Alexis casts daze on the nearest orc, making sure to be out of any opportunity attacks.
DC 14 will save or be dazed for one round
Iophiel starts to fade, when, by Valt's sheer will of power, the angelic criature stays on our world, but the summoners pays the toll.
Then, moves behind Iophiel, and giver her some magic energy.
Guidance on Iophiel.
Iophiel's sword hits and makes a cut against the gargoyle's skin.
The enemies ignore Alexis as she doesn't seem to be fighting them effectively with spell or sword. The orcs swing at their opponents. Kraig's orc's body grows limp after its attack. It is dead. After swinging at the eidolon and causing it to disappear again, the gargoyle stays the rest of its attacks.
A bolt stabs into Valt's thigh. The remaining orc's weapon strikes ineffectually at Nyssa's armor. Nortmog dodges the bolt shot at him.
Kraig draws one of his spears and throws it at ratfolk A. The ratfolk were the real threat, probably the masterminds.
Nyssa presses the attack against the orc hoping to end his misery in the daily drudgery of modern life.
"Maybe I am a farmer! Raisin' some cane up in heah!" Nyssa tells the orc with a savage tone in her voice.
The ratfolk dodges out of the way of the spears. It strikes the strange double doors cracking one of the red lights.
With a critical attack, Nyssa swings her blade and takes out the orc. The weapon severs its head from its neck.
Nortmog fires his bullet at the ratfolk that tried to shoot him. "My dragon fangs are better than your crossbow, rat!"
Alexis steps in to strike at a rat folk
arcane strike ticking
Alexis jabs at the more wounded ratfolk and it yelps, then dies before it hits the ground.
As Iophiel finally vanishes, another creature comes to help the summoner, made of debris stone and earth. The elemental quickly slams the demon-like creature.
The gargoyle tries to savage the earth elemental, using its claws, horns and fangs. It breaks down, being softer than the gargoyle's stone. The leftover ratfolk reloads his weapon and fires at Valt. The bolt grazes his hand and makes a cut between his thumb and forefinger.
Nortmog is busy reloading his stupid musket. He grumbles as he does so, switching views between it, and the other ratfolk.
Kraig is really glad Valt is here to throw (hopefully) disposable creatures at the gargoyle. They aren't real animals, are they? Kraig positions to assist Nyssa with her orc.
Kraig hits the dead orc with a shield making sure that it doesn't move like his did. It doesn't.
As the earth elemental crumbles, Valt infuses it with more energy from its native plane, giving a new life to the creature. The renewed elemental slams the gargoyle again.
Nyssa maneuvers to attack the nearest Ratfolk. She hopes Valt's magical friends can keep the stony demon busy for just a bit longer.
Alexis strikes at ratfolk B, arcane strike humming
The earth elemental strikes the gargoyle, but is punch likes any strength to it. The monstrous creature shrugs off the damage.
Nyssa slashes at the ratfolk, she misses. Alexis, with some luck, strikes the ratfolk in the throat. It gurgles and flails its arms uselessly before it slides off Alexis' weapon.
The gargoyle assaults the earth elemental with a furious barrage of claws and horns.
The earth elemental slams the gargoyle again, but the attack is futile agains the creature defenses.
Seeing this, Valt moves towards Kraig, and tries to heal him a bit.
I hope this helps you a bit, Kraig.
Renewed strength surges through Kraig. "Yes! The time of destruction is upon you!"
Nyssa charges the gargoyle, her eyes changing to a golden hue as she calls on the elemental power of earth. Yellowish green fluid sheathes the blade of her sword as she strikes at the gargoyle.
Kraig grabs onto the gargoyle's waist and arm, making it easier to hit the beast. Despite the distraction, Nyssa charges and misses the creature, nearly cutting into Kraig with her glowing longsword.
Nortmog fires a bullet at the gargoyle, realizing that it probably won't do anything to its tough flesh, unless he hits just the right spot. It bounces off harmlessly. "I need to stock up on some magic bullets, er fangs."
The gargoyle allows Kraig to hold onto him, and strikes at Kraig with most of his attacks, except for his held arm. It digs its claw and stabs into Kraig's shoulder with a dip and raise of its horns.
Nortmog reloads his musket. He waggles his tail as he does so.
Kraig tries to pin the beast now that he has a good hold on it.
"Argh! Flesh beats stone!"
Nyssa attacks again, the blade of her sword still sizzling with acidic energy.
Kraig pins the stone creature, wrapping his arms around his wings and stony arms. Nyssa swings her blade, but turns it away at the last moment to avoid cutting Kraig again.
Now that the gargoyle is hold, the elemental slams it with full force, decided to finish it.
Valt moves near Kraig again, and tries to heal him again, as the warrior gets more and more wounds.
Getting into a grapple with a demon-like creature with fangs horns and claws is a thing only you dare to do, Kraig.
The earth elemental crashes its fists into the gargoyle. The beast lets out a pained roar before collapsing to the ground.
The room shakes violently, and the red lights surrounding the double doors seem to blink faster. A deep rumbling escapes from the room beyond.
"I have to practice my therapeutic massage technique on someone, Valt. Nyssa never volunteers. How much time was left on that bomb thing?"
