I'm a bit nervous about these robots!
Attack roll 18 doesn't hit, hardness 10, and they hit really really hard!
Since by hp is supplemented by rage, might have to retreat action next round or I might risk death.
Not sure what garduk plans for action, but my preference is to misfortune my current target if applicable, else misfortune of the greased weapon would seem appropriate.

Adamantine is costly at this level. Worth it with things like this to contend with of course, but costly.
As Brayne says, this is a really tough fight. I have no way to do the kind of damage needed to be effective unless I crit, so can grease again on my next turn to try and drop one to the ground or disarm it, or heal, and I think a heal will be needed.
We will see how things progress after Garduk acts.

I don't think so. Marty the Mud Elemental has a fancy schmancy "entrap" attack that might be useful, but he still has to hit with his ordinary slam attack, and the robot's immunity to anything that requires a Fortitude save may mean it wouldn't work anyway. Garduk can certainly summon a flanking buddy for you, but it probably won't accomplish anything on its own.
UNLESS - Garduk could summon Larry the Lightning Elemental. Neither Veres nor I asked about vulnerabilities - I don't suppose the robot might be vulnerable to an overload?
I was also thinking Garduk might run over to the doors in the corner where he cast grease and try to get the robot to chase him through the slippery patch. But it could also just avoid it and corner him. Veres, if you can get over there and expand the patch, that might be more likely to work.
Garduk could try casting Snowball - touch AC probably isn't that bad, so even with the -4 penalty for shooting into melee, with Veres's song he would have a decent chance to hit, and would do 3d6 damage, which might possibly barely get past the hardness.
One more level and I'd have taken Create Pit, darn it.
Also - BRAYNE! You could have told Garduk you weren't wearing your armor! He would absolutely have given you a shot from his wand - that's what the darn thing is for.

All right, I’m convinced - best use of this round is getting Kulga a flanking buddy, even if it can’t do any damage itself. I’d try the lightning elemental, but I’m worried it would just end up recharging the things, and we may need the higher level summons later. So Piotr it is - at least he’s a bag of HP, and has electricity resistance 5. He could conceivably last more than one round. Kulga will need to 5-foot step to get into flanking position - the statue is in the way.
I’ll get the post up in about an hour.

I'm going to have to retreat most likely this round, with my rage stopped, will likely not be able to contribute to dmg.
I'm hoping kulga takes down the golem hard soon so at least it's only one to worry about. I'll come back in with my cure wand just feeding Kulga to keep her up as she keeps hitting the creature.
But if the creature doesn't go down fast, we may have to consider full withdrawal for now.
Still can't get over hardness w/10!!!!

For Christmas this year, a high school buddy sent me all of my old AD&D books! You can tell which books I used and which ones I looked at once after I got them and then left on the shelf.
I had long since forgotten what I did with these books. Apparently, 25-30 years ago I gave them to the younger brother of his then-girlfriend (now his wife), who hung onto to them all this time. I suspect he didn’t use them much - all of that wear and tear, including the masking tape, was how they looked when I gave them up.

I am going to be very embarrassed here, but I completely forgot about those. I will bet I took them...let me just look in my pack... yep... I have shock arrows sitting right there.
I will be moving away in shame... I mean moving away to get some distance and shooting on my next turn. We also have a gun.

Quick Edit - almost forgot!
Before they depart they add. Oh did Nigel tell you about the secret cache of emergency supplies in the statue of Aroden?
You go and check and although it very hard to find, you eventually do. Within are a healer’s kit, three doses of bloodblock, two doses of antitoxin, two doses of antiplague, a potion of cure moderate wounds, and a wand of remove disease (14 charges)
These maybe handy too. I also re-read when the men were talking about the hazard crate from Numeria being opened and the silver goo getting free. If it isn't broken, and just open, we might be able to "put the genie back in the bottle" so to speak. We would need to run away, luring it after us. Then maybe use the wand of remove disease to make sure any remnants of it are cleansed from the boy, and possibly us.

For the record, I (Jared, the player) would not personally choose to summon a living creature from the Great Beyond only to use it as bait for a horrific swarm of extra-terrestrial nanobots. I'm pretty sure Garduk doesn't have quite so many reservations about the tactic, though.
Also, we should remember to use that wand of remove disease to cure Brayne's tumors before the end of the scenario if we can.

Won’t be the first time imaginary living creatures were summoned for bait. Definitely won’t think ill of you.
Was going to try to fast forward ahead in the action, but as the goo has the same speed as Kulga. Wanted to see what strategy you guys had to give her an advantage as you head to the first floor, that should work fine.
