DM-Camris' IRON GODS Part 1: The Fires of Creation (Inactive)

Game Master Camris

"Lily, let's keep together! Let's try try to get through this door."

Round 2_____

Notorious Flynn Ryder_____
"Lily, I don't think we should chase him. I'll check this junk pile to make sure there aren't anymore, then let's see if we can pass this door. Sound good guys?
"I don't even see where he could have hidden in the first place, but there aren't anymore in here."
Flynn has horrible rogue skill rolls, lol

Doctor Rhaym_____
"That will be enough of that, vermin." He declared.
The doctor pulled out a catalyst, popped it into a bomb shell, tapped it sharply to start it fizzing, and threw it at the Jinkin.
Bomb throw: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (12) + 3 = 15 Direct hit! dealing 1d6 + 4 ⇒ (3) + 4 = 7 fire to the target and 5 fire to all surrounding squares.
The original gremlin shrieks as it burns to ash. Two other gremlins, injured by the bomb, burst from concealment frantically beating out the flames.

Lilly Peregrine_____
Lilly pursues, attempting to swing at the little bastard now that he had been scorched by the Doc's bomb.
Hitting one of the Jinkins, Lilly’s sword rebounded off of its flesh, leaving it only scratched.

Round 3__________

Players take their turn in order of posting. Enemies will go last.

TACTICAL SITUATION

Knowledge:Arcana: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (12) + 8 = 20
Rhaym's eyes widened at Lillys sword being deflected.
"Blast the luck! They are fey; some manner of gremlin! We need cold iron to beat it! Or a great deal of force!"
He starts rummaging through his bag.

Celest grabs her cold iron dagger and rises. "Woah! wad I miss?"

"You almost dying, the doc saving your life, Lily finding out why cold iron is a requirement, and now . . . "

Disable device/gain entry to the door: 1d20 + 5 + 2 ⇒ (3) + 5 + 2 = 10

"You are about . . . to witness . . . Damn it! Come on!"

"Well if you are done resting over there, get over here and help me with this damn door thing."

"What in all the Nine Hells do you think I know about locks?! That's why I got you the dohickies. So do-hickey!"

Suddenly nearly surrounded, Lilly steps back and right (up and right on the map), then attacks the...thing...that is upon her.

Longsword: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (15) + 4 = 19
Damage: 1d8 + 3 ⇒ (5) + 3 = 8

The frustrated rogue gestures with his thieves tools.

"Son-of-a! Would someone hand her a coldiron weapon please. For gods sakes we are going to pull a repeat of last time."

"And button up your damn top Celest! Can't you see you're distracting me with your . . . Flesh weapons! A guy is trying to concentrate over here!"

"You idiot! Give me that spear if you're not gonna use it!"

Round 3__________

Doctor Rhaym_______
Rhaym's eyes widened at Lillys sword being deflected.

Celest Slysword_____
Celest grabs her cold iron dagger and rises. "Woah! wad I miss?"

Notorious Flynn Ryder_____
"You almost dying, the doc saving your life, Lily finding out why cold iron is a requirement, and now . . . "
Fiddling with the portal, Flynn is utterly stymied with this kind of door.
"You are about . . . to witness . . . Damn it! Come on!"
"Well if you are done resting over there, get over here and help me with this damn door thing."

Celest Slysword_____
"What in all the Nine Hells do you think I know about locks?! That's why I got you the dohickies. So do-hickey!"

Lilly Peregrine_____
Suddenly nearly surrounded, Lilly steps back and right (up and right on the map), then attacks the...thing...that is upon her.
Again hitting the little fey, she leaves but a minor wound. Still, the creature feels it and turns a viscous glare upon her.

Enemies__________

One of the jinkins rolled behind Lily and backstabbed her…
Needle flank attack: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (16) + 5 = 21 Hit! for 1d3 - 1 + 1d6 ⇒ (2) - 1 + (4) = 5 filthy piercing damage.
While the one in front of her backstabbed Lily from the front.
Needle flank attack: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (11) + 5 = 16 but it missed as she parried.

Meanwhile, another Jinkin appeared out of nowhere to backstab Flynn while he was occupied with the mechanism.
Needle attack vs. Flat Footed: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (11) + 5 = 16 Hit! for 1d3 - 1 + 1d6 ⇒ (2) - 1 + (2) = 3 filthy piercing damage.

