Olimpia 5' steps back and tries to finish off White while moving to better protect Dilana.
Olimpia's strike just misses the now gaseous enemy.
White
She fails her will save and is subject to misfortune. She then attempts to fly away from the fight, trusting her gaseous state to keep her from harm.
Olimpia may have an AOO on White
Everyone else can now have their actions.
Raktar drops his bow now that Roga has smashed through the barricade, then moves up quickly while drawing his hammer. He uses the momentum of his rush to his advantage, his hammer describing a huge arc towards the nearest Smiler.
This time Olimpia's blade finds purchase in the misty rogue, who returns to solidity and slumps dead to the ground.
Raktar drops his bow, unslings his fearsome weapon and smashes Magenta into a bloody mess.
Roga steps forward and swings at Green.
Wounding him badly.
JJ takes careful aim and shots at Green as well.
Ending Greens life.
Figgy, still Cyan to deal with.
Dilana & Olimpia can both hear yells and footsteps hurrying your way from around the bend.
Dilana lands near the wall and gets ready to cast a spell at the new arrivals.
Olimpia moves to the shadows of the wall, casting a shield spell, and hides there.
Figgy moves up pulling out one of the new grenades that they got.
"Let me try this before we all move up."
Having been completely ignored Cyan yells out a warning to his approaching comrades, stepping forward to deal with the now grounded flyer. Who he believes to be a spell caster.
Three more thugs run around the corner and head for the fight.
Purple manages to see Olimpia and yells in surprise.
Their boss Yellow, having let his minions go first comes around the corner more cautiously.
The party may now act.
Why did I land!!
Traped between a rock and a cyan place Dilana falls back on an old stand-by.
"দৈবদুর্বিপাক"
Figgy switches up his bombs, throwing an explosive he made this morning at the Thug attacking Dilana
"They are all much to close to the enemies for me to use this." Figgy holds up a grenade showing Springy. "You are all to Close to the enemy for my liking." Figgy tells Dilana and Olimpia
Seeing an enemy that looks like a boss Dianna goes for him/her hoping to catch them by surprise.
Raktar steps over the smear that used to be his opponent and sees Dilana trapped against the wall by another ganger. He waits until Figgy has lobbed his explosive before rushing forward, his hammer crashing down toward Dilana's attacker.
Cyan is still screaming from the flames burning him that Figgy gifted him, when Raktar steps up and puts him out of his misery.
Roga advances on Purple.
JJ shoots Purple.
Yellow squeals as Olimpia blindsides him. Stepping back and shooting her with his Double barreled pistol.
His shot going pathetically wide as his hands shake.
Red & Orange both run at Roga, their heavy clubs swinging.
With meaty thuds their blows stagger Roga.
The party may now act.
Raktar steps over another corpse, interposing himself between Dilana and a club-wielding Smiler who is too focused on Roga to notice Raktar's hammer coming at him like a runaway cart.
Seeing Raktar swing his hammer Dilana takes a step back to avoid the expected gore to follow. Fixing her eyes on the attacker in red who is harassing Roga she attempts to lower his defenses while a small laugh escapes her lips..
Figgy moves up 20' not really sure what to do at the moment.
Olimpia steps up, pinning Yellow against the wall, and full attacks the man. One attack strikes true. I do NOT like being shot at!
Raktar vaporizes Orange with a truly horrendous blow.
Roga gives Raktar an appreciative nod and swings at Red
JJ continues his tactic of shooting the ones softened up by Roga.
Ending his life.
Silence slowly returns as the last of your enemies is dispatched by Olimpia.
What are you doing now?
Silence finally descends and Raktar looks down to see himself covered in blood. How did I get here? he wonders to himself, before remembering all the horrible things done by the servants of Hellion, and how he had sworn to see the upstart god brought down.
He shakes himself out of his preoccupation and looks around at his friends. "We should push on while out magic is still strong, and before the Smilers get chance to reinforce."
"Blow open the door and head in?" Figgy looks a bit excited at blowing something up, "Maybe they have some new technology hidden away in there."
