Rysalius Starnon |
Rysalius looks badly hurt by the masterful spear strike from the gearman, but still stands. Seconds later, his wounds start closing thanks to Percy and his dragon's efforts.
31/48 hp, fast healing 1 for 9 more rounds. AC 22 since only one foe is adjacent.
Continuing to bellow his epic tale, he strikes the gearman that attacked him with his adamantine longsword, holding it with both hands.
Adamantine Longsword (2-handed, PA, AS, heroism, performance): 1d20 + 8 - 2 + 2 + 2 ⇒ (7) + 8 - 2 + 2 + 2 = 17
Hex of Fortune reroll: 1d20 + 8 - 2 + 2 + 2 ⇒ (6) + 8 - 2 + 2 + 2 = 16
Damage (in case a 17 hits...): 1d8 + 4 + 6 + 2 + 2 ⇒ (2) + 4 + 6 + 2 + 2 = 16
DM Kludde |
Rysalius valiantly strikes at the gearsman, but sadly swings wide.
The left gears man slams at the eidolon
Attack: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (15) + 9 = 241d4 + 7 ⇒ (3) + 7 = 10
while the other keeps up the attacks with his charged spear, this time attacking Bones
Attack: 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (17) + 10 = 271d8 + 6 + 1d6 ⇒ (5) + 6 + (6) = 17

32/48 hp, fast healing 1 for 8 more rounds. AC 22 since only one foe is adjacent.
Rysalius's voice echoes through the vaults of the Blakros museum, maintained by an unmatched love for music. The Baron brings down his sword again, eager to finish that part of the tale he's living.
Adamantine Longsword (2-handed, PA, AS, inspire, heroism): 1d20 + 8 - 2 + 2 + 2 ⇒ (11) + 8 - 2 + 2 + 2 = 211d8 + 4 + 6 + 2 + 2 ⇒ (8) + 4 + 6 + 2 + 2 = 22
Adamantine bypasses hardness lower than 20.

Rysalius strikes with a satisfying crunk - on the beat too - leaving the gearsman almost destroyed. Almost.

Rhanloi, having used his only electrical spell, decides to try fire this time, and casts burning hands at the two gearsmen. He takes care not to catch his partners in the cone of flame, though...
Damage: 3d4 + 1 ⇒ (2, 4, 4) + 1 = 11
Maeglin Seregos |
Invisible Maeglis said several words of arcane and touched Gorazio inspiring him.
Lesser Rejuvenate: 1d10 + 2 ⇒ (9) + 2 = 11
Gorazio decided to finish unfinished job of Rysalius and attacked severely damaged one.
Attack with cold iron spear: 1d20 + 6 + 2 + 1 ⇒ (12) + 6 + 2 + 1 = 21 damage: 1d8 + 4 + 2 ⇒ (1) + 4 + 2 = 7
After that - he and Maeglin stepped aside: Gorazio not to be fighting both gearmen once, Maeglin because invisible he still was afraid of another crushing blow coming.
Castien Galondiir |
Frustrated by his lack of success thus far, Castien sets his mind to the task and tries again.
Full-round action: Attack western guardian (rapid shot)
Attack (Composite Longbow (+2 Str), Point Blank Shot, Rapid Shot, Inspire Courage, Bless): 1d20 + 7 + 1 - 2 + 2 + 1 ⇒ (6) + 7 + 1 - 2 + 2 + 1 = 15
Damage (Composite Longbow (+2 Str), Point Blank Shot, Inspire Courage): 1d8 + 2 + 1 + 2 ⇒ (8) + 2 + 1 + 2 = 13
Attack (Composite Longbow (+2 Str), Point Blank Shot, Rapid Shot, Inspire Courage, Bless): 1d20 + 7 + 1 - 2 + 1 ⇒ (17) + 7 + 1 - 2 + 1 = 24
Damage (Composite Longbow (+2 Str), Point Blank Shot, Inspire Courage): 1d8 + 2 + 1 + 2 ⇒ (6) + 2 + 1 + 2 = 11

RFX: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (19) + 2 = 21
RFX: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (5) + 2 = 7
Rhanloi's cone of flame catches one gearsman off-guard, and burns some circuitry. Gorazio spear-thrust hits, but fails to do any damage to the extremely hard creature. Castien's arrows prove to be more true this time: the second one hits, and does some minimal damage.

-Posted with Wayfinder
DM Kludde |
@Castien: yes, that makes a difference. Damage updated!
Percy adds a touch of healing magic while the dwarf turns himself into a one-man fortress...
..that the gearsman try to besiege. The gearsman without a spear manages to slam the defending dwarf, who has complete focus on evading the lightning-tipped spear stab of the other gearsman.
Attack: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (14) + 9 = 231d4 + 7 ⇒ (3) + 7 = 10

DM Kludde |
Another volley of arrow fly around the gearsman's head. One plinks harmlessly off the robot's armour, but the second cuts straight through it, and causes some severe damage.
Hey, I don't know how much hintier I have to get, but this eastern guy has 1 hp left, and 24 hp of healing on tap...

