[PFS/DMK/EMS] The Emerald Spire Superdungeon

Game Master Kludde

Moving past the strange metal man Bruce would have tried to identify it.

Know: 1d20 + 7 + 1d6 ⇒ (12) + 7 + (1) = 20 Arcana or Engineering the roll is the same.

Unable to clearly see Jalik moves up to the front of the party near Skaar with bardiche drawn at the door.

"Skaar, what is going on? All I hear is giberish from beyond and Asuna. Are they peaceful?"

"There is a big metal construct in the middle of the room. It may have some small resistance to your weapons. It looks like it is in bad shape and may go down easily....or explode, but most likely the first one."

"Asuna is attempting to reach a diplomatic solution," Skaarr replies. He waits to see the results of the talk to act further.

Thistle, completely unaware of the situation around him due to his lack of ability to hear, stands frozen and confused as his companions appear on edge, yet do not move towards whatever is going on in the newly opened room.

He moves forward to get a better look at what is going on in the oppressing darkness, with the lack of sensory input teetering on the verge of ovewhelming. His nerves beginning to fray, his grip on his morningstar tightens, and his shield is firmly ready in front of his body.

Readied action, attack an enemy who gets within melee range of me, moving into the new room, torch in hand.

The goblin shouts something at the construct to hold, and awaits the response of Asuna

Amir tightens his grip on his torch also waiting for the situation to unfold.
Oh boy.

bluff: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (10) + 9 = 19

To the others in common Asuna says "Hang on guys I'm telling this minion about our mission. We were sent by his master Grulk to aid in the experiments. "

Grulk, ok, got it. Amir nods.
Delay until the end of the 'negotiations".

Hearing the negotiations go south, Skaarr forces his way into the chamber again holding his axe as a shield, this time against the construct. This might hurt.. he thinks as he moves past it, expecting to feel the bite of its blade at any moment. "Negotiations are over guys, time to kill this goblin s*%#bag," he informs the non-goblin speakers.

Standard action; fight defensively. AC 18
Move on red line, provoking an AOO.

Clanky slams at the huge half-orc as it tries to get past

AoO: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (16) + 6 = 221d6 + 4 ⇒ (6) + 4 = 10 Oooph

Guess this is it.
Making use of Skarr's distraction Amir moves into the room to punch the goblin in the eye and try to set a flank with Bruce.
Cestus+P.Attk: 1d20 + 5 - 1 ⇒ (18) + 5 - 1 = 22
Dmg: 1d4 + 4 + 2 ⇒ (3) + 4 + 2 = 9

Please move my icon to the square south of the goblin.

Amir brutally slashes the cleric of Lamashtu, who screams

Skaarr sheds a tear of pain as the construct shatters his femur with a single blow.

Probably could have rolled my readied action above to save time, sorry!

Thistle sees the monstrosity advance out of the gloom, and lacking the context of the conversation, takes a swing.

attack: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (19) + 3 = 22 for damage, bludgeon/pierce: 1d8 + 3 ⇒ (3) + 3 = 6

Thistle demonstrates for all around him (but him) why the construct is called 'Clanky', as his attack sends for a loud noise of metal being impacted. Creature hard creature manages to avoid most damage with its metal plating, but still some spark emerge.

Bruce will step in behind the goblin and attack with his short sword.

Been on a bad roll streak lately.

I ordered Kirito to be ready to attack should it become needed. Can I roll it's actions this round?

The raptor dashes past Thustle, the construct and Amir, then pounces at the cleric of Lamashtu, jumping on top of him and ripping his throat out.

Jalik had already moved once now moves again into the room.

Seeing his master fall, Clanky retaliates at the dinosaur, giving a good smash.

Jalik moves up and strikes; however, crowded into the space his swing way off.

bardiche attack: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (1) + 5 = 6

bardiche damage: 1d10 + 6 ⇒ (5) + 6 = 11

Thistle hisses as Clanky retreats into the gloom, and moves forward to find him in the darkness again. After a few steps forward, he sees the patchwork creation again, and also sees the dinosaur to his left. Eager to take advantage of a potential opportunity, he raises his shield and ducks to the side to move into a flanking position.

Because of the darkness, Thistle wouldn't have been able to see the more advantageous route of moving without provoking an AoO. So it only makes sense that he steps up, sees the opportunity, and elects to take his chances to move through a threatened area.

Attack, w/Flanking: 1d20 + 3 + 2 ⇒ (13) + 3 + 2 = 18 for Damage: 1d8 + 3 ⇒ (2) + 3 = 5

Skaarr being badly wounded, and not trusting himself to cast a spell without drawing the construct's ire again, contents himself to stand there providing a flank for his companions. I can't believe how hard that thing hit me! If goblins get ahold of more of these things, they could cause real trouble.

Standard action; fight defensively. No other actions this round.

Following the sounds of battle Amir joins the others in their attack against the clank.

Move to the south of the creature and attack.
Cestus+P.Attk: 1d20 + 5 - 1 ⇒ (11) + 5 - 1 = 15
Dmg: 1d4 + 4 + 2 ⇒ (2) + 4 + 2 = 8

Kirito lets out a roar of pain after which he claws and bites clanky.

bite: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (16) + 6 = 22
dmg: 1d6 + 6 ⇒ (5) + 6 = 11
claw: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (16) + 6 = 22
dmg: 1d4 + 4 ⇒ (3) + 4 = 7
claw: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (5) + 6 = 11
dmg: 1d4 + 4 ⇒ (4) + 4 = 8

Thistle takes his chances moving up to the construct, and draws a swipe from the metal creature. Fortunately, the oracle is swift enough to evade the blow, and retaliates with solid hit.