Round 4__________

Players take their turn in order of posting, enemies will go last.

TACTICAL SITUATION

Backstab the one north of Lil (with flanking): 1d20 + 4 + 2 ⇒ (8) + 4 + 2 = 14
Cold iron damage: 1d4 + 2 ⇒ (4) + 2 = 6 + Backstab: 1d6 ⇒ 2

"Ow! You little filthy bastard!"

Flynn retaliates with a spear thrust.

1d20 + 4 ⇒ (14) + 4 = 18 20 if doc counts as flanker
1d6 + 1 ⇒ (2) + 1 = 3

1d6 ⇒ 4 additional if doc counts as flanker

The warpriestess, in major trouble, lashes out with her blade, hoping to still at least one of the little bastards.

Longsword, flank: 1d20 + 4 + 2 ⇒ (14) + 4 + 2 = 20
Damage: 1d8 + 3 ⇒ (4) + 3 = 7

Lilly continues stepping back, trying to escape the dangerous flank the little creatures have caught her in (up and right).

Round 4__________

Celest Slysword_____
Backstab the one north of Lil (with flanking): But it ducked just in time.

Notorious Flynn Ryder_____
Flynn retaliates with a spear thrust.
Flynn is gratified to see his blow land, only to see it’s rubbery skin absorb all the damage.

Lilly Peregrine_____
The warpriestess, in major trouble, lashes out with her blade, hoping to still at least one of the little bastards.
She managed to land a blow with enough power to penetrate the skin of the wounded on. It is cut down.
Lilly continues stepping back, trying to escape the dangerous flank the little creatures have caught her in (up and right).

Rhaym_____
Rhaym attacks with his staff.
Flank staff attack: 1d20 + 0 + 2 ⇒ (4) + 0 + 2 = 6 But he missed wildly.

Enemies__________
One of the jinkins wrinkled its nose at Celest, snarled and attacked her…
Needle attack: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (18) + 5 = 23 for a possible 1d3 - 1 ⇒ (2) - 1 = 1 filthy piercing damage.

Meanwhile, the other Jinkin popped up to attack Flynn again.
Needle attack: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (12) + 5 = 17 for a possible 1d3 - 1 ⇒ (2) - 1 = 1 filthy piercing damage.

Round 5__________

Players take their turn in order of posting. Enemies will go last.

TACTICAL SITUATION

Celest moves up to I4, and feints the beastie.
Bluff: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (17) + 5 = 22

Camris, my spear is cold iron. Did he shrug that off still?

"Ow!"

"I'm going to impale you little s$*$s!"

1d20 + 4 + 2 ⇒ (13) + 4 + 2 = 19
1d6 + 1 + 1d6 ⇒ (3) + 1 + (2) = 6

Oh. It should be noted somewhere. In that case...
Your eyes played tricks on you; on closer look, the little gremlin is spitted on Flynn's longspear, clawing feebly at you as it died.

The skulks gave it to me. Can I use the other roll to help Lily?"

Flynn: Go ahead.

Lilly breathes a sigh of relief at the brief respite she has received, but grits her teeth determinedly, wading back in. She slashes at another of the beasts, hoping that through sheer force she can cut them down.

Longsword: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (2) + 4 = 6
Damage: 1d8 + 3 ⇒ (6) + 3 = 9

"Not to point out that anything as obvious as 'indiscretion is the better part of valor' or anything, but you could always run, Lil."

The one Celest is fightin' is so tiny he can't reach her to threaten her if she just leaves.

"Just sayin'."

"I already stabbed two! We should have gotten Lily a freaking cold iron weapon before we left town for crying out loud!"

"Toss her yours!"

"I need this thing! If you haven't noticed I seem to be the only one killing the things!"

Lilly grits her teeth, shaking her head. "Just kill the damned things, guys. I might not be able to hit them, but I'm also harder to hit."

"I need this thing! If you haven't noticed I seem to be the only one killing the things!"

"Then stop tryin' to kill the door, and kill them instead!"

"....I might not be able to hit them, but I'm also harder to hit."

"Uh, 'thank you?'

Lilly gives Celest an awkward grin as she tries to dodge the little creatures' attacks. "Yes, thank you. I'll buy you a drink later, if I'm not lying on top of this mound of junk."