"Gorazio, we need to bring at least one down", said Maeglin to his trusty companion, "I'll heal you if they hit you again"
Prepare wand of CLW and ready to cast "Lesser Rejuv." in case gearman damage Gorazio
Gorazio, the Silver Spearman |
Using his mediocre acrobatic skills, Gorazio moved north to flank west gearman.
Acrobatics vs CMD: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (16) + 2 = 18
But stupid machine was damn fast and hit eidolon with all of its power.
AoO vs AC21: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (15) + 9 = 24 DMG: 1d4 + 7 ⇒ (4) + 7 = 11
Maeglin chanted several words being invisible and healed his eidolon once more, but this time even magic could not return all the force back to its body.
Maeglin's ready: 1d10 + 2 ⇒ (3) + 2 = 5
Taking better position, Gorazio swinged it spear to pierce, but was unsuccessful.
Attack (+bardic, bless, flank): 1d20 + 6 + 2 + 1 + 2 ⇒ (1) + 6 + 2 + 1 + 2 = 12 Damage (+bardic): 1d8 + 4 + 2 ⇒ (7) + 4 + 2 = 13
"Dwarf, go drop him", screamed Gorazio.
Bones FireHammer |
(curr HP 14/24)
Bones shaking his head "Not sure what good it'll do, but.." the dwarf rares back and swings at the machine that is flanked by the eidolon.
Warhammer flank+bless+bardic: 1d20 + 5 + 1 + 2 + 2 ⇒ (6) + 5 + 1 + 2 + 2 = 16
damage if hit: 1d8 + 2 + 2 ⇒ (5) + 2 + 2 = 9
DM Kludde |
Gorazio puts in a valiant effort to get to the flank of the gearsman, but unfortunately pays the price for it. Bones takes the opportunity to swing from a flanking position, but his luck seems to have abandoned him.
The western gearsman takes a slam at Gorazio, which the eidolon swiftly dodges.
Attack: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (5) + 9 = 14
The other gearsman then shudders and shakes, and in horror the party watches as it rejuvenates before their eyes...

Rysalius Starnon |
Rysalius sighs, then strikes again, hoping his voice can make his companions acted more focused. Continuing performance
He steps out of the gearman's reach, incurring his wrath, to engage the other one before it repairs as well. Attacking the most damaged one, the right one can take an AoO against me, AC 22.
Adamantine Longsword (2-handed, PA, AS, heroism, inspire): 1d20 + 8 - 2 + 2 + 2 ⇒ (12) + 8 - 2 + 2 + 2 = 221d8 + 4 + 6 + 2 + 2 ⇒ (5) + 4 + 6 + 2 + 2 = 19
Maeglin Seregos |
Maeglin moved behind eidolon back and touched his friend speaking words of magic: "Fear not my friend, we need to overcome those machines."
Cast CLW: 1d8 + 1 ⇒ (8) + 1 = 9
Because of Share Healing, Gorazio recovers 4hp, Maeglin gets 5hp
Gorazio, the Silver Spearman |
Gorazio felt himself better. As his weapon was ineffective, he started to distract gearmen to protect his allies.
Aid Another (+bardic, bless, flank): 1d20 + 6 + 2 + 1 + 2 ⇒ (7) + 6 + 2 + 1 + 2 = 18
Rysalius gets +2 AC vs west gearman
Rhanloi |
Rhanloi mutters an elvish curse, then sends another scorching ray at the western gearsman in the hopes of finishing at least one of them off!
Scorching Ray ranged touch attack: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (10) + 3 = 13 . (Are we all blessed? If yes, please add appropriate bonus =)
Damage: 4d6 + 1 ⇒ (1, 2, 2, 1) + 1 = 7
Bones FireHammer |
yes there is a bless in effect.
Bones feels fully healed from from the cure light as he steps back (SW) and cast strength on Rysalius. +4 str, +2 to hit & +2 dam
-Posted with Wayfinder
Rysalius Starnon |
Rysalius emits a dragon-like roar as sheer might flows into him!
Since Rysalius wields his longsword with both hands, it's actually +3 to damage (from 17 (+4 dmg) to 21 (+7 dmg)).
Castien Galondiir |
Castien takes a breath, steadies his hands once more, and fires two more adamantium-blanced arrows at the two machines, smiling as he sees them both strike true.
Full-round action: Attack western guardian (rapid shot)
Attack (Composite Longbow (+2 Str), Point Blank Shot, Rapid Shot, Inspire Courage, Bless): 1d20 + 7 + 1 - 2 + 2 + 1 ⇒ (17) + 7 + 1 - 2 + 2 + 1 = 26

