hallway. However, I'm cool with it just being large sized for this battle...it is magic afterall.

Omo charges forward with a sparking bomb in his hand, initiating combat with the God Emperor Binox.

Just Mort, he has a few hours and then I'll bot him.

Mort flies closer and begins flapping his wings at high speeds, a glob of dark energy pulses forth and hits the ground at the back end of Binox. Then the glob explodes in a bloom of decaying energy.

Omo has some mad fire resist at the moment, as does his sister and Isuma.

Omo tosses two bombs in fast succession.

Mort, Guaire, Jarreck and Seven are up

Jarreck turns and tosses another arc grenade at the emperor, confsed a bit as to why the electrical damage failed to hurt the robot; but seeing the force field crackle, hopes the next one works better.

Arc grenade-range penalty: 1d20 + 10 - 2 ⇒ (8) + 10 - 2 = 16
Electrical Damage: 5d6 ⇒ (1, 1, 5, 5, 3) = 15*1.5=22 DC15 Ref for 1/2

He should make a reflex save or take minimum damage from the miss.

Mort conjures up another dark glob of necromantic energy and hurls it at the same spot.

Explosion of Rot: 9d6 ⇒ (3, 3, 2, 3, 1, 4, 5, 5, 4) = 30
Rounds Staggered: 1d4 ⇒ 3
Ref Save DC 20 to halve damage and ignore staggered

Seventeen rubs the palms of her hands together while whispering something you don't quite catch. Miniature lightnings play across her fingers before she suddenly claps, and a small lightning storm appears next to Binox. Harsh flashes of forked lightning lash out to strike Binox and then the torture bot!

Standard action: Seventeen casts Aggressive Thundercloud, Greater 2/4 level 4 spells cast.
Move action: She sweeps it across both robots.
Electricity damage: 6d6 ⇒ (3, 5, 1, 4, 6, 4) = 23*1.5 = 34 damage, DC 21 reflex to negate. The first creature damaged by the cloud is also stunned for 1 round (Fort DC 21 negates).

I doubt the emperor still functions after what the others have done to it.

If it drops, Guaire moves closer to behind Jarreck, and shoots at the torture bot.

It has cover, but not total cover, so i would have no penalty on my aim.

Shot, FE: 1d20 + 15 + 4 ⇒ (18) + 15 + 4 = 37Dmg, FE, bane: 1d8 + 2 + 4 + 2d6 ⇒ (2) + 2 + 4 + (6, 3) = 17