"What are you waiting for? Kill them! Shouted Doctor Rhaym, boggled at the back and forth banter during the fight.
He opened a flask, popped in a catalyst, gave it a tap and threw it at the one attacking Celest.
Thrown bomb attack: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (4) + 3 = 7 Miss!
It lands 1d8 ⇒ 3 just left of the target and explodes. It deals 5 points fire damage to Lilly and the jinkin, and singes the hair on Celest's neck.

Round 5__________

Celest Slysword_____
Celest moves up to I4, and feints the beastie.
He falls for it.

Notorious Flynn Ryder_____
"Ow!"
"I'm going to impale you little s&$+s!"
Your eyes played tricks on you; on closer look, the little gremlin is spitted on Flynn's longspear, clawing feebly at you as it died.

Lilly Peregrine_____
Lilly breathes a sigh of relief at the brief respite she has received, but grits her teeth determinedly, wading back in. She slashes at another of the beasts, hoping that through sheer force she can cut them down.
But she missed.

Doctor Rhaym_____
"What are you waiting for? Kill them! Shouted Doctor Rhaym, boggled at the back and forth banter during the fight.
He opened a flask, popped in a catalyst, gave it a tap and threw it at the one attacking Celest.
Thrown bomb attack: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (4) + 3 = 7 Miss!
It lands 1d8 ⇒ 3 just left of the target and explodes. It deals 5 points fire damage to Lilly and the jinkin, and singes the hair on Celest’s neck.

Enemies_____
The little jinkin rolled into attack Celest again.
Jinkin needle attack: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (12) + 5 = 17 Hit! nicking her for 1d3 - 1 ⇒ (3) - 1 = 2 damage.

Round 6__________

Players take their turn in order of posting, enemies will go last.

TACTICAL SITUATION

"Holy s!+& Doc! Watch what you're doing! Jeez these little shots don't need anymore help!"

1d20 + 4 ⇒ (11) + 4 = 15
1d6 + 1 ⇒ (3) + 1 = 4

Awww, little fellow doesn't have a dexterity bonus to his AC.

STAB!: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (18) + 4 = 22
Cold Iron Death Metal: 1d4 + 2 + 1d6 ⇒ (4) + 2 + (6) = 12

Assuming that's enough to kill the thing (by the way are these all the same things?) Celest moves to J6 as she really doesn't have the movement, hit points or acrobatics chops to move where she needs to be.

"Lil, you oka--OH MY GODDESS. YOUR HAIR. Bwahahaha!!"

Celest spits the little guy on her blade. The thing squeels and stiffens; it's claws lash out in one last swipe, falling just short of her nose, then it sags in death.

The battle is over.

In the silence that follows, Doctor Rhaym straightened up, went over to Lilly and offered her a potion of Cure Light wounds (1d8+3).
"Ah, yes. I do apologize for the near miss." He said, looking everywhere but her.

Celest spits the little guy on her blade. The thing squeels and stiffens; it's claws lash out in one last swipe, falling just short of her nose, then it sags in death.

The battle is over.

What about all the other triangles? Or did you mean that particular battle is over?

Those black triangles are the dead bodies of the other gremlins.
I meant that this battle in this room is over; and in fact after a little checking around, you conclude that the gremlin infestation has been cleared.

The warpriestess quaffs the potion with a grateful smile to Doc.

CLW: 1d8 + 3 ⇒ (6) + 3 = 9

She then turns to the others, her manner apologetic. "I'm sorry...I should have listened but I figured that such a little creature surely couldn't be dangerous. I will endeavor to do better next time."

Ready to go to the next doors!

Celest loots the tiny bodies. And casts about for treasure in the ruin.

Perception: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (11) + 4 = 15

"Hey you've got big . . . ummmm . . . well I was gonna say balls for, but uh, what I'm saying is that took a lot of courage Lily. If you weren't engaging those little twerps for us we might all be dead right now."

"Well then. Let us return to the head skulk for the promised reward." Rhaym said, snapping his case shut.
"I don't believe we'll be able to do anything with this door;" He said, gesturing vaguely at the circular portal. "Flynn proved it cannot be opened."

You make your way back to where the skulks await your report.

Rhaym bowed before the skulk leader.
"The jinkin gremlins have been dealt with. I cannot guarantee we found all the traps though." He said. "You mentioned something about a reward?"

Hopefully the reward is payola and not a knife in the back. I don't feel like getting buckwheated and dumped in a dumpster behind a two bit brothel by these Skulks.
