GM Chyro |
The rest of the team waits in the central hall, while Ting heads into the junk disco.
From outside of the room, his judgement is the junk piles are made of an assortment of metal parts. It is not until that he walks into the room, that they turn out to be more than meets the eye.
A red light flickers within each as he sets initial steps into the room.
Gears and circuitry start up swiftly, and the junk piles rise to be two aggressive machines.
=========================
Brallenera: 1d20 + 1 ⇒ (13) + 1 = 14
Drexel: 1d20 + 1 ⇒ (9) + 1 = 10
Ting Tang: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (19) + 4 = 23
Mylvwara: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (16) + 2 = 18

Bralenera, Drexel, Nemesis
Ting Tang |
Ting steps back out of the door, lifting his sword high above his head with on talon, and putting the finger of his other to his beak. "Ssshhhhh, Here's tha steely blokes come, wroight."
10 ft move, Readied attack, (first one that comes out)
attack: 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (18) + 10 = 28 for damage: 1d10 + 1 + 6 + 6 ⇒ (8) + 1 + 6 + 6 = 21
GM Chyro |
Ref bot, quadruplet: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (18) + 4 = 22
The grease covers some ground in the northern part of the room, but the bot remains standing.
--------------------
Security bots
Blue starts moving ahead.
Ref, quadruplet: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (3) + 4 = 7
In its haste to get close to the intruders, it slips nonetheless.
Green rushes towards Ting, taking his prepared attack.
Electric sparks fly as it is damaged.
1d6 ⇒ 4, and the saw that was attached to an appendage falls off.
Slam: 1d20 + 7 + 2 ⇒ (8) + 7 + 2 = 17 Dmg: 1d4 + 4 ⇒ (3) + 4 = 7, Ting evades a slam in time as it comes his way.
---------------------
Brallenera, Drexel, Nemesis
Nemesis Melek |
Seeing the machine appears to have been 'disarmed' of its finest weapon, Nemesis opts for a direct approach, going after it with her sword: Spare but tasteful in design, and a solid, deadly black in color.
Adamantine longsword!: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (13) + 4 = 17
damage: 1d8 ⇒ 4
GM Chyro |
Nemesis's blade is crafted from a fine alloy, sharp enough to actually slice across the robotic surface as if it were flesh.
Brallenera
Brallenera Thalkham |
Brallenera flanks the mettalic thingy, and strikes
Attack: 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (4) + 10 = 14
Dmg: 1d10 + 4 ⇒ (9) + 4 = 13
But apart from a loud *CLONG*, it doesn't seem to have much effect
GM Chyro |
Well, actually....they have very poor AC.
Because she's flanking with Ting, Brallenera lands a hit for 8 dmg.
============================

Security bots
Green (-28)

Bralenera, Drexel, Nemesis
Brallenera Thalkham |
Instead of rejoicing, Brallenera frows.
Awww, I can't Believe how easily I hit them. I Wonder if it's not a trap, and they are constructed to be easy targets. I'll try to smash its legs out, so you can get a look, Beaky. Maybe you'll spot a mechanism...
Plan to Trip the Bot next round
GM Chyro |
The acid hits the bot, but it turns out its exterior is resistant to most of the acid.
1 dmg.
Ting finishes the job, putting so much force into his attack, that it turns the bot into scrap-metal.
-----------------
Then, Hellion's face appears on the screens again.
"Unfathomably sentient apes, you demise shall be a delight to my superior presence."
Ting, will save DC 18 if you please.
The blue bot stands up, and makes motion to head towards the door.
Balance, quadruplet: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (4) + 4 = 8, yet its robotic limbs slip across the surface, getting it prone again.
-----------------
Brallenera, Drexel, Nemesis
Nemesis Melek |
DM, would you please indicate the parameters of the grease? I have taken the liberty of clearing the 'scrap'.
Hmm...wasn't there a time when magical grease was also highly flammable? 8)
GM Chyro |
I can't edit on phone. Assume the bot is in the NE corner of a 10ft by 10ft grease area.
Brallenera Thalkham |
Awww, there will be a reckoning for those words. You will soon feel the taste of my axe, no mistake.
Brallenera threatens the screen with her axe, and for good measure smashes it.
Nemesis Melek |
Nemesis ventures forth, mercilessly blasting the hapless robot with purest elemental Fire.
Fire Bolt: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (4) + 3 = 7
damage: 1d6 + 3 ⇒ (1) + 3 = 4
The hapless robot? No, that would be the floor. The hapless, unsuspecting, vicious floor.
GM Chyro |
Alright mistress of mayhem, let's see a dmg roll to see if you do smash it.
The bot is spared acid...
Drexel
GM Chyro |
Mistake from the GM, it's spared fire.
Brallenera swings her axe against the screen, but it isn't destroyed yet.
Drexel is unsure of what to do in this situation, having seen weapons deal reduced dmg to the robotic exterior.
====================================
who's you's callin' "Ape" cocking his head "'er "sentient" fer 'at matter, wroight?
Hellion: "YOU!"
Robot security, round 3
Ting is affected by a spell, and drops his sword, as he clutches his head in his hands.
His hands grow claws, and his beak turns razor sharp in the process.
Ting is dazed this round.
Mylvwara