DM Kludde |
Rysalius frantically smacks the western gearsman, and cleaves of its lancing arm, sending a jolt of sparks down the creature. A brief pop, and the gearsman emits white smoke.
Rhanloiu hits the second gearsman with another scorching ray, just as it is pierced by two blanched arrows from Castien's quiver. The first pierces an eyes, sending forth another series of sparks, while the second hits just below the armour plating of the shoulder, causing a loud BANG of an explosion. After that, the second gearsman also falls silent.
Combat over!
Rhanloi |
"Those were harder to bring down than a mother polar bear protecting her cubs!" Rhanloi exclaims. He proceeds to check around the room for any clues or useful gear, knowing his normal arrows might have little impact on the metal creations...
Perception: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (19) + 6 = 25
DM Kludde |
Rhanloi's thorough search doesn't reveal anything out of the ordinary in this room - even though Nigel is known to hide supplies in hidden compartments throughout the museum. He keeps them well-hidden, though.
Rysalius Starnon |
Rysalius nods at Rhanloi's words and adds. "We need to act as one next time, focusing on the same golem to bring them down one after the other. However, our heroism prevailed and everyone's still alive, which is the most important thing. Let's move on quickly, lest our empowering spells fade quickly."
DM Kludde |
Where Rhanloi was unable to find anything special in this room, Bones' Vantage point allows him to see something special in the base of the statue of Aroden. A small supply cache is hidden here, which contains
- a healer’s kit
- three doses of bloodblock
- two doses of antitoxin
- two doses of antiplague
- a potion of cure moderate wounds
- a wand of remove disease (14 charges)
What door do you want to take?
Rysalius Starnon |
Rysalius opens the door Percy shows, blade in hand.
Maeglin Seregos |
Maeglin touched Gorazio: "We fought well, for a common goal. Let's keep on doing that."
And after that he casted curation spell again.
1d8 + 1 ⇒ (4) + 1 = 5 Maeglin gets 3hp, Gorazio 2hp
DM Kludde |
The door open up to the recently renovated grand exhibition hall of the museum. This enormous gallery stretches beneath a high arched ceiling. A grand staircase rises to the north and a pair of mahogany doors stand to the south carved in a relief of one of Absalom’s countless sieges. At the room’s center, a gleaming collection of glass and metal—like some sort of abstract bird—rises upon a single steel support toward the ceiling. A number of glass cases lining the walls have been shattered, scattering strange devices and clockwork limbs amid the broken glass.
Seven bodies litter the floor; four in black robes and three dressed in respectable local fashions. A smoky haze still fills the air.
Rysalius Starnon |
Rysalius covers his mouth with a silk handkerchief before he steps into the room. He sifts through the broken cases with caution, looking for anything of interest - preferably the contraption he's been told about earlier.
Perception: 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (6) + 10 = 16
DM Kludde |
Rysalius steps into the main hall to investigate the display cases, only to find an arrow whizzing past his head. It came form the direction of the abstract bird, somewhere up. A voice cries out “You get the hell out of here, you freak!”
Rysalius Starnon |
Rysalius takes cover behind a piece of furniture, trying to assess and identify the threat. Total cover if possible.
"I'm no freak, I am Baron Rysalius Starnon, retainer of Lady Gloriana Morilla and former general of Taldor's first army of exploration. Name yourself and your intentions!"
Diplomacy, heroism: 1d20 + 7 + 2 ⇒ (6) + 7 + 2 = 15
DM Kludde |
No, you're just that silver slime that slithered into that poor kid’s body. Keep away from me, keep away!
Rysalius takes cover behind a display. The origin of the sound is now clear: it's from up the metallic structure, 20 feet above the museum floor ( And DC 25 Climb to reach). Up there is a frightened woman, waving a kind of stringless crossbow.
Rhanloi |
"We are not silver slime...we are here to rescue you from this nightmare! Did you not hear us battling the two metal men in the entryway just now? Now calm down and tell us about this 'kid' and what happened to him. More importantly, where did he go?" Rhanloi speaks in his soothing tones, saved for young and frightened children and skittish ponies. Unfortunately, being short of breath from the battle it comes out more terse and forceful than he would have liked...
Diplomacy: 1d20 + 1 ⇒ (7) + 1 = 8
Bones FireHammer |
Bones gathers up the healing kit with all it's potions, doses and wand to bring along, but seeing the bodies littering the floor, "Little late for them."
The dwarf looks around as he tries to talk sense into the woman "We are not some silver slime, Please stop shooting at up and tell what you know it might help!"
perception: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (19) + 9 = 28

The woman panics So... many.. of.. them... Clearly the words of the pathfinders have no effect, and she keep aiming for whoever tries as much as a step in her direction.
The invisible faerie dragon get a better view of the woman. She must be one of the technic league, and she's holding some sort of Numerian device.