Olmpia helps collect the loot, pausing at the slippers. We, these could be useful. Anyone mind if I wear them, at least for now.
Having stripped the corpses you advance cautiously through the winding path, reaching the entrance to the Smilers base without further opposition.
The ridge of refuse and junk is sheer here, like the face of a cliff. A gray metal wall sits at the base of the cliff, with a sizable metallic deck protruding south from its surface. This open-air deck is sheltered by a ragged awning of furs and scrap. Metallic double doors sit in the center of the metal wall, and above these doors protrudes a metallic
armature of some sort with what appears to be a tube-shaped device fitted with a red crystal extending from the tip . A few scorch marks mar the
deck's surface here and there.
What are you doing now?
"What's that?" Raktar asks, pointing at the crystal-tipped device. "Looks like a wand or something," he muses, concerned that it might represent a trap or defence.
Looks like I am up. Figgy, want to help?
Olimpia carefully approached the door, checking for traps.
As Olimpia steps cautiously onto the landing the armature reacts, now you can see it is some form of robotic arm clutching a weapon. It fires at her.
One shot scorches the landing, the other hits Olimpia.
What are you doing now?
Figgy jumps back as Olimpia approaches and starts to get shot at.
"Sorry I was to slow to help."
Figgy moves up after the device shots to see if he can take it apart.
"Gahhh!" .
Out of reflex Dilana fires a crossbow bolt at the... whatever and then drops prone.
"A trap with a built in gun?"
Olimpai moves to the thing and tries to disable it, taking 10.
"I bloody knew it," Raktar says with only a hint of triumph, given that thing shot his friend.
As Figgy steps up onto the landing the armature swivels and shoots at him.
Take 18 points of fire damage Figgy.
After that the armature keeps moving and tries to fire, but the weapon it is holding just clicks futilely, it has used all it's charges. Olimpia is able to dismantle it easily now.
Loot.
1 Laser rifle (Timeworn)
Tellingly the door remains closed, no one has come to investigate the defense going active?
Figgy again jumps back as the laser bolts hit him.
"Stupid gun, it looked like it was done, grrrr....I wonder if I can make a shield to stop those?" Figgy trails off as he jabs himself with the needle gun he has.

Figgy then pulls out the Nanite canister, "This looks promising." as he drinks it.
Well, that was unpleasant. Olympia says. Can we get some healing before I try the door?
Figgy Hands Olimpia a potion, "Drink this, Or I can stick you with this!" Figgy holds up the Med Lance.
Smiling her thanks Olympia downs the potion.
Dilana goes up and examines the creature, extending her hand so Lancelot can look as well. After a moment she shrugs.
"Figgy, when this is all done can you make me one for my shop? Seems like it would not only keep watch at night but would attract people duing the day."
"I could try yes
Roga offered up his healing stick but handed to Dilana who had used it reliably on him in the past.
"This should help as well, Olimpia."
-----------
Not wanting to be wounded when the group enters the complex Olimpia accepts a charge from Roga's wand. The curing closes her would completely. She then turns her attention to the door checking it for traps before trying to open it.
"We'd better get ourselves ready before we go in," Raktar suggests. "I don't think they're going to make this easy for us, and I bet that trap has let them know we're coming."
Raktar gathers the group and channels his magic, causing his scars to glow from within.
Figgy and Springy march up to the doors.
"While they talk we will look at these doors."
The doors are familiar to you from your time under Black hill. Unlike the doors you encountered in the ruins though, these are unpowered, crude hand grips have been wielded to the doors to let them be opened. Olimpia easily notes they are neither trapped, or locked.
She also easily hears the sounds of people waiting on the other side, alerted by the trap going off.
What are you doing now?
Raktar grips his hammer and stands ready, his magic controlled like a dormant forge waiting to be awakened by the fire of combat.
Once everyone is ready, he takes up position at one of the doors, gripping the handle ready to haul it open once the signal to attack is given.