AoO: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (10) + 6 = 16

Amir then severs some wires in the construct's arm, as Kirito jumps upon the creature, grabbing it between it jaws, rending it apart while spark fly, a whizzing sound turns into a sparkle, a loud popping noise and finally a BOOM[/bigger as the construct low apart.

Skaar, Thistle, Jalik, Kirito, and Bruce all take damage, DC 11 Reflex to negate
Damage: 1d10 ⇒ 9

Combat over!

Bits and pieces of metal, and one human arm, now lie strewn all over the floor.

Reflex save: 1d20 + 1 ⇒ (2) + 1 = 3

Of course...

Skaarr is taken down by the explosion, falling to the floor and bleeding badly. Due to his ferocious half orc nature, he manages to get off a spell before passing out. Over the next minute, he lays on the floor twitching as his wounds slowly knit themselves back together. At some point during the ordeal, he shrinks back down to normal size. Eventually, the half-orc opens his eyes, blinking groggily. "Owwwww."

Use orc ferocity to stay awake for a round and cast Infernal Healing on myself. So after a minute I'll be back up to 2 HP. Any healing other people might want to throw my way would be much appreciated.

reflex kirito: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (18) + 5 = 23

Asuna walks over over to Kirito and pets it. "Well done friend. You sure showed them.

Can someone please heal Kirito? He took quite the hit from the construct. " Asuna says.
hes at 4 hp atm

My character never moved on the map back when I stepped into flank. So I think that puts him outside the blast.

Bruce pulls out a wand and heals the dino's wounds.

1d8 + 1 ⇒ (5) + 1 = 6
1d8 + 1 ⇒ (7) + 1 = 8

Bruce then searches the room, including the deceased goblin.

perception: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (16) + 6 = 22

"Well look at that, they do explode."

Bruce examines the room. The place used to be a kitchen, but seems to have been converted into a secret laboratory, devoted to building Clanky. Clanky, who has been spread on the floor in several pieces. The scrap metal might still fetch a decent price.

The kitchen has an exit to the west. From beyond the exit, the sound of goblin quibbling can be heard. It's quite evident now that the sound of battle is gone.

Thistle watches as the construction herks and jerks, and ducks at the sudden explosion.

Reflex Save (DC11): 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (3) + 2 = 5

Unfortunately his lack of hearing slows his reaction time, and he cannot hide behind his shield. A piece of the plating catches him in the forehead, knocking him unconcious.

Stabilize roll (DC10): 1d20 - 1 ⇒ (4) - 1 = 3

Ugh... After that failed stabilize roll I would be at negative 2 HP... Depending on how fast someone got to me with a CLW... Now if I was conscious, I could channel...

Poke

CLW: 1d8 + 1 ⇒ (5) + 1 = 6

Thistle lets loose an odd sound that is a mixture between frustrated growl and hiss, but looks up at Bruce with gratefulness in his eyes.

He takes a deep breath, and speaks in his strange sounding voice, The gods cannot make us stronger, without first making us weaker. He pulls out his board, reluctant to speak more than necessary and scribbles, We have passed our first test

He then takes a moment to close his eyes. Faint images of a serpent coiled on the top of a pole float lazily through the air for a few brief moments, making those who see it wonder if it was a trick of their minds. All with wounds however, begin to feel a bit better.

channel positive energy: 1d6 ⇒ 5

Everyone is easily within range for that... I can do that 4 more times before we rest...

Hmm no formula book, guess I won't be learning any new extracts today. Bruce will check the door where all the goblin talk is coming from for traps.

1d20 + 6 + 1 ⇒ (12) + 6 + 1 = 19

If he finds nothing he will open the door after hitting Skaarr with with charge from his CLW wand.

CLW: 1d8 + 1 ⇒ (1) + 1 = 2

"Thank you for healing Kirito my dear." Asuna says to Bruce.

At the sound of more goblin on the other side, Asuna listens at the door, placing her fox ear against it.
She raises a finger to Bruce to wait. because she wants to figure out what they are saying.

"Thanks, Bruce, Thsitle," Skaarr says after receiving the healing. "Let's keep going, want to open that door Amir?"

That construct hit incredibly hard. I hope I didn't overestimate my skill in coming here. It does not bode well that I nearly died in the second room we've explored. Skaarr stands at the back of the group now, seeming cowed by his near-death experience.

Yea. The barbarian gets ready to open the door. What did you hear Asuna? Trouble on the other side? He whispers before doing so.

Bruce doesn't find a formula book, but Skizzertz was carrying a wand.

Asuna listens to the argument on the other side of the door. There's two distinct voices, agitated, fighting over something:

"I think two goblins arguing over either food or their own butts?" Asuna whispers and moves back for the fighters to charge in.

hope someone has spellcraft. We could really use that wand :p. I can umd it if needed.

-Posted with Wayfinder

I have Spellcraft but lack the detect magic to identify it.

with a prestige upgrade you can get detect magic on your wayfinder. My alchemist uses it to great effect

-Posted with Wayfinder

That is pretty handy to know, I have an alchemist too. Can you tell me the name of the upgrade Asuna? Please. I believe the identify extract also works as detect magic for the alchemist.

Amir opens the door and moves inside guiding himself by his enemies's sounds.

Amir opens the door, and sees another room filled with blackness. Clearly, the two voices stop shouting. At least, they stop shouting at each other, as they scream