Not really sure, but we must spend a couple minutes to heal.
good!
fumble!
good!
good!
good!
good!
"Don't know, we'd better hurry all we can." Nyssa waits for Valt to use the wand then leads the way into the next room.
"This looks like a boss room. Hope you guys are prepared."
He loads an adamantine bullet into the musket. "It's good to start strong. Get my good bites out of the way first."
Nyssa slides the white keycard in the dark doors. The lights surrounding them continue to flash and the doors slide open.
Panels of blinking lights and machinery line the walls of this chamber, but the true spectacle here is the massive machine of metal that looms against the far wall on a ten-foot- high platform. Two immense cylinders of pulsing violet light throb at the machine's core, while above a thinner cylinder extends through the ceiling.
Ladders to the north and south provide access to the machine's platform; while at the center, a smaller machine with several metal spikes protruding from its heart extends from the larger one. The entire room vibrates with a roaring thunder, and the air feels strangely alive, almost as if it were vibrating as well.
There is a machine on the ground level, it hovers a few feet above the ground. You recognize it as a Robot Collector, the one with the rotors and spindly fingers.
On the platform in the back of the room, is a purple haired woman . Her eyes are pink and she has bright pink tattoos like circuitry on her skin. She has a red gun pointed at the door.
"Leave. Now." she shouts over the humming of the large machine.
Excuse us, lady, but there is an imminent explosion, and we have come here to prevent it. We are not interesed on your prospection for goods and materials, just to try and save the whole town, and your life, as you are in the explosion's range.
Please, not only the whole caves will get destroyed, but all the lives in the town and, of course, yours. Let us try to fix it.
She turns her inhuman eyes on Valt, points her red pistol at him and fires. Grey dust swirls out of the gun, suddenly combusting as it flies through the air at the summoner.
"Robot. They are intruders. Eliminate them now!"
1. Alexis, Nyssa, Nortmog, Kraig
2. Enemies
3. Valt
"I'm not leaving without my robot brother!" Kraig approaches and punches the robot he's not related to.
Alexis sings a song of heroes saving the day, stopping an impending doom, with special reference to the fate of the evil one doing it.
She also moves into the room, behind cover if she can.
Kraig moves at the floating robot punches it and feels its hard metal skin on his fists. The robot does not seem phased by Kraig's attack, though he is sure it definitely hit the unprepared robot.
"Robots are my favorite food," the goblin dragon says. "Oh wait, is this your brother, beard man?"
The goblin fires a shot at the robot anyway. The bullet cracks off one of the robots fingers.
Nyssa takes a double move to come in range of the purple haired woman.
The purple haired woman takes a step back, her tattoos start to glow with an ominous brighter pink light. She points her gauntlet hand at Nyssa and divine words burst from her lips. "Great Hellion, aid me in burning this fool with your divine light!" The light surrounds Nyssa but she remains standing. "Ah, you aren't human. My mistake."
The Collector Robot strikes at Kraig with its fists.
The first strike misses, pushing through Kraig's mass of hair. The other open fist slaps him in the chest and grabs his arm, in a tightening metal grip.
Valt calls for another elemental, this time opening the rift just behind the purple haired woman. Then, he speaks to it.
The elemental uses his body to relentlessly push the woman out of the platform.
The earth elemental suddenly appearing behind the purple haired woman surprises her. She curses under her breath and is pushed to the ground level.
She is prone.
Nyssa utters a litany of curses as she clambers back down the ladder. Knocking Purlply Locks of the platform was good, but it is giving her the old run around.
Kraig tries to expertly gain control of the brawl, but the cutting words of the earlier orcs still left him shaken and unable to focus.
Nyssa goes after the fallen android woman. She almost makes it to her position.
Nortmog reloads his musket.
Kraig tries to grapple with the robot and gain control but he remains within the hold of the collector's steely grasp.
Alexis darts over to the fallen woman, and strikes
The android knocks aside Alexis rapier with her gauntlet. She stares directly at Alexis' eyes. "I understand now. There are so many filthy humans here. It is no wonder Hellion sent me to this place. To burn it."
The collector robot tries to maintain its hold on Kraig. Keeping its grip on the brawler, it smacks him across the face with its other hand. The robot speaks in Androffan as it slaps him.
The android stands up (provoking from Alexis) and channels negative energy around her.
Valt feels the pain of the dark energy, so he calls another creature at the androids side, and goes back to take cover. The previous elemental vanishes as soon as the new one comes, hitting the purple haired woman mercilessly.
Kraig isn't badly effected by the evil whateverness, but things were still looking dark.
"You don't say that! Just cuz he only has one arm doesn't mean I love him any less!"
Kraig expertly slips the robots grasp and turns the grapple on the creature.
Valt's summoned earth elemental strikes the woman with its fists. She coughs up pink blood. Kraig holds on to the hovering robot pulling it closer to the ground.
Nortmog shouts above the humming reactor. "Don't worry, beard man. My fangs are accurate!" He shoots at the Robot in Kraig's arms. He cringes as it pierces through only one of the drone's rotors.
Nyssa somehow manages to shrug off the worst of the dark channeling. Shield leading Nyssa rushes Meyanda, then pivots at what she hopes is the right moment, to lash out with her blade.