Security bots
Green (-28)
-----------------------
Bralenera, Drexel, Nemesis
GM Chyro |
Ok.
The bot stands up, and makes motion to head towards Nemesis.
Acro, quadruplet: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (20) + 4 = 24, and it does.
Saw: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (2) + 7 = 9 Bzz bzz: 2d4 + 4 ⇒ (1, 1) + 4 = 6
The bot's aiming sequencers must be malfunctioning, the saw isn't getting anywhere near her.
----------------------
Brallenera, Drexel, Nemesis
Nemesis Melek |
Nemesis steps carefully back from the thing, a veritable picture with her armor gleaming in the unnatural light, dark sword and shield raised, and blasts it again with flame.
Fire Bolt: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (20) + 3 = 23
damage: 1d6 + 3 ⇒ (4) + 3 = 7
Gor'blimey, that's a THREAT!: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (9) + 3 = 12
Critical damage?: 1d6 + 3 ⇒ (2) + 3 = 5 + 7 would = 12
GM Chyro |
While Brallenera's mighty axe isn't in the mood to hit the robot (yet), a pilum and firebolt do hit.
Nemesis' fire is briefly hot enough to melt a soft spot.
9 fire dmg to bot, and 4 from the pilum.
What's the [ooc would=12] mean?
======================================
Robot security, round 4
The team pays seemingly little notice to Ting's condition, who now looks like a feral bird of prey, recovering from sudden changes.
You are, for 8 rounds, under the effects of a barbarian's rage & confusion, with all effects related to them.
You have a bite attack (1d4+str) and 2 claws (1d4+str)
[Confusion table]
01-25 Act normally
26-50 Do nothing but babble incoherently

Bot (-13)

Brallenera, Drexel, Nemesis
Ting Tang |
As ting releases his head, he notices the talons and a building anger. Shrugging his shoulders, he scoops up his sword then moves to where he can help attack the robot.
round one. rage AC 18, move action picks up his sword, move action 20 ft.
GM Chyro |
Try a Kn. Arcana.
Ting going feral could be from a spell named Moonstruck.
Magic which causes the victim to suffer from an animalistic rage, accompanied with physical characteristics. The victim's mind is clouded, and could attack anything and anyone nearby in its state.
Mylvwara Elberion |
”Ting, you have been ensorcled! Any moment you could drop your weapon and attack an ally! Make sure you stay close to the foe and away from us!”
GM Chyro |
Ting approaches the bot, sword in his clumsy clawed hands.
Mylvwara recognizes the effects from a spell from a seminar prior to the voyage towards Numeria.
-------------------
Bot turns towards 1d2 ⇒ 2, Ting.
Saw: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (10) + 8 = 18 Bzz bzz: 2d4 + 4 ⇒ (3, 1) + 4 = 8, The bot's circular saw slices a wound aross Ting's arm.
--------------------
Brallenera, Drexel, Nemesis
Brallenera Thalkham |
Aww, as long as Beaky attacks me without his weapons, I can survive, I guess.
Brallenera attacks the bot too
attack: 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (17) + 10 = 27
dmg: 1d10 + 4 ⇒ (4) + 4 = 8
Nemesis Melek |
Nemesis heads to the other end of the room, away from Ting, and once again presents her unholy icon. It seems to absorb the heat and very matter from the room in a focused reverse-blast, almost like the terrible golden thing were inhaling....
[dice=Channel Force, DC 17, Mr. Roboto is also pulled toward me on a failed save]3d6[/dice]
GM Chyro |
Brallenera hacks into the bot for 3, causing a small dent.
Subroutines bot: 1d20 + 1 ⇒ (9) + 1 = 10
The bot is somehow pulled by a brief magnetic force, caused by Nemesis' channel playing a prank on the room, towards the greased area.
The bot takes 3 energy dmg.
Drexel
Nemesis Melek |
The bot takes 3 energy dmg.
They have negative energy resistance, too??? You're certain about this? That's rare.
Also, I believe it's now going to need to make another Reflex save or Acrobatics check...>:)
GM Chyro |
Now that you mention it, i've done some extra reading, in relation to hardness & channel with constructs.
Regular energy dmg (elements) is divided by 2, before hardness is applied. (unless mentioned as weakness, then mu-ha-ha)
Channel energy:
Constructs are immune to channel energy, as they are neither living nor undead. -However, this archetype actually can.-
Likewise mentioned in multiple threads, over at rules Q&A.
Mr bot would then be unharmed and out of the grease area.
Nemesis Melek |
Well, gol'friggity. Take II:
Nemesis heads to the other end of the room, away from Ting, and calls an incandescent divine ward upon herself (shield of faith +2).
Drexel Santangelo |
Drexel tumbles forward to get into position to attack the robot without provoking an attack, and then slashes at it with his falcata.
Acrobatics to avoid AoO: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (10) + 5 = 15
Falcata power attack vs. robot: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (16) + 7 = 231d8 + 8 ⇒ (1) + 8 = 9
GM Chyro |
Drexel joins the others in the fighting up close. While nimble, he was only just slow enough for the bot to react to him passing by.
Rotary saw: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (4) + 8 = 12 Bzz bzz: 2d4 + 4 ⇒ (4, 2) + 4 = 10
Thankfully, the bot's reaction was too late, and Drexel's blade slashes across the exterior.
4 dmg to bot.
